After a grueling four days of orientation (roughly 32 hours of lectures and tours) my friend Ilana and I headed down to New York City to eat some delicious food, and walk off that which was previously consumed throughout the course of my first week at The Culinary. I was informed prior that traveling to the city after your first week at The Culinary is somewhat of a tradition among friends, and I definitely didn't want any kind of bad juju right off the bat.
We started the day by taking the train from Poughkeepsie to Grand Central, then catching another into Brooklyn. At this point it was around noon and neither Ilana or I hadn't eaten anything. Needless to say we were both starving. Which is probably what fueled our purchase of over a pound and a half of food from Fette Sau BBQ.
Pork belly, ribs, BBQ baked beans with pork, dinner rolls, and half sweet pickles.
Fette Sau's main dinning room wall depicts the various cuts derived from the livestock served at the restaurant. An interesting factor in the Fette Sau experience, you actually order all your food by the weight opposed to ordering à la Carte. Which is fitting because the entire restaurant has a somewhat butcher shop/rustic tavern vide going on which includes wooden picnic tables, dim or natural lighting, and an exposed brick interior. Also for all the drinkers out there, Fette Sau has one of the biggest selections of American whiskeys in New York and also features a substantial list of other liqueurs and beers.
If you like dry rub BBQ, and I mean who doesn't like dry rub BBQ, then you definitely should check out Fette Sau's BBQ in Brooklyn the next time you're there.

I'm sold! I'd love to eat there someday.
