Whew, the Team here at Diners.org hoped all of you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. It was sunny and warm here in NYC and we hoped the men and women in uniform who visited NYC as part of Fleet Week enjoyed the occasion as much as we did.
With that said, right before Memorial Day a few of us from the Diners.org team was invited to a baby shower. Being guys, we went and got the only thing we couldn’t mess up as a baby shower present: food.
What we brought to the baby shower (and to the delight of the attendees) are chocolate chip bacon cookies from Rubb BBQ.
(It’s kinda odd on how nearly every awesome food we talk about involves bacon. I guess it means we need to broaden our horizons. To new eating places!)
Anyway, Rubb BBQ is located in mid-Manhattan within walking distance of the F, 1, C, and E lines.
"Righteous"
The restaurant is fairly small, definitely not like your Denny’s or Applebee’s, or TGIF Fridays. It can still fit a good amount of people, but be careful this place is packed on the weekends. They do takeout and you can call in your order over the phone to be picked up.
Which is what we did as in order to pick up our delicious desert in time for the party. As we enter the restaurant we couldn’t help but notice the amusing chalkboards outside.
If you don't get the joke, you're too young to understand
And also this:
This one is more PG friendly.
The cookies come in batches of four cookies per order and cost $5.85. Quite a bit but the taste is worth the price.
Here’s what the cookies looked like:

They’re big, chewy, and both sweet & sour to the taste. They were a big hit at the baby shower and were quickly devoured soon after we arrived. We would like to say that the rest of Rubb BBQ’s menu is as awesome as their cookies but that would have to wait for a more “proper” visit to their restaurant.
