Popular Smorgasburg vendor Mighty Quinn’s is bringing its barbecue to the Whole Foods at Houston & the Bowery starting today and lasting through Jan. 31 as part of the grocery store’s collaboration with the Brooklyn Flea. You’ll be able to get pulled pork shoulder, edamame and sweet pea salad, sweet potato casserole and a smoked turkey breast that will be exclusive to the Bowery location (there’s a brick and mortar shop in the East Village). It’s a bit outside of the traditional Downtown Lunch boundaries, but given the lack of good BBQ in these parts, it might be worth walking a few extra blocks. Photo courtesy of the Brooklyn Flea.
