Posted by Patricio Swayze,

I disagree that Reese Bros is not worth ordering. I think it is every bit as good as 2M, which I love. Overall, these are my 10 favorite spots, in no particular order (not that anyone asked or cares): Truth Brisket & Rice Leroy & Lewis Burnt Bean Tejas Reese Bros Valentina’s Butter’s 2M Lavaca (although my pops said last time he went he was disappointed, need to confirm)

Top 10 list.

Met my folks and brother and sister-in-law at Lost Pines this past weekend. Seeing that Snow's was just under an hour from Lost Pines, I put together an excursion to go Saturday morning. (I also had s

How long do you hover over your keyboard contemplating whether your drivel has captured the right amounts of smarmy and cocksucker before you hit reply?

Just got back to Dallas from Lexington. What a trip. We pulled up around 8:30/9 Fri night and were first on the scene. We went to the bar around the corner until they closed at midnight and came back

I learned what to order at a BBQ joint by listening to REK, so Big Red is a constant.

Someone refresh my memory...what was the running joke about BBQ on the other site?  Something something approved?  And what was the back story?  Drawing a complete blank on the phrase and the reason for it.  And I don’t think it ever made it over here that I’ve seen.

Haggis approved?

That was a lot of beers ago, but I seem to recall he was insistent on the traditional view of cooking BBQ-- so he believed it had to be a stick-burning offset, running at exactly 225, etc.  He didn't take too kindly to mentions of BGE, WSM, pellet, electric, or anything else of that ilk.

I can't even imagine how he'd react to our current crop of militant sous vide activists-- we didn't have much of that back in the day on the old site.

I made these back in 2012

Going to Franklin's Barbeques is on my bucket list.  I hope to hit it up soon, and when I do, I'm going to start a new thread all about my experience there.

 

Well I'm having Franklin on Sunday for the first time (finally got around to planning a pre-order) so I might beat you to making that thread. But our experiences are likely to be different so make your own instead of posting in mine.

Surly, choose my lunch. Options are Pinkerton’s, Truth or The Pit Room. I had Pinkerton’s last week, but could 2peat.


If you have time for any of those, you have time for Feges. That would be my pick. Parking is easy access off Buff Spdwy, and they validate.

I'd go to the Pit Room if it were me, especially having Pinkerton's last week.  If Truth in Houston is on par with Brenham, you can't go wrong there either.

I think Truth is starting to hit their stride. Each time I have gone it has been good, but not as good as in brenham. But seems to be getting better. Decisions, decisions.

Went to try Kerlin's BBQ yesterday for lunch and was disappointed. Brisket was 5.5/10, kinda dry. Peppery rub was good, bark was good, but dry? C'mon mann..... Sausage Kolache was off the charts though, I did enjoy that, 9/10. Hopefully I caught them on a bad day, I've seen it recommended a couple times for good BBQ on the east side without the wait of Franklin or even La BBQ, but I'd gladly wait for LA if this is the alternative on Cesar Chavez.

I did three places within 36 hours back in 2012. Holy shit was that the best mistake I ever made. Well, that and psycho aggy chick with the amazing tits.

pfffft..... In 2009, I did seven places in one day, which included the Top 5 ranked by TX Monthly.

Unfortunately, no Big Red. Trying to watch the sugar intake. I went back to Pinkerton’s and it wasn’t a mistake. Absolutely glorious brisket and sausage today.

I also had to sit in horror and watch my Venezuelan colleague cut the bark off his brisket.

i hope you ate it off his tray

Stopped by Micklethwait today.  Brisket, jalapeno/cheese sausage, and pulled lamb.  Food was excellent as always.  Always satisfying driving past the 3 hour line at Franklin for a 15 minute trip to Micklethwait, which, outside of brisket, is on par with or better than Franklin.

Wasn’t there pictures of a person eating at franklin’s and using scissors to cut their bark off? Did I make that up?

Tell me more about the lamb. When I am out of country one of my favorites is lamb. Just can’t find it enough here in the states.

Smoked and pulled just like pork butt -- same consistency as pulled pork with the distinct flavor of lamb. 

I picked up a boneless leg of lamb from Costco a couple weeks ago.  Planning on slow smoking it on the kamado whole to medium rare which is how I prefer lamb.

Urgent help needed. I’m in Denver. Is there and joint (pun intended) that sells really good smoked brisket here?

No. Lots of good restaurants, but not BBQ yet.

Which restaurants do you recommend?
