Magazine Review, September 5, 2006
"..in the deft hands of chef Kenneth
Collins (Ida Mae, Smoked) there’s a consistency of effect that makes the

Collins does for New York City barbeque what he did for soul food at Ida
Mae. At Smoked his grilled lamb sausage with chutney, mesquite grilled shrimp
and sweet potato ravioli appetizers prepare your taste buds for chicken
and ribs so tender you can literally eat them with a spoon."

more like it on the menu.”
