We're enjoying slipping into Sweet Cheeks Q for lunch. If you're one of the fortunate few who has today as a holiday, add to the fun with lunch at this new spot in the Fenway. It could make your day.
Our latest shared tray was Great Northern Brisket with a cold scoop of potato salad and a hot scoop of broccoli cheese casserole. The usual pile of onions, pickles, and white bread rounded out the meal.
We admit that we are not experts in BBQ. We're New Englanders through-and-through and haven't experienced the many styles of smoked, slow-cooked meat that the experts love to discuss. We do, however, love great food and this tray falls squarely within our guidelines for delicious.
If you're from brisket country or have very set expectations for a serving of smoked beef, you should read the discussions over on Chowhound's Boston board about this offering. You'll also learn more about the other menu items people had, what they loved, and what they didn't.
But, if you just want to try some good food and prefer carefully-sourced high-quality, full-flavored BBQ meat, you can head to Boyston Street and enjoy this brisket.
