Small Bites

Chef Jay Lippin has changed the menu at Mighty Joe Young’s in Hartsdale — and he’s added barbecue.
“Everything from ribs to pulled pork to barbecue chicken and wings,� he says. He’s not kidding. He missed antelope chili, New Orleans style barbecue shrimp, sage-barbecue ribs, plus all the sides: cole slaw, onion rings, baked beans and cheese fries.
It’s a good match with the wood-fired items still on the menu, such as the free-range chicken, the double-cut pork chops and the hanger steak salad with goat cheese.
“We looked at the way the market is changing, and we’re looking for something more casual,� he says. To that note, I must add: don’t miss the stone-oven pizzas. They’re great to share with friends at the bar.
