"Rich Sim does his Texas-style barbecue pop-up around the city, with a regular appearance at Idle Hands Craft Ales in Malden. Sim’s passion-driven smoked meats have amassed some following: The thickly sliced brisket is tender and juicy, and you can customize the fat-to-lean meat ratio to your liking. Another standout is the kimchi slaw, which perfectly cuts the fattiness in a pulled pork sandwich. Be sure to follow the Sim’s BBQ website for updates for additional pop-ups at other breweries such as Widowmaker in Braintree." - Valerie Li Stack, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
