Yesterday's Times Dining piece about the ex Daniel/Mozu chef who opened up the Hell's Kitchen BBQ joint, Daisy May's USA BBQ (623 Eleventh Avenue, at 46th Street, 212-977-1500), makes us wonder if there's a movement by swank restaurant chefs to specialize in approachable foods and sell in approachable settings (storefront, van off the highway). Maybe all the good spaces on Smith Street, Fifth Avenue (Park Slope), and Lafeyette have been taken. Or maybe it's more fulfilling to feed the masses than in overly precious settings. Either way, Gothamist will take it, especially Adam Perry Lang's "irresistibly lush and smoky beef short ribs, chicken that is moist with a little kick, succulent Kansas City-style ribs and chunky pulled pork" at Daisy May's. Time for a food field trip.
