"You could show up to Interstellar for nothing but brisket and ribs and leave perfectly content—maybe even a little giddy by how well executed they are. But you’d be depriving yourself of sweet and sticky pork belly burnt ends glazed in peach tea, rich and gamey pulled lamb shoulder, and a chalkboard of daily specials that make Interstellar worthy of the 1-2 hour line. This is a barbecue joint that decided getting an A in the classics wasn’t enough and made up its own extra-credit assignments. Frito pies arrive in sausage form—stuffed with beef, cheese, beans, and toasted corn chips—and even sides like poblano creamed corn and smoked scalloped potatoes turn humble comfort foods into sides worthy of a top-tier barbecue joint. At Interstellar, brisket and ribs are just the beginning." - nicolai mccrary, kevin gray, nick rallo
