    Barbecue

    A backyard pit built to exacting standards fuels this modest, color-filled room where brisket emerges impossibly tender and dark, its surface crackling with smoke and char. House-made sausages, ribs, and a chipotle-spiked slaw complement the beef; mac and cheese rounds out a menu shaped by restraint and respect for the meat.
