"Texas Links at Jax BBQ: It seemed there was disappointment around every corner when I visited barbecue newcomer Jax, located behind the Port Authority in Hell’s Kitchen. Served with what tasted like bottled blue cheese dressing, the item called Texas links turned out to be plain old Italian pork sausage instead of the real Texas hot links I’d hoped for, or even the more common beef links of Central Texas. As a former Dallasite who depended on hot links for my high school lunches, it was an emotional disappointment in addition to a culinary one. They didn’t even taste like smoke. Management must have figured that no real Texan would ever wander into the place. The ribs and pulled pork — smothered in a sickly sweet barbecue sauce — were equally off." - Robert Sietsema
