Stopped into the newly opened Philly location of Baby Blues, which opened late last week at 34th and Sansom in U-City (the former Bubble House). Owner Stephen Fischer, whose brothers run branches of the 'cue joint on the West Coast, took a salvaged/reclaimed approach to furnishing the historic space, whose two sides have been united by an open island kitchen look for touches like old fire hydrants and machine gears doubling as high-top table bases, Brazilian army canvas stretched over the tops of comfy stools, and an old bakery bread rack doubling as a wood receptacle for Blues' 400-pound-plus Southern Pride smoker. The Fischers' childhood dinner table (there are 10 of them) serves as communal seating in a private event space downstairs. As far as food, they offer a selection of mixed-up American barbecue traditions, plus plenty of seafood. We got down on a combo plate of babybacks, Memphis-style ribs, collards and mac 'n' cheese. All very good. Peep game if you're a BBQ head.
