This locals' fave is powered by Neil McClure's passion for slow-cooked meat and careful attention to detail. McClure's Barbecue dates to 2011 as a pop-up at Dante's Kitchen, opening its permanent uptown location in 2013. One of the best things about McClure's is the option to slather your smoky meat with various different regional sauces, from North Carolina vinegar-style, to sweet Kansas City sauce and the mayo-informed white Alabama sauce that goes divinely with pork. The brisket cheesesteak is another winner, not a Philly original but a beast all its own worth discovering. The double pork and beans and the smoky collards are great sides to try.
