I had a fantastic lunch at Wildwood BBQ with a few associates last week. Besides the pulled pork and braised beef brisket that is protocol at these NYCBBQ establishments these days, I had a delicious finger food starter that set this smoke shop apart from the rest.
Bottle caps. Bottle caps should be at more restaurants in New York. They should be freebies at BBQ joints in my humble opinion…They are my new favorite.
Bottle caps are slivers of (I think) canned jalapeño peppers that get breaded and deep-fried. The result is little saucers of crispy fried dough encasing a spicy button of punchy surprise. At Wildwood, they get served with a ranch dressing for cooling off your mouth. I went the route of feverishly continuing to pop them though, which I recommend. Next time you go, ask for at least one order for the table. These buggers are so tasty though; you’ll need more. See if you can eat just one.
