"Owner Josh Bowen of John Brown Smokehouse recently opened his second, long-awaited barbecue restaurant Mothership Meat Company at 27-20 40th Ave., on 28th Street, and it comes with a large outdoor beer garden and an Austin, Texas-inspired menu, LIC Post reports. Dishes at the new restaurant include all the classics like brisket, ribs, and prime rib, though Bowen says “unique” options like goat ribs, frog legs, and Hawaiian-style sausage will also appear." - Carla Vianna
