Tried Brisket & Rice for lunch today. Good stuff and not too far from me.

I actually figured Patricio Swayze was probably there, but I forgot the Surly call sign. Muledick? Is that what we're supposed to yell?

No, you are supposed to stand up on a table and present your paystub to the entire restaurant (assuming you didn’t drive a 2003 corvette to said establishment.

Ate some bbq that was provided for me today. It was so mediocre (brisket) and plain bad (sausage) that I found it hard to not complain about free food. I would have rather paid myself for something more appetizing.

I asked where did this crappy bbq come from? You guessed it: Goode Co.

Years ago, they were the only place in town with smoked duck. Side of jambalaya. Terrific meal.

After they dropped duck, I stopped going. The cantina, and especially the taqueria still slam.

I must have gotten a bad cut of brisket at Pinkertons a few weeks back because it was pretty meh. The ribs were on point though. They were amazing.

Did you ask for a replacement?  There is no crime in politely asking for your $30+ / lbs order to be replaced if it is not up to standards. A joint like that takes it in stride and doesn’t want bad product to go on paper.  Heck, Luby’s will replace a bad serving without hesitation.

That didn't even occur to me at the time because I was in a food coma from the ribs and sausage.

Thanks again putt. That hit the spot. Pinkerton’s rub was pretty similar to some ribs I enjoyed at the Montgomery County Cookoff a few weeks back. 
 

Their jambalaya is probably the closest thing we’re going to get to the old Goode Co duck jambalaya. I have no idea why they dropped smoked duck off their menu. It was the only reason to eat there. 
 

I’m coming around on spare ribs especially when they’re prepared like that. I still like baby backs better, but nobody in Texas does them right. I guess I’ll have to go to Memphis for proper baby backs.

The jalapeno cheese rice at Pinkertons is an A1 side - for me it’s up there with Truth’s tater tot casserole and dare I say the JM cheesy squash (ok probably not THAT good but still…)  I know there are some major Truth fanbois out there but I think I still prefer Pinkertons by a smidge.

Does Pinkerton ever have lunch specials? It’s a haul from my office, but doable as long I’m on the road by 11.

When I went yesterday I saw that they had a little sign up for chicken thighs but I’m not sure if that’s a newer regular menu item or just something they had posted up. If I’m going out for bbq it’s usually on the weekend so I may not be the best person to answer that question. Their Instagram may have some info if they do though.
