"Put Some South in Yo' Mouth"

Hope you are all off to a good week. I am one happy girl - my Huskies won the Big East title over the weekend! A great way to kick off March Madness. Last Friday night Teddy and I went to Brother Jimmy's in Union Square for some good ol' BBQ and to watch the semi-final game, Connecticut vs. Syracuse. This Manhattan chain is known for being crowded, loud and a little "fratty" and that for me is the perfect atmosphere to watch a big game.

My favorite part of the menu is the beginnings....

I can't pass up an order of "Frickles" - fried dill pickles!

"People are going to think you are a tourist."

Let them think whatever they want, Teddy. That pulled pork smothered in sauce is a key element of this recap. Yum, it never disappoints!

I used to frequent the Brother Jimmy's in Murray Hill for drinks when I lived in the city after college - a popular "go to" in the area. To this day there is always a good chance I'll run into someone I know there. I have since expanded my horizons, but still think it's a great place to bring someone from out-of-town. Here I am with my friend Allie when she traveled down from Boston over the winter.

Time to stop dreaming of BBQ and get to work on my tourny bracket. Cheers!
