    Actually just started drinking Turnbull recently. The “base” cab is a really good value at 50-ish, and the Black Label is really nice. Have not tried the reserve but will check it out.

    CDC = Elmer Gantry You young guys can Google that

    Yes — done a couple, and have one in the freezer now. I read conflicting advice online — more fat so cook to a lower final temp (made no sense to me); more fat so cook to a higher internal temp so it will all render (like 215); cook as you normally would. I chose the latter, monitored the temp, wrapped in butcher paper at 165, pulled at 205/“like butter” test, and it was very good. The point, in particular, has more fat throughout the meat. Here’s a pic of one I did:

    Frankly, I avoid both mustard and mayo on a green Chile cheeseburger. Doesn't enhance the chiles.

    I’d take Ash from the Evil Dead series.

    While we all hate Aggie, we should probably get our own house in order before spending time ragging on their performance...

    At least the defense looked good...

    Likely because it was about an hour from the time I picked it up until we actually ate it — had an unexpected delay. Brisket was fine,though, again, not great.

    Close. Owned by the Cheesecake Factory. They were a really good small chain that CF bought. I like North, so it’s a shame. Sort of the feeling I have about Fleming’s, which I always liked (well, some, especially the one at the Domain in Austin) and is now owned by the group that owns Outback, or High West whiskey, which is now owned by the evil empire Constellation Brands.

    Was in Cedar Park today so went by the new Stiles Switch. Very much “Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss,” which is to say the que is good, but not Top 5 Austin.MOist brisket was good. Sausage was fine, though a tad dry. Pulled pork was fine, but a bit under-seasoned. Beef rib was outstanding, however. I think the beef ribs are the best thing they do, and they have them every day. Corn casserole is one of the better sides in town

    Second Bar + Kitchen at the Domain (Archer Hotel) is open for breakfast. Food is very good.

    I’ve had my Traeger also the 8 years. It gets a lot of use. In that time: 1. The electric controller failed within the first 2 months. They sent a new one immediately, and it worked fine. I replaced it by my own choice with a newer/upgraded model a few years ago, but it was working fine. Newer model just had been temperature control. 2. I replaced the fan once. 3. I replaced the hotpot earlier this year. The old one had finally burned through in spots. I did discover that the ones they make for Traeger on the secondary market have thicker steel. A cheap upgrade. Apart from this, no issues. Looking at a newer model just for more features.

    I brine it overnight, and then place it on a wire rack in a cheap aluminum roasting pan, with chicken stock and aromatics in the bottom. Tent it with foil if it it starts looking crispy.

    Done several turkeys on my Traeger. I set it on smoke setting for a bit, then crank it to 350. Turns out great.
  19. AustinMT
    Was it smoked at 225?

    Will be interesting to follow the process and see the results. Love dry-aged beef.
  21. AustinMT
    Great idea, but that brisket looks incredibly dry and stringy
  22. AustinMT
    Yeah - tried it once, and it was one time too many
  23. AustinMT
    Facebook post says it is temporarily closed — permitting issues, and the owner was having surgery Looks interesting — will try when it reopens
  24. AustinMT
    I will admit I have not picked up from there in a while, because I gave up after buying there many times hoping it would get better. The ‘que is generally dry and bland. Last time I was there I saw them dumping pre-made Mac and cheese from a bag (Sysco?) into the warmer.

    On a good day...it’s better than Dickey’s.
