A New BBQ Contender: Smokin' Wolf, East Hampton, NY

On the East End of Long Island our BBQ choice is always Town Line. We would never have strayed without our friends from Groupon. Tempted by a $60 offer for $30 at Smokin' Wolf in East Hampton, I bought the voucher and waited for an excuse to go.  

As we passed Town Line en route, JB almost turned into the parking lot. Just a few miles further was half-price BBQ. Granted on a Saturday in the summer, a few miles is more than just a few minutes. And Big Z was getting hungry. 

Luckily, similar to TownLine, Smokin Wolf is counter service. You can eat inside, but we chose the picnic tables along Montauk Highway instead. 

You would think that $60 would go a long way for lunch - not so in the Hamptons. 

JB and I chose a 5 meat platter for $32 to sample as much as possible. And sample we did. Ribs, brisket, sausage, chicken,  pulled pork and corn bread soon arrived on this sprawling platter: 

Sometimes ordering a platter like this is a mistake.  Each meat can easily lose it's uniqueness - but not here. The platter was big enough that the flavors were easy to isolate. It's tough to rank favorites  except when it comes to ribs. Ribs always win. After ribs, I'd rank the brisket, sausage and pulled pork the same. Poor chicken always gets last place in BBQ. But really everything was good. Not as good as Townline though.

I did prefer the Smokin' Wolf mac and cheese though. And the boys did love their burgers and fries. 

As a bonus, they have homemade pies and huge cookies, plus ice cream. 

Readers, we have a new BBQ contender in the ring. 

Until our next Berger,
