Pete Wells Awards Two Stars to Mighty Quinn's in the East Village

By Kelly Dobkin

Pete Wells of the NY Times has awarded his usual two stars to Mighty Quinn's Barbeque in the East Village. He declares that of the three new barbecue joints to open recently (Fletcher's and BrisketTown among them) that Mighty Quinn's may be the best new entry. He raves about the pulled pork:  "The pulled pork is the only one in town that doesn’t make you embarrassed for New York. It is staggeringly good. The inside meat is slick with the flavor of old-school pork butt; the black, chewy outer rind looks as if it fell into the fire. Don’t be fooled, though; the flavor of smoke and sweet fat is most concentrated there." Read the full review here.
