Food & Wine just announced their picks for the Best Barbecue in Every State and (once again) named Ridgefield’s Hoodoo Brown top BBQ in the Nutmeg state!
Here’s what writer David Landsel said:
“Hoodoo Brown's in Ridgefield on a summer weekend — sun shining, smoke wafting out into the narrow valley funneling Route 7 between Danbury and Norwalk. You'll get that sense, rather immediately, that you're in the presence of something just a little bit special.”
He went on to name some of Hoodoo’s signature dishes … “go for the beautifully barked, cherry red spare ribs, crispy pork belly, pastrami, and a fistful of bacon as an appetizer, just because. Brisket and sausages often show great potential, too.”
Since its opening in 2015 by locals and founders Cody Sperry and Chris Sexton, Hoodoo Brown has turned up the heat on notoriety - people all over the country have flocked to the Ridgefield hot spot for their BBQ fixings.
Just this spring, the BBQ favorite was featured on the TV show Restaurant Roadtrip. In 2017, the Cooking Channel featured Hoodoo Brown on a segment called “Man Fire Food.” [Read more Hoodoo “press” on the restaurant’s website here].
