StephanieL Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) Damn. Pearson's was great back in the day, and having to search for it in the back of a bar was kind of fun.. Edited July 15 by StephanieL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Yes, memories of this. Wasn’t there more than one location at one point? I remember the back of the bar one, and it was a bar that was not itself a destination. But an attempt in Manhattan too? I am having strong memories of taking my little daughter there with her Dominican family after a Martha Graham kiddies performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Looks like East 181st, up from the Martha Graham school. Just my memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and his partner had a place in Manhattan that closed after a fire. After it re-opened, his partner ran the Manhattan location until it closed. He also briefly sold his food to the Rodeo Bar.

Wilfrid Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Really, Rodeo Bar down on 3rd?. I used to go there when I lived in the neighborhood and I remember the bottomless free peanuts. Shells everywhere on the floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinky Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) Pearson “Pearson’s was a place of great import to the community,” said Matt Fisher, who worked the pit at renowned New York barbecue joints like Rub, Fletcher’s and Dinosaur. “It was elusive, remote, small, and all that added to its gravitas.” Edited July 17 by splinky 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve R. Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I remember going to Pearson’s in LIC when it was down a long driveway and had outdoor picnic tables to eat your food. Is that right? Years later, I know Fette Sau would fit that decription - am I mixing my memories? And, speaking of memories, I think I remember that Matt Fisher guy as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I don't know that one. I remember the one behind Legend's Sports Bar (had to look up the name). Very good beef ribs on my first visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve R. Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 It was a bit before him being at Legends -- several years before. Ancient history. Matt would know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick to your Ribs was the name from Connecticut to Manhattan and the Legends/Pearson's period was the last location that he had and it eventually became Ranger Barbecue and then Alchemy and ultimately Mothership under different owners.
