"Triple J’s Smokehouse in Trinity Gardens is a vibe first, and a barbecue take out spot second. The northeast spot almost always has a line and a loud Montell Jordan playlist bumping through the speakers. Go here to not only dance while you wait, but also for some of the best spicy boudin, loaded baked potatoes, and cookout sides in the city. Take everything to go, ‘cause almost everyone else is, or flip open your styrofoam box full of smoked meats at a counter seat. Then dig into some ribs and homemade sausage while taking in Triple J’s preferred artwork: hundreds of ironic, silly, and mom-level-joke signs. " - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
