Lots of fat, gristle and connective tissue, or so it seemed. Only prepped them one time and I’m sure it gets easier with more experience.  It took me forever and when I was done I had small chunks of meat. They tasted damn good and the family really enjoyed them, just wasn’t worth the yield to me.

True that! They were from Wal Mart. They have great briskets and I saw them while buying a bunch of briskets. 
I have a great local processor that I buy steaks and stuff from, need to hit him up for beef cheeks. He has great hangar steaks and hard to find cuts.

I wish they offered a 1/4 lb. Of sausage because 1/2 lb. Is too much.

Your ______ (mother, sister, wife, daughter--whichever is legal yet most offensive) told me the same thing last night.

Tried out 2 Guys 1 Pit on Spring Cypress today. Pretty good spot. Not top tier but definitely better than Rudy’s. I wish they offered a 1/4 lb. Of sausage because 1/2 lb. Is too much.

We picked up from there two months ago and it was pretty damn solid.

Not sure why I struggle so strenuously over the Ekrich/ Hillshire Farms type links at an alleged legit 'Cue House.

Why the fuck can't everyone, at least in Texas; make great sausage like this?

It doesn't look better.  Sausage seems like it sucks.

Sausage sucks at most places it seems like. The good stuff is really damn good though.

Agreed

 

Tejas chile relleno

Truth Pepper Jack (they sometimes have a good hot guts on the menu)

2M serrano and Oaxaca cheese

 

Those are some great sausages. At least that is what futureman’s mom told me.

Add Interstellar Frito Pie sausage and Jalapeno Popper sausage

This probably goes in the unpopular opinions thread, but I;m not a fan of the trend to put cheese in sausage.  I like cheese.  I like sausage.  I do not like them as a pairing.

I like cheese in sausage. What I don't like is when it gets overcooked, and just runs everywhere

Same here. Cheese (cheddar!!) in Czech style sausage is a relatively recent thing. The Czechs in west Fort Bend County would have laughed out loud if someone wanted cheese in their sausage circa 1980.

anyone else's BBQ source raising prices?

Well, I guess mine did not raise prices, but I have gone every week for the past 9 weeks and ordered 1/2 a pound of brisket, sliced.  $14.02

Today i go and order and they say they are no longer selling by the pound/ half pound but only in meals( like a 2 meat plate) and sammiches.  Said their cost went up 300% on brisket.

I am not bemoaning the policy or bitching one iota.  Just describing it and asking if anyone else has seen it.

Tyler's in Amarillo.

Again, not a shot at them.  They communicated it openly to the customers that their price went up 3X on their supply.

Truth. I live nearby and go there once every 2 or 3 weeks. It's my favorite place to go these days for BBQ. Brisket tacos are delicious and The Real Deal Holyfield breakfast taco is amazing. I'd recommend going during the week if you can because the lines during the weekend get pretty long and the line can move kind of slowly. Plus, it's a good choice for dinner since they're usually open until 8 or 9pm.

Concur on the Holyfield.  Ate breakfast there when I was doing the Top 50 tour just for change of pace.  Thought it was memorable.

Franklins was my favorite, but the wait is a pain in the ass. Micklewaite was really good.  

Was pleasantly surprised by Houston.  Liked most of them, my favorite might have been Killens down in Pearland.  Liked the Tenas Chocolate Craftory too. Corkscrew was closed on me twice (fuckers) but was good when I finally caught them open.

Cattleack & Pecan Lodge were my two favorites in Dallas.  Went early on Tuesday am to avoid Cattleack clusterfuck.  Beef rib at PL was memorable.  Hutchins in McKinney was pretty good

 Bodacious in Longview has great brisket.

Evie Maes in Wolfforth was the best in West Texas & The Smoking Oak in Mercedes was my favorite in the Valley.

the Granary in SA deserves a mention imo.

They are permanently closed.

2M Smokehouse in SA is head and shoulders better than the Granary.

Liked the food at 2M, but it was hotter than hell with flies everywhere.  One of the few disappointments on my trips.  The Granary seemed like a lunch only kind of place.

not sure.  you’ll probably continue to have wrong opinions about bbq. 

Lulz. I’m good with that. I’ll let the folks at Tejas, Valentina’s, 2M, Truth, Leroy and Lewis etc that futureman doesn’t condone their food or opinions on bbq. Thanks dude!

That brisket looks pretty amazing. Begged twenty times for sausage with cheese!

Everything they do is solid, down to the smoked scalloped potatoes.  Their Frito Pie sausage is outstanding; unfortunately they were out today
