New York City — Since 2019
Slow-smoked brisket, pulled pork, and burnt ends served off a 1972 Grumman truck. No fixed address. No apologies.

Our Story
Marcus Webb spent three years burning through offsets in his Flatbush driveway before he got the smoke right. In 2019 he loaded the rig onto a converted Grumman bread truck and hit the streets.
The rules haven't changed: post oak only, twelve-hour minimum on the brisket, no sauce on the meat before it leaves the window. We let the bark do the talking. If you want it sauced, the bottles are on the ledge.
Post oak only. Twelve-hour minimum. No sauce before the window.
From the Truck
The Regulars
I drove from Jersey. Worth it. The burnt ends alone are worth a cross-river trip. Get there early or they're gone.
We hired The Heatwave for our company's summer event. Three hundred people. The truck ran clean, the line moved fast, and every plate went out hot.
Best brisket in New York. And I'm from Texas. That's not something I say lightly.

Yes. We run about forty portions of burnt ends daily. Once they're gone, they're gone. Show up before 12:30 if burnt ends are the mission.
Absolutely. We do private events, corporate catering, block parties, and pop-ups. Minimum 50 guests for a private booking. Email us or use the form below.
Our sides (slaw, baked beans, mac, cornbread) are vegetarian. We don't currently run a dedicated vegan protein — this is a barbecue truck, and we're honest about it.
We roll Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Staten Island on a case-by-case basis for private events. Permit permitting.
