Walked by a thousand times - read about the high end gourmet chef - hunkering down to satisfy gourmand appetites with perhaps the best BBQ in Manhattan - so this time - I entered - carefully analyzed the menu - considered my choices - tasted the creamed cheese corn (awesome) - ordered -
I made the right decision -
Pulled pork was awesome - right degree of pull - shreds and chunks - physically thick sauce without being heavy - nice mix of spices that complemented the meat -
Chopped brisket - had it the next day - equally awesome - nicely trimmed - before serving - much spicier BBQ sauce than the pork - without being "hot" - no urge to grab the skinny bottles of red hot/hotter/hottest pepper sauces that I keep for similar occasions - the meat was delicious - well balanced -
Could have gone crazy with the sides (fixin's) - baked beans with burnt ends - creamed spinach - mashed potatoes with red eye gravy - macaroni and cheese - creamy coleslaw - rustic creamy corn with ny state cheddar (mentioned above) - but I chose to "live another day" - just ordering meat for take out -
Slight disappointment that ribs - KC Sweet and Sticky - Memphis Dry Rub - Oklahoma Jumbo Beef - did not include Baby Backs - but I will have to return for a sampler before passing final judgment -
Overall - first venture in the door - a success - marking Daisy Mae to return for more -
Enjoy -
by the by - there was a packing error - when I got home - found that I had been shorted a container of pulled pork - called in - gave them my order number - 8 oz container delivered to my home - no questions asked - class act -
