Banana pudding, too, hits the spot, though barbecue is an investment, to be sure - in calories and, when it’s good, in time. Mile-high French silk and coconut cream pie slabs fly from the fridge, as do slices of her banana split cake, a take on the Atomic cake that’s famous in the Midwest. Not sure what his grandfather would say to that, but as for the desserts Chrisi Agostini’s cranking out, I feel confident he’d approve.Ĭo-owner Chrisi Agostini makes all of Briskets’ desserts - including this coconut cream pie - from scratch. “We also do an Alabama white sauce that I love,” he tells me. The ribs, my favorite of the lot, come in Texas-style dry or a la Kansas City, slathered in a house sauce that’s a little sweet, a little tangy and very enjoyable, with pickles scattered across the top of the tray. We tried the brisket, pulled pork and ribs on our visit. Which is as many as he’ll need with the crowds he’s amassing. Since going brick-and-mortar, though, the Agostinis have had time to dial in the vibe, renovating the shack, adding outside seats and growing their days of operation from three to five days a week. Years later, the birth of Agostini’s BBQ business and the Liberty Road BBQ trailer was an homage to his grandfather’s start here in America, though smoking meats was a passion he developed later in life. He worked there through middle and high school, evolving from dishwasher to line cook. Once settled, he opened the Liberty Bakery in Paterson, New Jersey.Īt age 12, Bob’s family moved to Miami to help other family members open an Italian restaurant. The elder Agostini saw the great Statue in the harbor, and it moved him. His father emigrated from Italy through Ellis Island and, after seeing the statue in the harbor, opened the Liberty Bakery in New Jersey. Ellis Island, all that.”īob’s Agostini’s dad, Louis Agostini, in the early ’70s. His father came here from Italy way back in the day. My stepdad is my dad - great guy - and his whole family was in the restaurant business.
“When I was a kid, my mom remarried,” he explains. Which is just how Agostini’s dad and granddad used to do it. In fact, everything from the meats - Briskets does leg quarters, too - to the sides (smoked mac & cheese, Bob’s country beans, slaw and a standout sweet potato casserole) and the desserts his wife makes are done from scratch. The pulled pork for the Sloppy Hog sandwich, or the basic platters, is yanked from bone to order. “The process takes days,” he says, noting they don’t use commercial smokers or gas ovens. The large hunks for pulled pork cook for up to 24. Pork spare ribs go low and slow for four and a half to seven. Texas-style brisket that spends between 20 and 30 hours in the smoker.
