See those juicy baby back ribs? Matt and I went to the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party today at Madison Square Park. We had ribs, brisket, sausages and baked beans.
We walked through the park, wondering where all the barbecue was until we got to 24th Street and Madison Avenue. People lined up at New York City barbecue vendors. But we wanted to try ribs from the heart of barbecue country.
I had heard of The Salt Lick Bar-B-Que in Driftwood, Texas. We stood in a long line to get to that brisket and sausage.
Matt hates waiting in lines. (He's standing behind the pregnant woman.)
I could taste the smoke. And the sauce just made the brisket so good.
Matt's family is from southern Illinois, so we had to try barbecue from 17th Street Bar & Grill from Murphysboro, Illinois.
Ahh. Ribs.
Big Apple Barbecue Block Party is still going on Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Madison Square Park, 23rd Street and Madison Avenue, New York.
