After getting the Rhett and Link BBQ Song stuck in my head, I crossed state lines to get some barbecue ... in New York, at JB's, the place that used to be drive-in-only on Lake Avenue Extension in Danbury. For the last couple of years, it has been located in the inconspicuous Border Plaza on Route 6 in Brewster where the menu has been expanded and there is a spacious dining room for eating in. Pictured above is my combo dinner of fried whiting and pulled pork, along with collard greens and macaroni & cheese. I'm not saying this is four-star soul food (the mac & cheese was awfully sweet, the pork supersauced, the greens not piggy enough); but it scratched the itch until I next go south (or north, to Syracuse). And the sweet tea, while 25 cents more than McDonald's, was at least twice as sweet!
