All you can eat in NYC

Hill Country

The deal: Every Monday night at Flatiron's Texas-style meat factory, $29.95 buys unlimited portions of meltingly soft brisket, gnaw-worthy pork ribs, fall-apart chicken and sides such as sweet-potato bourbon mash and green bean casserole crowned with fried onions. Better yet, shots of booze are but $2 apiece.

Worth it? Break out the bib, big eater, and devour your weight in perfectly cooked cow and pig. With Hill Country's average meat prices around $20 a pound, a little bit of effort-and lots of chewing-make this carnivorous meal a real deal.

For serious eaters: "From the very first Monday night, we were swamped. It was like we'd unleashed a monster," says Hill Country owner Marc Glosserman, who has seen two-hour waits for his AYCE special. This can make customers hungry. "Somebody came in and ate a pound of brisket, 10 ribs, a whole chicken and sides," Glosserman says.
