So, every Sunday, at 11:30 a.m. I'd call in my order to BBQ St. Mark's - always the same order of a chicken (cut-up), cole slaw and corn bread - pick it up at noon and then bring it down to the Lower East Side where she lived. This went on for a couple of years. About a year after she died, my new beau and I decided to do take-out from them. I called it in and right after I said, "Hi, I'd like to order, I'll pick-up", the gentleman on the other end of the line said, "Hey! Where've you been?"<br /><br />My new beau/now husband and I live on a modest budget - but one of our treats is to share the beef ribs platter, extra cole slaw and crispy shrimp. Heartbroken they are closing. We will be order our favorite meal soon. To all the wonderful people of BBQ, thank you for such deliciousness all these decades.
