"In East Village, the gastropub Knotty Barrel recently unveiled a new barbecue menu served every Friday starting at 4 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from noon until sold out, with owner and pitmaster Kenny Lovi tending a backyard offset smoker to produce Central Texas brisket, turkey, and sausages smoked over white oak and offered in sandwiches or plates with sides like mac salad, coleslaw, and black-eyed peas with collard greens, plus sauces such as a mango-habanero barbecue and a sauce regional to Lexington, Kentucky." - Candice Woo
