Maurice Hallett, proprietor of the airport eatery, Smokehouse BBQ, is offering the same combo for the low cost of $17.78 — yes, with a double shot of booze — at his Trenton, N.J., 1911 Smoke House Bar-B-Que restaurant. He’s dubbing it the “D Brooks Special.”Hallett told the NJ.com news site that he can’t feature the deal at the airport itself because the rents are too high there.Burgers run $17 to $18 at the airport, so Hallett said he suspects it was the alcohol portion of Brooks’s tab that made it so steep. “He must’ve been knocking back a bunch of drinks,” Hallett said.Hallett and his team have clearly been enjoying their 15 minutes of fame. On its Facebook page, the restaurant even said, “Thanks Dave Brooks for the free publicity,” though it requested that the columnist use the dining spot’s hashtag (#youcantbeatourmeat) in any future references.
