Bottomless Grub: BBQ & Fette Sau
In the midst of pretentious breakfast spots and coffee shops in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a BBQ joint emerges from the ordinary.
Fette Sau, located on Metropolitan, has the hipster charm in its decor. You must walk through the outdoor picnic table seating and join the line to the "lunch counter." You order your meats by the pound, and they're piled onto a cafeteria tray lined with parchment.
Show up past 8:00p on a weekend and you'll wait for 30 minutes. You can admire the purposely dingy decor with hints of an old meatpacking warehouse. You can also order a mason jar of beer or a whiskey or bourbon with a nice, fat ice cube for the people like me who aren't 45 yet and need it watered down. This makes the wait go by faster, of course.
Anyway, the choices vary daily but the staples are the pork shoulder, brisket, pork belly, St. Louis-style ribs, Berkshire sausage and pastrami. I've been three times now and have been told that the cuts vary due to their meat purveyor. This kind of sucks as the pork belly has been noticeably different each time.
