Who: Carnal-BK
Where: Smorgasburg,
Saturday, 90 Kent Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 11AM – 6PM
Sunday, Breeze Hill in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, 11AM – 6PM
How: Beef ribs are slow cooked for hours, finished on the grill, brushed with rendered, bone marrow fat, then finished with a relish made from raw snap peas, arugula, horseradish, herb oil and lime.
Why: This is, without a doubt, the best food item at Smorgasburg. Most of the food at Smorgasburg is fantastic, but some of the items relies on its instagrammable nature to drive sales and long lines. Carnal pushes past this and makes an amazing product that takes hours on end to produce.
Carnal has created a transcendental experience with it’s short rib. Get in line early and grab one before the queue wraps around the flea market adjacent to Smorgasburg.
Pro-Tip: Follow up this with a scoop of Turkish Coffee ice cream from Malai.
