A Caribbean-style spin on BBQ? New York’s got that at Jase’s BBQ. Learning the ins and outs of the trade by cooking alongside his mother in his native home of Tobago, Jase Franklyn infuses his barbecue with island flavors, including the curled pig tails and jerk wings—his claim to fame from his time in the Rockaways to his next move, a tent at Smorgasboard. The brisket, sliced to order, is a mouthwatering staple—slathered in a sweet and smoky passionfruit sauce. There’s really nothing quite like it. Complete the perfect BBQ meal with any of the classic sides, like creamy mac and cheese, golden cornbread and crisp coleslaw.
