Brooklyn BBQ - Check it out on Twitter

Nice butcher paper.

I bet that plate costs $50 and hipsters will line up for blocks just to lick the empty trays

You can really tell by the melt on twitter the number of people who didn't actually read the article. Instead they looked at a photo and freaked out.

So you wouldn't try any of the places listed? That's a bit ridiculous.

I feel like that picture was posted to troll people and generate buzz with that said, Hometown bbq in Brooklyn is ridiculously good.

I saw that post right when it happened, and had no clue it would get that kind of viral reaction.

If you read any comments you might have seen mine, which dealt with New York automatically thinking anything they're doing is the best/coolest/most desirable, which couldn't be further from the truth.

article was more about decor and doing things without an inherent local tradition.

That being said though, it is still a very much "New York is doing it so clearly everyone else must be copying it", which isn't true.
