Daisy May's BBQ USA
Cheek-by-jowl with the Penthouse Executive Club (though the entrances are a block apart), last year Daisy May got a back room of its own, and picnic benches to fill it. My kind of featured performers hail from Kansas City, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and the Carolinas, but I have a thing for Memphis and its dry rub pork ribs, like the little number silhouetted here against thoroughly creamed cream spinach. Waiting their turn in back: a sweet-tangy-salty combo of baked beans with burnt ends.
On another visit, the "bowl o' red" (12 oz.; $6) — also available from Daisy May's midtown street cart — was a great meal in itself, though I'm not crazy about the yellow cheese. Sweet potatoes with brown sugar (8 oz.; $4.50) were sweet enough for dessert.

Do you just not like yellow cheese on your chili or was there something weird about the cheese? It seems odd to have purple onions on a bowl of red, that's for sure!
