Puckett’s

No meal is more Southern than a meat and three.  Unless it’s a grilled bologna sandwich.  Thankfully, at Puckett’s, you can get both.

BowTie Barbecue

Burnside Biscuits

I was saving this review because I had submitted it for a Time Out New York food critic competition.  But since I haven’t heard back from them, I’m guessing I lost (now is the time to shout “she was robbed!”) so I’m sharing my review with all of y’all: We Southerners living in NYC guard…
