BBQ the new burger?

About a year or so ago there were burger joints springing up everywhere.  Although, half of them are gone now, there seemed to be a big trend in the neighborhood involving this American classic.  We blogged about the possibility that seafood was the new big trend.  Kittery on Smith and Brooklyn Crab are merely a couple of the "crab shack" inspired restaurants opening or recently opened in the borough.  Well, we have a runner up.  It's BBQ!  Fort Reno leads the pack as others, such as Fletcher's Brooklyn BBQ and Dinosaur will follow.  The newest we discovered is coming to 445 Van Brunt and Beard.  Not sure of the name yet, we just know it's a barbecue bar and restaurant.  The chance all of them will last doesn't seem likely but for now...bring on the smoked meats and sticky sauces!
