Carnivorous Crowds Pack Wildwood Barbeque
Even though it had been open less than a week Wildwood Barbeque, the latest addition to the burgeoning New York City barbeque scene, was mobbed with merry meatheads Wednesday night. Folks were queued up at the entranceway, as they waited to taste meats from Pitmaster Big Lou Elrose.
Big Lou had been deputy pitmaster of Hill Country and has cooked many a barbeque competition. He's clearly just at home smoking with the Texas post oak used at Hill Country as he is with the fruitwoods that are used at Wildwood. The meats were all on point, including the beef brisket, which was gobbled up too quickly for a photo. The menu makes a point of noting that it's "hand-rubbed by Big Lou." If you like your beef brisket juicy be sure to ask for the point or deckle cut.
Since there's really no such thing as New York City-style barbeque, Wildwood's 'cue hail pays tribute to various regional styles. As far as sides, there's nothing earth-shattering going on here. If only there had been room for dessert, the fluffer-nutter smores sound awesome.

fatties.
wow. Look at all that cancerous carbon charcoal. These people will get heart disease and colon cancer by the time they are 50 if they eat this garbage weekly. I try to only eat bbq once a year because it's so bad for you. and if you only eat it once a year you appreciate it more when you have it.
I visited Wildwood this week. These pictures make my mouth water. Too bad they don't show the lamb ribs, which were incredible.

You sound like a really boring person.

Why so many men?
Is this BBQ a gay thing?

Everybody knows that hitler had vegetarian tendencies.
I'd be very interested to get statistics on the bmi of these customers. It should show that the average is way over weight and could do with some serious dieting.

Does anyone else notice that one guy's hand is on fire and the other guy's head is on fire?
Hitler was a vegetarian.
