"Set your sights on this bright-orange beacon of barbecue, then line up cafeteria-style to order heavily seasoned brisket and juicy, St. Louis-style pork ribs that are dark pink with smoke and fall off the bone with ease. The Pit sandwich stacks a mound of burnt ends and other beefy pieces crisped up on the plancha onto bread, and it makes a fine meal if you don’t mind the mess. Add the chunky potato salad spiked with green herbs and peppery horseradish to cut through all the richness. If that fails, there’s also an ice tub filled with cans of Colt 45." - kevin gray, nick rallo, rosin saez
