Permission for Licking.

Licking your fingers that is!

Daisy Mays BBQ on the West Side serves up some finger lickin' good food.

They have been voted #1 BBQ in NYC by Zagat Survey four consecutive years in a row from 2005. I decided to visit the joint after seeing it featured on the Food Network's new show "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" ... Seriously, would you just look at the size of that thing? It's Fred Flintstone's dog, Dino, on a plate.(no offense PETA)

For a whopping $21.50, one can get a "Oklahoma Jumbo Beef Rib" which includes a choice of two "fixin's" of classic BBQ fare: baked beans, corn bread, creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, dirty rice, sweet potatoes, bourbon peaches, collard greens, mac & cheese, or cole slaw.

Before I ordered, I asked the cashier girl if she thought I could finish the whole rib. She laughed at me and said, "nooooo I'd love to see that though" I thought, no big deal right? Until I saw the size of this rib! It was sheer gluttony!
I settled on the "Cajun Dirty Rice & Beans" and "Collard Greens"

drumroll please.....

This marked my first time ever having collard greens. They were sooooo incredibly good. It's my new favorite veggie.

The eatery also serves sweet tea in cute lil' glass jars, just to complete that southern BBQ experience. As well as Red Velvet Cupcakes & Frozen Custard for dessert.

Daisy Mays is located on 623 11th Ave (corner of 46th st.)

and get this: they deliver anywhere in Manhattan.
