Hill Country

REVIEW

CUISINE: Barbeque
NEIGHBORHOOD: Chelsea

 

30 West 26th Street Between Broadway and 6th Ave.

I recently started working in Chelsea, so you should expect an influx of restaurant reviews in the new hood. The first addition is Hill Country, a surprisingly awesome BBQ joint on 26th street. I've only been once, but I can tell this place will make it into my weekly rotation. It's cheap, easy, and delicious.CONT'D



The food is served cafeteria-style from two stations located in the back of the restaurant. The meat station offers Texas-style BBQ (brisket, ribs, chicken) served by the pound on brown butcher paper. Next door, the side-dish station offers an array of classic southern accompaniments like green been casserole, corn pudding, and hot German potatoes. Don't skimp on the cornbread. 

After retrieving your food, head to your table, which should be properly outfitted with a roll of paper towels and two different kinds of BBQ sauce. Unwrap your meat and dig in.  Though known for their special, dry-rubbed brisket, I thought the winning meat was the chicken.  The skin was crispy and sweet; the meat was moist with rich, smokey undertones. A close contender was the meaty pork spare rib, which was seasoned perfectly.  Pick it up with your hands and lick that bone clean! The sides won't disappoint, either, particularly the green been casserole and vinegar-spiked German potatoes. Mmm.  

And if you're not convinced, here are some more reasons to like Hill Country: Recession specials on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday offer ridiculous incentives like "All you can eat" and "Two for one."  A late night menu serves BBQ until 1 am, and the bar stays open until 2 am. The downstairs stages offers live performances, including a country karaoke night.  And, to top it all off, there's free wifi; just try to keep the BBQ sauce off your new iPad.

Agree that chicken is their best meat, however I found the brisket and ribs both dry and tough. I don't recommend the all-you-can-eat because you'll end up going straight for the chicken and discarding everything else.

You know what ... I sort of agree about the brisket. First time I had it, I really liked it (covered in BBQ sauce). But then when we went back I found that the brisket was lacking a lot of flavor and was a bit dry. I don't love the beef ribs, but I totally disagree on the pork ribs; they were out of this world!

OMG, so I have to admit that I hate blogs and I have great disdain for my wife's blog which in my oionipn crossed some serious lines of privacy, but I found your blog while I was looking for 89 landcruisers, which btw I just bought one for $500!!! Actually in pretty good condition too. Needs some TLC but that's why I bought her! Needless to say I started following your blog and I have to admit that If I lived closer Atlanta I would offer to meet up and buy you a drink immediately. It's uncanny how many things we like/have in common. Mcallan 12 drinker, pretty much every single thing you post on your wishlist is on mine as well. Anyways, starting to feel a little creepy and SWF'ish so I'll just leave at cheers to you, and maybe I'll email you some pics of my landcruiser as I restore her, she actually looks exactly like the one in your picture. Take care and keep the posts coming

I'm sure coding kdgelwnoe would be helpful, but this skill is one I do not possess. The following books so far have taken me to this blogging point: Blogging for Dummies Problogger , by Darren Rowse and Chris GarrettCurrently working my way through Using WordPress by Tris Hussey, there is plenty of free information online and WordPress has a tutorial, which you might find helpful. Books provide indices, which help me keep track and look up specific topics. Good Luck!

The U.S. Appeals Court in Manhattan ruled today that Louboutin’s red sole is entitled to limited trademark protection, extending only to a red lacquered outer sole that contrasts with the color of the rest of the shoe and not to shoes that are monochromatically red. The judges affirmed the lower court’s denial of the injunction against Yves Saint Laurent and sent the case back to the trial judge. cheap christian louboutin shoes http://christianlouboutinshoesb.webs.com/
