Carolina-style BBQ with Latin flair: tender brisket, ribs
"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
"The wings at this food truck in Allapattah are massive and taste like they were smoked over a volcano. The smoke flavor penetrates down to the bone. But what really makes these stand out is the vinegary Carolina-style sauce that has the slightest kick and coats every millimeter. It’s not a bad idea to come with a friend so you can get a tray full of smoked meat, but these are a great meal on their own." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"Slab Daddy’s location is still a work in progress. But their food isn’t. For now, the barbecue spot is operating out of a food truck in an empty lot. But you could eat their spare ribs in a swarm of venomous snakes, and feel your worries slip away as easily as the meat does off the bone. This is tangy, vinegary, Carolina-style barbecue. Expect the usual suspects like corn bread, pulled pork sandwiches, and brisket. But you can also have rice and beans or make little tacos with flour tortillas, carnitas, slaw, and baptize it all in barbecue sauce." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

Food Rundown Peach Glazed Spare Ribs A little sweet, a little tart, but consistently tender. Sounds like our ideal life partner. The meat doesn’t fall off the bone unprompted—it tugs away from the bone with every bite, which is the way it should be with barbecue ribs. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Miami Style Brisket We’re not sure what makes this brisket “Miami style”—it’s just a perfectly executed smoked brisket. It’s delicious, especially when you slather it with their peppery neon orange sauce. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Mac & Cheese The amount of breadcrumbs in this ensures texture and crunch in every bite. Tray For Two This includes all of the above, plus carnitas and tortillas. It’s $60, which isn’t a bad deal at all if you’re splitting it with someone. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Smoked Chicken Wings These don’t come in the tray for two, but add them. They’re tossed in a vinegary sauce and the hours of smoking have penetrated down to the bone. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc" - Virginia Otazo
