Hometown BBQ Miami

Hard work is also the mantra of Hometown Barbecue founder Billy Durney, who constantly repeats, "Stay humble, stay focused, stay hungry." Durney opened in Allapattah an outpost of what's considered the best barbecue in New York City. Here, you'll find all of the Texas signatures, including butter-soft brisket with a deep-magenta smoke ring rippled with juicy fat. There are massive heavily marbled beef ribs alongside thick-cut bacon encrusted in a fiery jerk seasoning, as well as a refreshing coleslaw, rich-as-hell mac 'n' cheese, and jalapeño-studded corn pudding. The house-made cheddar jalapeño sausage is also worthy of attention thanks in no small part to the molten pockets of sharp cheese riddling each juicy link.
