"Pitmaster Ruben Santana is one of several chefs helping to pioneer a Caribbean style of American barbecue. He started Bark Barbecue in his backyard during the pandemic and slowly expanded: He sold his meats from a street corner in Ozone Park, and later at the Smorgasburg food festival. He landed on the fifth floor of the Time Out Market in 2022, where he’s become known for Texas-style barbecue with Dominican sides, like chicharron and fried plantains." - Eater Staff
