Concrete Eats – Episode 53: Hometown Bar-B-Que

For Episode 53, we head to Red Hook to visit one of New York’s most legendary smokehouses: Hometown Bar-B-Que. Known for its oak-smoked brisket, massive beef ribs, and fusion-style specialties, Hometown brings true Southern pit-style barbecue to the Brooklyn waterfront.

Jairo and Mel dive into the classics—juicy brisket with a perfect bark, fall-apart ribs, and those signature sides that make a tray hit even harder. Along the way, they talk about Hometown’s rise as a NYC BBQ icon, the laid-back warehouse vibe, and why the Red Hook location adds to the entire experience.

Whether you’re a barbecue purist or just looking for some seriously unforgettable smoked meat, this episode has you covered. Fire up the appetite—Concrete Eats is back in the smoke.
