Fatty - Definitely, Awesome - Not So Much


Friday night I went out to dinner with a friend who was in town and always picks a new trendy restaurant (the only exception to this is Peter Luger's which is awesome). The place we went to this time was Fatty 'Cue in Brooklyn.

We ordered a good portion of their menu as there were 4 of us and we probably ordered about 6 dishes. Unfortunately they were not spectacular which left me with the feeling it was overpriced - they have Manhattan prices in Brooklyn. If the food were exceptional I wouldn't have minded so much. Some of the dishes were ordered was the bacon appetizer (no comparison to Peter Luger's bacon
around the corner) the ribs, rabbit shoulder, and duck. Of those dishes my favorite was probably the duck, it had a great crispiness to it and had just the right amount of salt. The buns were a delicious accompaniment to the brisket, but the brisket was unfortunately underwhelming. The restaurant tried something interesting with asian influenced bar-b-que, but ultimately was uninspiring.
