I’m just crazy about barbecue, no matter how you spell it… BBQ, barbeque, barbecue, BBCue, BBque. Lay it before me and it will get devoured. I love grilled meats, whether glazed or in its virgin state. There’s something about a smoky taste that gets me all tickled –probably because it’s the closest thing to tasting fire. And I’m a water sign. Riiiiiiiiiight. Wow, deep or deeply unintelligent? Haha, moving on to the meat of the matter!
Bubba has been inviting me to have dinner at ‘Cue but I’ve been deferring it trying to be a pure “homebody” these past months (I’m also too tired or spent at work, I don’t feel like driving anywhere else). Finally, a month ago, I visited ‘Cue at the newly opened Bonifacio High Street Central with other foodie friends. Enter that bright red door to a modern style bistro with the cutest droplights slash industrial chandelier.
At ‘Cue, they just don’t barbecue and dish out comfort dishes. They toss heritage cooking with being inventive and original. They select only quality cuts of meat. They bathe and rub these meats with their house blend of rubs, marinades, or sauces. After the selection and marinade, these meats are slow-roasted, char-grilled, or ale-braised right before serving it on a plate that’s delivered to your table.
There are no rules here. You can mix and match the different dishes or the marinades or rubs. Take your cue, every pun intended, from ‘Cue’s range of house made sides, sauces, and toppings and enjoy Southern food at its best right here in Manila.
