Six Figures For Good 'Cue

Now this is the market at work. New York, long-bbq starved, is putting up some good cash for folks who know how smoke some meat:

LOU ELROSE, a retired police officer with a passion for barbecue, is suddenly a hot commodity.

In the past year, Mr. Elrose, who has won barbecue competitions, has gone from selling pulled pork and slow-cooked brisket from a food cart in Ozone Park, Queens, to a job as deputy pit master at Hill Country, a new barbecue restaurant in the Chelsea section of Manhattan.

After only three months, Mr. Elrose, 55, was recruited for another job, as head pit master at Wildwood Barbecue, a restaurant set to open in March a few blocks south of Hill Country. With this new post, Mr. Elrose is commanding his highest salary yet — approaching six figures, he said. He is also eligible for a stock purchase plan.

Will definitely have to check that out. That being said, Hill Country is highly recommended, as it's more-than-solid Central Texas 'Cue. Not quite Lockhart good, but definitely Austin good.

Now the market just needs to solve the problem of the missing Mexican food.
