REVIEW'D: Fort Reno Provisions

For a while now, there's been absolutely zip in terms of true BBQ here in Park Slope. The closest option? Smoke Joint up in Fort Greene. As of today, shit done changed.

As we reported this past Friday, Union Street's getting not one but two BBQ joints—Fort Reno Provisions & Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. While Dinosaur Bar-B-Que & their four NY locales are already well known, Fort Reno is a brand new joint from Jacques Gautier, the owner & chef of Palo Santo, Lia Foreman of Colicchio & Sons and Anthony Laudato.

The owners of Palo Santo, one of my favorite off-the-beaten-path brunch spots, are opening a new joint next week called Fort Reno Provisions, which will be located at 669 Union (at 4th Avenue). According to NY Eater, they'll sell whole hog pulled pork, brisket, ribs, and other specialties by the pound. All meat will come from Heritage Foods.

REVIEW'D: TALDE

Oh my gawd. 

It's 9am the following morning AFTER the amazing Friends-n-Family opening we were invited to last night at Talde, and I'm still full. But I'm not full in a "I feel like I'm gonna barf, let me erase the experience of this meal" sort of way...more in a "the last food I consumed was so mind blowingly delicious, how the fuck am I supposed to follow that up with an egg?" sort of way. It's like my stomach is *not* quite ready to move on.

In a word, Talde was resplendent. You should seriously go there immediately, and see for yourself.

Word has come from the Talde folks that they will be soft opening THIS Sunday! And, BOOM: their final menu is above.

As you can see, there's gonna be some good shit to be eaten there. Most importantly, our long expressed dreams for Korean fried chicken in the nabe are f-i-n-a-l-l-y coming true.
