Danny Meyer's Blue Smoke serves mouthwatering authentic pit barbecue using prime meats, fowl and fish, accompanied by farm-fresh seasonal vegetable side dishes and soulful home-style cakes and pies. This classy barbecue joint has a cool jazz club downstairs to boot. The buffalo wings are unique as Chef Kenny Callaghan brines them for hours, rubs them with a proprietary spice mix, marinates them overnight, smokes them over applewood, then fries and tosses them in a delicately sweet chipotle barbecue sauce. Specialties include the mac and cheese, Memphis-style baby back ribs and pulled pork sandwich.
