Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The first weekend that we opened Hill Country Barbecue Market in New York City, I learned what it was like to feed 5000 people a small plate of food. Talk about trial by fire! In addition to our restaurant opening, it was the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party which in its heyday fed more than 125,000 attendees. I thought I was being efficient when I paired long slow-smoked Texas-style brisket with a quick salad, but little did I know that I was creating the restaurant’s signature dish.

With that and the rest of the HDK, which also includes a perf board, … [Read more...] about With BitLab, LittleBits Wants To Become The App Store For Hardware
