After a yearlong renovation, the ’Cue crew returns to Brooklyn on April 9th, reviving its signature finger-lickin’ brand of Southeast Asian
BBQ in the revamped
Billyburg space. Melding the down and dirty style of the original Fatty with the more refined dishes of the
West Village locale, chef Anthony Masters (
Momofuku Noodle Bar,
Eleven Madison Park) turns out new items like chile-rubbed leg of lamb, pig ears glazed with uni sauce and fermented pork rice dumplings. Fans of the original can find Wet Nap–necessary favorites, including deckle-cut brisket and heritage-pork ribs. They’ve also updated the look of the place, from the bathroom (remodeled with subway tiles and chalkboard paint) to a more dapper barroom (spruced up with copper walls, dark walnut wood and green leather banquettes). Sip signature
cocktails like the Fatty Manhattan (modernized with smoked cherry-coke syrup) at the rowdy, reggae-soundtracked bar, or head upstairs to the second-floor dining room for a quieter sit-down affair.
