Pork Slope in Brooklyn!

We stopped by Pork Slope prior to seeing a Sarah Silverman Show.  Pork Slope is from Dale Talde of Top Chef - the concept is Americanana bar food and features a great beer list.  I've heard rave reviews about Pork Slope and this was a great opportunity to try some of Dale Talde's food:

Porky Melt: pork patties with caramelized onions and cheese - this was ridiculously good, the whole thing kinda melts in your mouth when you take a bite. I was eating this with some of the house-made bbq sauce - really fantastic.  I'd come back repeatedly for this sandwich alone, it is awesome - the price is pretty affordable too, always a bonus.

Cheeseburger: get this only if you absolutely need to have a cheeseburger instead of the porky melt for whatever reason. The burger, while it tasted okay, is about as average as you can get and should really be $2 cheaper

St Louis Ribs - pretty good, had a nice spice rub that went well with their BBQ sauce

Tater Tots with Chili - good for what it is

Potato Salad: not great - this reminded me of those economy-size tubs of potato salad that you can get at the supermarket

One BIG hit and a few misses - next time I'll have to try the shrimp po boy (and definitely the porky melt again)
