I was in Manhattan this afternoon for a doctor appointment uptown on 98th & Madison at Mt Sinai. After the appointment, I decided to walk part of the way back to Penn Station for the train on 33rd & 7th to cut down on the taxi cost ( I hate the subways).
It was a nice day so after I passed Central Park, instead of catching a taxi cab to Penn Station, I challenged myself to walk all the way to RUB BBQ for dinner... No small feat considering it's about 6 miles away, it's 5PM and the streets of NYC are insane as everyone is just getting out of work.The total walk took 1.5 hrs but I made it... I considered stopping at Virgil's BBQ in midtown but knew the quality at RUB was worth the effort to complete the walk.
For my efforts, I treated myself to a bowl of chili & brisket sandwich on white bread and a sweet tea.. After meal was done I then walked 10 more blocks back to Penn to catch the train. My feet hurt !!!!
Chili was excellent... Tons of smoky brisket, good flavor broth.. There are two types beans in the chili... I did find it a bit salty but not enough to make me dislike it as all the other components were excellent. Brisket sandwich was top notch.. As good as my visit last month.. Very moist, very flavorful, perfect smoke etc.
I thought I was going to see Matt (backyardchef) but I did not see him and when I asked for him, the hostess seemed a bit odd in her response so I did not pursue again.
Sorry for the poor pics.. taken with my outdated camera phone.
