"Salty, smoky, fatty meats are made to be eaten outside—it’s just human nature. Hometown Bar-B-Que sells New York’s best smoky fatty meats, and tearing off pieces of their slick, tender brisket dusted with flake salt while sitting at a picnic table is a great way to spend a weekend afternoon in Red Hook. Head to Brooklyn Crab afterwards if you need a drink." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah
