What are we doing these days in Brooklyn? Eating to survive, and ending up at a good number of Southern-styled restaurants.
Biscuit-sized donuts at Pies 'N Thighs
Fried chicken, sausage, and biscuit at Pies 'N Thighs.
Donuts don't get any bigger than the ones at Pies 'N Thighs (they cut them with a biscuit ring). This leads to gargantuan size but not exactly an even fry (they get a little tough on the outside). The chef does have a deft hand with the sugar, however, and whatever other toppings and fillings he or she deigns to include.
We made stop at John Brown's BBQ in Long Island City for various meats and thick-sliced bread. Also on the dry side (New York you're killing me!) but a tasty treat nonetheless.
