If you’ve been a regular at Smorgasburg then I’m sure you know about Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque and the crazy long line of people waiting for their delicious meat. I got lucky once and went early enough with only a handful of people in line. Their meat is definitely good but oh hey they have a spot now in the East Village that will make getting their tasty bbq a whole lot easier.

Many have told me that their brisket was only okay so I decided to get the pulled pork. For about $8, you get a massive amount of pork, topped with bbq sauce and comes with cole slaw and one veg side (I opted for the pickled onions). This was one serious sandwich. Tender juicy pork overflowing out of the bun (is it okay to have wanted two thick slices of Texas toast instead?) and wash everything down with a root beer. Oh yeah.

After eating at SriPraPhai in Woodside, Queens, my next Queens stop was……….the Butcher Bar. I was pretty excited to try this place and had made plans with friends to try it. Seeing all those delicious looking photos, I had my mind set on the PBLT sandwich and some double smoked burnt ends. Though just a few hours before heading out to Astoria, the INTERNET spoke and said that I should go to John Brown Smokehouse instead. Being a cheap aZZ, the cheaper price at John Brown Smokehouse quickly won my over.

I guess by now everyone has blogged and tweeted about what happened this weekend. It suuurree was an epic weekend. There were Bonnaroo, World Cup and the Big Apple BBQ Block Party all going on at the same time. Too bad there weren’t any giant screens at Madison Square Park showing the World Cup like they do for the US Opens. Anyways back to BBQ, sadly this year there was no Salt Lick. Apparently there was an injury and they couldn’t make it. Usually my friends and I would line up at 10:45am for Salt Lick’s brisket but thanks to the World Cup some of my friends decided to catch the USA vs England game and some of my friends were out of town. This year even though Salt Lick couldn’t make it there were few new editions to the BBQ line up.
