The Smoke Joint (in Fort Greene)
87 South Elliot Place
Brooklyn NY
11217
RSVP by: 2/2

The Smoke Joint is a delicious BBQ joint right in the heart of Fort Greene with a full bar (tequila and wine too!) and loads of delightfully carnivorous treats; Ribs, Whole Chickens and Pulled Pork. Their most popular dish (that isn’t BBQ) is a half a head of lettuce covered in bacon and blue cheese.  

The Smoke Joint doesn’t really take reservations, but they can seat up to 15 people together and will set up a few table for us… and believe me, we will eat good.

I just spoke to the folks at The smoke Joint again and they suggested we meet at Mulane’s a bar across the street at 7pm, and they will set up a table for us when we see how many folks show up.
Mulanes address is:
71 Lafayette Ave
(between Elliott Pl & Portland Ave) and is across the street

We're approaching the halfway point in the Paleo Challenge!  We want you to revisit your original plan and take a look at your goals to see how they've lined up with your execution. Where are you doing well? What needs to be augmented? Do your goals still seem realistic? Are there any new goals you might have for yourself going into month two??  Don't answer just yet, review your plan and think about what you want out of yourself in February.  We'll revisit this on the first!
We believe in you and are behind you, Team SBK!
