RUB
After Danny Meyer’s Blue Smoke broke the urban barbecue barrier (and there was one---it had to do with the amount of smoke true barbecue creates and strict environmental regulations), several BBQ joints opened up, including Rib, Dinosaur, Bone Lick, and RUB.
As a vegetarian, I can’t eat too much on the menu. Still, as someone who subsisted on hushpuppies for most of her first year of college, I’m always happy to just chomp on those perfect spheres of fried cornbread. And they are quite perfect here: bite-sized, spiced with pepper, even better dunked in spicy barbecue or ketchup (sacrilege in some southern circles, I know).
RUB stands for “Righteous Urban Barbecue.” Awkward name. Delicious hushpuppies.
