So, A, Cameo, and I went to Madison Square Park's Barbecue Block Party this afternoon.
Walking toward the park, all you could see was a giant cloud of smoke that smelled absolutely delicious. As you walked through the center of the park, there were stands selling all sorts of beers that looked great (though we didn't try any--we are poor college kids after all...)
On the outskirts of the park were the food stands. Pulled pork sandwiches, baby back ribs, beef brisket, grilled corn, blueberry cobbler... It was amazing. The lines snaked around the park with so many people waiting that you'd think they hadn't eaten for days.
A and I decided to split a pulled pork sandwich and baby back ribs. I got the ribs and beans from 17th St. Bar and Grill's station and A and Cameo got sandwiches from Ubon's: The BBQ of Yazoo. Here's a picture of the two (A had previously started on the pulled pork sandwich and I accidentally dug into one of the ribs before remembering I should probably take a picture.)
The pulled pork was a little dry to my taste, but still very good. A said previous bites were better and I probably just got some of the dry part.
The ribs were great though! Juicy, tender, and with a great sauce. The beans were also nice, but were very sweet since they were slathered in barbecue sauce.
I got this great picture, too:
I wanted to eat WAY more than we got, but for $8 a plate, it was still pretty expensive for us. We walked away a little hungry, but still happy that we got to eat what we did!
Anyway, the block party is open for tomorrow, too!
Off to finish the last creme brulee...
Happy Eating,
KS
