1. Pinkerton's Barbecue

    Barbecue

    Grant Pinkerton's low-slung smokehouse trades in beef ribs that vanish by noon and brisket so yielding it needs nothing beyond its own rendered fat, though the sweet-vegetable glaze on the St. Louis ribs suggests he disagrees. The mounted deer heads lining the walls are a hunter's trophy room aesthetic; the meat is the real prize.
