Best barbecue
Hill Country
Other nominees: Fette Sau, Georgia’s Eastside BBQ, R.U.B.
Last year’s onslaught of barbecue spots filled our fair city with the scent of smoldering wood, but one Chelsea roadhouse is ahead of the competition. Pit master Robbie Richter’s recent departure didn’t stop you from voting this larger-than-life Texan ’cue joint the city’s best. Pete Daversa mans the meat these days, and it’s as indulgent as ever: Moist brisket is ridged with fat, and Kreuz sausages, a Lone Star import, bulge from their casings. Ask and they’ll tell you: The seasoning is basic salt and pepper, but that doesn’t mean you can do this at home.

Apparently the readers of this magazine have no BBQ experience whatsoever if they think hill country is the best! I know there is a shortage of good BBQ in NYC, but even Dallas BBQ is better than this overpriced garbage chain! Daisy Mae's, RUB, hell, the mcRib is better than hill country! If you like paying 10 bucks for a mexican coke that tastes like every other coke in the world, and carrying a bunch of subpar smoked meats all over a buffet restaurant then by all means, enjoy!
