One of the food back logs that I found in my old laptop is the food photos from my first visit at Mighty McQuinn's restaurant in SM Megamall. Its an American bbq restaurant that opened late last year and it was such a buzz because it offers true American bbq style.
Mighty McQuinn's is famous for its slow smoked barbeque, its an old way of cooking your barbeque over a fire wood's smoke. Here in the Philippines we love everything that is friend and grilled, thats why the slow smoked barbeque of Mighty McQuinn's is accepted so easily and embraced by pinoy foodies. Malaman, makarne and masarap! pwedeng pwede!
Mighty McQuinn's is located at the restaurant level of the Mega Fashion Hall of SM Megamall
Here I learn that they use maple bark as their fire wood for the slow smoked pig's meat. The slow smoke process releases a lot of flavor of the meat and also maintains its juicy and tasty kind.
And oh, the meat is treated with spices and special recipe of Mighty McQuinn;s that's why their barbeque is so soft and good.
With Hugh Mangun, co founder and pit master of Mighty Quinn's
This guy opened a bbq joint in his driveway in NYC, with no resto background, then created Mighty Quinn's and got lucky to be featured at NY times and received a 2.5 food review rating, then after the resto success, they now open a branch here at SM Megamall
Here's the menu of Mighty McQuinn's
The funny thing is that there are no waiters or waitresses inside the restaurant. The Mighty Quinn's is a self service resto, where you line up, choose your order and then pay it at the counter, then you carry the tray with you and seat anywhere inside the resto.
At the counter, you can see how your food is being prepared. They cut the meat infront of you, place it in your plate and you get to choose any of their side dishes for your platter of BBQ.
Here I ordered the Brontosaurus rib. Its their biggest slow smoked bbq meat ever in the menu.
I will talk about later below about my order.
You get to choose to any kinds of side dishes. You can get all of it if you want, each side dishes comes a price, so take note!
Now they prepare my brontosaurus

They call it the Brontosaurus rib because the bbq rib meat is like a piece of meat of dinosaur.

Its big..and scary! ahhahaha
I ate one and I didn't get to finish the other side of the rib. I just felt happy after devouring the half, and then left me sad because I can't finish it all.
Glad that I took this home with me.

Im not a fan of side dishes, they are good here at Mighty McQuinn's, but the best pair to my giant bbq is a hot and tasty dirty rice.
They call it dirty rice, because its not an ordinary rice. The dirty rice is added with some spices and herbs to add more flavor to your meal. Ok din at masarap.
