Smokin Al's Bbq

Some buddies and I decided to go to a BBQ spot where I've heard the food is delicious. We went to Smokin Al's in bayshore, although there is also one in Massapequa.

My friend ordered their Mac n' cheese which he said that is what he came there for. Too bad I didn't get a chance to try it, oh well.

I ordered the beef brisket sandwhich and substituted for the sweet potato fries. They give a lot on their plates and most go home with a doggy bag. This wasn't the case here. The brisket was tender and the bbq sauce was flavorful. Their sour crout with the vinegar was superb, and their sweet potato fries were unreal. They coated the fries with a little cinnamon but it wasn't overwhelming with sweet, it was just right.

If you're looking for a great local bbq place in Long Island/New York area, the food is worth the trip. Check out Smokin Al's in Bayshore or Massapequa.

Scallops with "Indonesian" spices

I went back to Wild Ginger for lunch. They have some really good lunch deals, and a decent variety of choices.

I havent had scallops in a long while, so thats what I decided to order.

It was the Somal Scallops with Indonesian spices. The meal came with either soup or salad, so I ordered the salad with it.

The flavors were very tasty with a bit of heat from the spices. For lunch, the whole meal was around 11 bucks. Not too bad for lunch at all. I recomment the dish, especially if you dig scallops.
