Miami’s Best (And Most Miami) Barbecue Spots - Miami - The Infatuation

"Apocalypse BBQ is like Smoke & Dough’s chaotic younger sibling. Both spots love to rub cafecito on things before shoving it into a smoker. Both also Miamify their sauces—Apocalypse’s oro negro sauce has a faint whisper of a sugar from the colada. Food aside, there is no denying that Apocalypse is the most Miami of all the barbecue spots in spirit. It feels like a Kendall house party. Back when it was operating out of a golf shack, they’d give free beers to people in line, until someone had one too many (how Miami) and they had to stop. The line may be a tad more sober these days, but the energy inside is still operating at a Miami volume. Servers call you bro and talk about the mojo mustard with the same enthusiasm as a Disney World employee talks about Mickey Mouse." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
