And Edison lights, don't forget Edison lights.

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.

Looks tasty! I wonder how it would go if I wore my MAGA Tee Shirt there?
Got a name for that hole in the wall barbecue joint? I’ll make a point of hitting it if I’m nearby.
And Edison lights, don't forget Edison lights.
Oddly the worst pizza I ever had was a toss up between Rome and Tokyo.
I gave the Nips sympathy here..
LOL
I kinda expected French girls to be really cute.
The food was wonderful
I kinda expected Italian food to be wonderful.
The girls were really cute. /S
43 years in Texas. Brisket RULES!!!
If it’s done right it doesn’t need any sauce.
Now in NC for 7 years, spent 6 years looking for Brisket here. Made it Myself until last year We got Big Tiny’s BBQ Downtown!!! Thank God now I can get a quick fix if needed.
If I’d had the money I would have opened My own place.
They can keep that vinegar sauce Crap!!!
Now the Co wont spring for Jimmy John’s on a working lunch LOL
MAGA!
“Aint no better” brisket than what we do in Texas. However, I must admit when it comes to cured pork the Spanish are the best. They take their cured pork dishes very seriously. It is used at breakfast, a main course and the hard cured pork in their soups is delectable. The small mom and pop type restaurants in the rural areas away from the tourist are supreme. Most of their customers are locals and they must provide good fare at a reasonable price or they are out of business.
ps
When you get off the beaten path in Spain you will find the locals most hospitable. If you speak Spanish (wife and I do) their hospitality is most outstanding. If you are near the seacoast the local fish dishes are great. The octopus black soup is outstanding. Wife person was devouring it until I told her what it was. I got to eat my soup and half of hers when I told her what it was.
Cured pork dishes in Spain are the best and Italy is a close second.
Ahh, pastrami. Can’t find could pastrami sold anywhere here in the swamp. What’s sold as pastrami is Boar’s Head 99% lean corned beef cold cuts with a dusting of pepper along the edges that never even makes it off the meat slicer. Essentially, it’s Boar’s Head ham made with beef instead of pork. Other brands exist, but they follow Boar’s Head lead. Boar’s Head makes nice ham, but pastrami should be loose but dense; textured, not smooth; highly marbled, not 99% lean; and cut messily with a knife, not is neat cuts by a meat slicer.
Don’t they know edison lights are verboten? LOL
Edison was a hack anyway but the incadincadoo bulb changed the world.
Good Q makes its own sauce.
I like Pork and a lil vinegar based sauce ON THE SIDE.
Some in the south wont eat Q without pickles and onions ON THE SIDE
"BBQ here [in Brooklyn] can be whatever you want it to be and your BBQ place can look like whatever you want it to look like"
I’m tired of low wattage lighting when I go out to a bar or to dine.
Can’t read the weird typeface they put on a menu (in tiny print).
Honestly, just another 15-25W of lot would make a lot of difference.
Stringing a bunch of 25W lights together just approaches 25W (or less) of ambient lighting.
Served with a generous side of hipster pretense!
And for over a decade they’ve been pulling the drywall boards off of walls (which absorbed sounds, reflected light, and permitted easier changing artworks).
It’s not generous. Customers pay extra for that and then post “hashtag FIRST!”
