Wow, thanks everyone! My girlfriend and I are completely looking forward to this. A special thanks to Kathryn for your thoughtful/comprehensive reply.
Big Apple BBQ Suggestions
Hello All,
I'm a (relatively) new transplant to NYC. I wasn't here for last year's Big Apple BBQ, but am soo looking forward to it. If you attended last year and had a particularly good offering from one of the pitmasters, please share. I hear the lines can be crazy, so I'm trying to triage/limit my choices to the handful of pitmasters that have delivered consistently great food!
Thanks!
Jorge

I went to El Maguey y La Tuna and had the Pancita. It's not that different than menudo; they add garbanzos instead of hominy (not that Menudo is traditionally served with hominy, but its much more common than garbanzos). Its a Puebla thing. I enjoyed it!

I read about El Maguey y La Tuna on E. Houston. Haven't tried it yet. I'll probably go this weekend to try out the Pozole. They offer a tripe soup called "Pancita" which may be Menudo-like.
Truth be told, I've resorted to Juanita's canned menudito and doctored it up with lots of lime, some of grandma's chile de polvo, and tons of chopped onions and cilantro.
