Why Is Brooklyn Barbecue Taking Over the World?
Munchies ^ | March 4, 2018 | Nicholas Gill

Brooklyn BBQ is spreading to every corner of the world—Colombia, Spain, Panama, Sweden, England, and Japan—looking like it came straight out of Williamsburg. But why aren't these countries taking cues from Texas or Kansas City?

After sitting down at the restaurant Pork in Barcelona, a long menu describing different preparations of pork is set before me. There is charcuterie made from Iberian pigs, various types of dry-aged sausages and chorizos, and slow cooked and grilled pork. Everything is sold by weight. There are also hanging Edison bulbs and the beer, brewed in conjunction with a cult brewer in Liverpool, is served by the jar or by growler. There are butcher knife tap handles in front of white subway tiles. After the waitress explains the menu to me, she says a restaurant in New York was the inspiration.

"In Brooklyn?" I ask.

She nods.

"Fette Sau?"

She nods again. I'm not surprised. This is the third time I've heard this in a year.

It can’t be world changing since this 2018 Vice article originally appeared on another site in 2014.

It’s selling an idea that it SHOULD be changing the world.

It's "Vice". They think it's edgy, as well as appealing to millennials...

I'm not clicking. I've got the channel locked on the cable, too. Just to make sure I don't accidentally land on it.

I have lived in Tx for 25 years.
The BBQ is good and beef based, no sauce.

I like pork and Carolina style sauce, slaw and bread.
And you gotta have pickles and onions

It’s all good

Peter Luger was worth a ride out from Midtown when I was up there on business frequently but that was nearly 20 years ago. Quite the institution but sometimes institutions slip, check recent reviews first, I know I was disappointed in Don Chin’s out in Wheeling and that was a hike in a rental car, and it was mobbed. I liked Delmonicos down by Wall Street better at the time as far as a steak, though.

What is the punishment in the EUSSR for opening a smokehouse pork restaurant called Get The Halal Out specializing in ham, sausage links, pork loin, and cracklins?

I prefer the pickles, myself.

Those rolls look like they have some mileage on them.

Au contraire...

This is “The World” embracing Brooklyn-Cue as The Standard and what is being served (improperly and overpriced, likely) from Spain to England to Japan and all points in-between. These same nations hold standards such that only cheese from one area can be called “Parmesan”...

There are a good four different Carolina styles, what you had was probably eastern NC, vinegar pepper sauce, sweet creamy coleslaw as a counterpoint. Best place I have ever had eastern NC was literally a small concrete block building sort of hidden in behind a residential area, they opened when they felt like it and when they did the lines formed. They had in addition to barbecue, fried cornbread and collard sandwiches. Sounds maybe a little gross but it was awesome with butter and hot sauce.

Here in Tx the Mexicans make barbacoa , this is probably where the term BBQ originated.

Its a steers head, they shred the meat from the cheeks and all after it cooks low and slow in a pit all night.

They will stick the skull right on top of a pile of meat just so there is no misunderstanding LOL

I like pork, but its all good.
In Kentucky they BBQ Mutton and use a mustard sauce.

Down here they call that Borrego, but there aint no mustard sauce

Then there is cabrito

It’s usually the German settle areas that end up with a mustard based sauce. South Carolina has it too, that’s the only barbecue I’ve ever met that I don’t like. It’s not the sauce, it’s the soggy pulp they make of the pork that puts me off.

Then there’s Alabama white sauce. Awesome ribs, very mundane origin of the sauce, beginning with mayonnaise. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it though, lol.

Whatever the punishment, it’s worth it just to read that sign everyday. ;))
