MIGHTY QUINN'S BARBEQUE CROSSES THE HUDSON RIVER AND BREAKS GROUND AT THE PROMENADE SHOPS AT CLIFTON Award-Winning Restaurant Fills Much-Desired Market

Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque, an award-winning NYC BBQ hot spot, will be breaking ground on a new location as part of The Promenade Shops at Clifton located on Route 3 in Clifton, NJ. This is the company’s first location in the New Jersey market and is expected to open in early 2014. Guests from Clifton and the surrounding area, will be able to enjoy Mighty Quinn’s menu of authentic slow-smoked barbeque, fantastic side dishes and a selection of American craft beers. Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque will be bringing a unique dining experience to the area that combines the convenience of a casual dining format with the comfort of communal dining tables all handcrafted out of reclaimed wood.

 

“I was born and raised in New Jersey so bringing our style of barbeque to this market is something that I’ve been looking forward to since opening our flagship location in the East Village last year,” said Christos Gourmos, Co-Founder of Mighty Quinn’s.

Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque is the merging of two great barbeque traditions: Texas and the Carolinas. The cooking process begins with the best, all-natural meats and poultry, seasoned with house-made spice blends and then smoked with wood for many hours to create the perfect harmony of smoke, flavor and time. The food is steeped in tradition but given new life.  Pit Master and Co-Founder, Hugh Mangum, who won the 2012 title of “Chopped Champion” on the Food Network TV show Chopped, began slow smoking and serving his style of barbeque in Brooklyn before the first Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque opened in Manhattan’s East Village. His menu offers all the best qualities of traditional barbeque with a modern updated assortment of side pairings.

 

About Mighty Quinn’s:

Mighty Quinn’s is the first authentic barbeque experience in a fast-casual setting and winner of the Zagat award for best new restaurant in New York. Its barbeque is the merging of two great barbecue traditions: Texas and the Carolinas. It brings together the best of both and creates something uniquely its own: Texalina Barbeque. The process begins with the best, all-natural meats and poultry, seasoned with perfect spice blends and then smoked with wood for many hours until the perfect harmony of smoke, flavor and time emerges. Fond memories of palette-altering meals and a deep admiration for the soul of real barbeque have led our Pit Master, Hugh Mangum, on a personal quest for slow-smoked perfection.

 

Mighty Quinn’s flagship restaurant is located in the East Village at 103 2nd Ave. and will open soon at The Promenade Shops at Clifton at 850 Route 3 in Clifton, NJ.
