On a recent trip to St. Louis, I overdid it on the barbecue. 

It was a good thing, of course. But now that I’m back home in New York City and craving some of the best of what’s around, I’ll default to the 'cue wizards at Salt + Smoke – a barbecue joint which doles out eats in five locations around St. Louis. One location in Ballpark Village, boasts incredible views of Busch Stadium on their patio. 

"You no longer have to decide between mouthwatering smoked meats and crispy, crunchy fried food as Salt + Smoke went ahead and used both cooking methods here," says Salt + Smoke’s Chef and Pitmaster Haley Riley, who calls this recipe a decadent, smoky, spicy, rich, salty, sticky, sweet plate of perfection.
