You're just asking for trouble
Another whack at New York's newest attempt at a barbecue joint in the Times: "Perhaps it is time to accept a simple truth: New York will never be a great barbecue town. Driving that axiom is a simple, irrefutable truth: Regional food tastes best in its region. Ever eat a Chicago-style hot dog in Seattle or a bagel in Salt Lake City? Take a Mission-style burrito out of San Francisco, or Maryland blue crabs from their shoreline, and you're just asking for trouble."
