Fette Sau

...is located in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn at 354 Metropolitan Avenue and is revered for their bbq. It's a good thing there was a pink "Fette Sau" neon sign above the industrial metal gate opening or else it would be very difficult to find this restaurant. Walk through the gates, past the weathered picnic tables and into the industrial looking (was this once a car mechanic's garage??) space.

Walk up to the glass case and select your meat and sides (some meats are not offered on a regular basis so you may want to call ahead to check). Then move down to the counter to order your beverage and dessert. You have to go to the bar to order beer.

Your food is served on a full size cake sheet covered with white butcher paper. It's up to you to decide if you want to use a paper plate and utensils.

Communal picnic tables and a handful of bar seats are prime real estate once this place becomes crowded which it did quickly the weeknight of our visit.

Four sauces in squeeze bottles and rolls of paper towels grace each table.

"M" and I shared the following:

- Berkshire Pork Belly ($4-1/4 lb)

- Berkshire Pork Ribs ($4 - 1/4 lb)

- Beef Brisket ($4 - 1/4 lb)

- Boneless Beef Ribs ($4 - 1/4lb)

- Dante's German potato salad ($3 - small)

- Cora's Broccoli salad ($3.50 - small)

- Bacon Brownie ($5)

Everything was good, but the standouts were the pork belly (charred fat!) and brisket both melt in your mouth and flavorful. The potato salad was very good, but we were disappoinited with the bacon brownie. It was a good regular brownie, but we really couldn't taste the bacon (besides the whole piece that decorated the top).
