The Smoke Joint or Little Piggy Market?

I was in search for Little Piggy Market after a BAM show and it was no where to be found. The same address happens to be The Smoke Joint, after talking to our waiter, The Smoke Joint is the Little Piggy Market. Daytime Piggy, night-time Smoky. Spare rack, crispy cornmeal crusted catfish platter, and BBQ fries. What a feast!! The meaty spare rack was marinated with a dry rub and hada smoky flavor. The crispy catfish was lightly battered with cornmeal and fried in high heat so that no oil can penetrate into the flaky fish. Last but not least, the bbq fries were perfectly crisped even a stuffed fat belly cannot resist.

Chewy Dried Ribs

I've read alot of good reviews on the latest Wildwood Barbeque located around Union Square, so i ventured out to see what's so great about it but at the end I was very disappointed. The ribs looked good with their glazed top but i can hardly get the meat off the bone.  The pulled pork was tasteless and sauce was too vinegary. To summarize ... it's Dry & Chewy, almost broke my jaw. Not worth the stars.

Dry Rubbed Ribs

Summer is always a great time to grill in your own backyard. This backyard rib was rubbed with sweet mesquite, grilled for 3 hours and finished with the Jack Daniel's bbq sauce. The outcome was fantastic. The meat was moist and it just falls right off the bone.

Bar-ME-que

How can i miss the yearly Bar-ME-Cue Block Party at Madison Square Park. Even though it's 90F, this will not stop me from venturing to the hot bbq grill. Standing in the twist and turn endless line, i actually feel like the piece of meat being grilled on the asphalt pavement.

Since i live in New York, of course i have to try BBQ other than the ones located in NYC. Texas is my first stop. Baker's Ribs from Dallas, Texas. Hidden behind the Bread Mountain is the charcoal black looking ribs. Surprisingly, it's so tender that meat falls off the bone and the meat is so moist and juicy. With the home-made bbq sauce tops its off.
While i'm still chowing down my ribs, i'm already looking for my next stand. South Carolina - Pulled Pork, my next target. This mouth watering Pulled-Pork sandwich is dressed with vinegary bbq sauce that makes me want to line up for another one. But i started to feel a little charred so i decided to hide under the shade before i'm cooked.
