We’ve been waiting a long time for Fatty ‘Cue. “The idea for a Southeast Asiantinged BBQ spot struck Zak Pelaccio (Fatty Crab, Cabrito) and Robbie Richter (Hill Country) in 2005, when the two smoked a hog for a friend’s wedding—and in the process married Richter’s ‘cue savvy with Pelaccio’s love of Eastern flavors,” Time Out New York reported, back in the spring of ’09. As of last week, there was still tape on the windows, but we heard a rumor that there might be a friends-and-family opening party within the next week. Metromix says that Fatty ‘Cue “will not serve traditional sauce-meets-pork barbecue, but rather smoked meats paired with astringent and aromatic herbs like dried and fresh chiles, young ginger, and Vietnamese mint, finished with flaming sauces and lacquers… Two antique hickory smokers will be housed in an adjacent driveway, near heated outdoor seating.” GMAP
