"Out of all the players in the Miami-style barbecue universe, Slab Daddy’s approach is the most understated (sort of). There’s nothing subtle about the graffiti puns surrounding the Allapattah food truck. The nuance is on the menu. They’re cooking a unique mashup of Carolina-style barbecue with Latin American nods that lean into Miami’s growing Nicaraguan diaspora. You can order a side of rice and beans with your brisket, and their slaw tastes like ensalada de repollo (because it’s inspired by one). Queso frito and flour tortillas are also frequent guests on Slab Daddy’s meat platters. They’re essentially operating from a parking lot, but the folks who work here will make even the most inhospitable day in summer feel like a chill getty with friends. If you understood that sentence, you’re going to appreciate this place." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
