"This laidback BBQ spot is famous for all of the right reasons. Their brisket burger tastes like the smoky gourmet cousin of a certain fast-food burger that rhymes with “pig snack,” and their burnt ends in red sauce go beautifully with the cucumbers, carrots, cilantro, and pickled chilies in the bánh mì. If you’re extra hungry or can’t commit, go for a platter with a selection of meats and updated versions of classic sides like refreshing apple-cilantro slaw and poblano-laced mac and cheese. Double check your calendar before you get too excited, though. They’re only open Thursday through Sunday." - Gabi Moskowitz
