    New-School Barbecue

    Damien Brockway's barbecue truck at Meanwhile Brewing smokes meat with African diaspora inflections—pecan-wood chicken, a red-pepper sausage with precision seasoning, and a standout bird dressed in chile vinegar butter. Nose-to-tail discipline meets inventive sides: burnt ends with black-eyed peas, spice-rubbed peanuts. This is contemporary barbecue with conviction.
