Went to Virgil's again in NYC
Just got home a little while ago... Went to NYC tonight see the big Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center and walk around Times Square with my wife. We ended up eating a very late dinner at Virgil's BBQ on 44th St. in Times Square as it was in walking distance. I have been there before, she had not.
The entire city was mobbed but we managed to get to Virgil's at 10:15PM and had only a 20 minute wait. We had BBQ nachos, Kansas City Fried Chicken, Memphis Spareribs (dry) and Brisket with a few side dishes. Food was consistent with my last visit a few months ago with some co-workers.. Nothing exceptional, but it wasn't bad for BBQ in the middle of NYC.. I really like their sweet Tea and Mac & Cheese though.....

Sorry Plowboy, but those were Pace Picante commercials, which, ironically enough, is probably owned by someone in NY City. Mr Pace sold out years ago. Met him once, very nice guy, carried around cases of the small jars of Pace picante sauce to hand out. I think he died about 5 years ago.

I've had some darned good BBQ in NYC. Daisy Mays is fantastic and the Brethren Bash at R.U.B. this week was tasty, too.

Joe - I've never seen it served cold anywhere.. Virgil's served little elbow shaped pasta with a fairly sharp cheddar cheese used. It's real cheese as it's melted on top while being served in a very small casserole cup. Real, fresh prepared mac & cheese it's usually good anywhere. But if it's powdered crap or some liquid cheese sauce like Velveeta, I never like it.
