John Brown You might not have seen John Brown Smokehouse during your weekend jaunts through LIC, as it’s a touch off the beaten path on 44th Drive off of 11th Street. But the extra block or two is worth the walk for the mind-blowing food and gorgeous back garden you’ll find there. John Brown isn’t fancy, but everything it lacks in ambience goes right back into the food. It’s Kansas City-style barbecue the way it should be — real people making real food they really love, and nothing more. Stop in for a bite of before heading out on the East River Ferry, or tie up your horse and stay for an afternoon. The staff is nothing if not welcoming. Everyone goes for the ribs, but leaves raving about the burnt ends. Photos: Bridget Kenny/BORO SEPTEMBER 2016 I BOROMAG.COM I 53
