Pulled Pork Showdown

As an avid Yankees fan dating a rabid Mets fan, I usually spend my summer evenings split evenly between Queens and the Bronx. I've already chowed on Danny Meyer's Blue Smoke Carolina pulled pork sandwich at Citi Field (left) but last night marked my first Yankee game so I ran around comparing all the various food options between the two. (You can read about our own comparison in the March/Arpil edition of Manhattan here.) Verdict: Citi Field definitely has the classier grub, but Yankee Stadium has Brother Jimmy's BBQ, offering a pretty competitive pulled pork sandwich to Blue Smoke's. The only difference is the sauce at Blue Smoke is a tad thicker and tangier, but Bro Jimmy's also sells sweet sides like mac 'n cheese, baked beans and fried pickles. As a baked beans lover, I declare this a tie. The only bummer? They post the damn calories. (800!)
