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

This was Pecan Lodge 5 minutes after opening today. We had a wind chill in the 30s this morning so that might have been a factor. I've always known this place to have a line out the door. My oh my how things have changed.

Eater has a good video in LaVaca (Victoria) and the pitmaster. She seems to be a badass and I want those tamales. Anyone been?
 

 

I've been a couple of times.  Not that my opinion matters, but I think it is good bbq.  Definitely better than anything else in the area.  Have not had the tamales.  I would like to try them but I just cannot see myself spending that much on tamales.

It was just okay. A lot better than my last visit in 2018 or 2019 but the overall quality has definitely taken a nose dive. 

When PL was at the Dallas farmers Market it was some great barbecue. Been on a downhill slide since moving to a real restaurant space and the owners had to run a real restaurant.

Are you trying to kill him? He's already got enough health problems.

I'm trying to save him. Someone took me the downtown Cooper's this week and the brisket was inedible. No amount of chewing could break it up. Had to spit it out. Can't imagine what the lean was like.

They already have an outpost in Bay City.  Are they thinking about closing that one down or adding a third location in Victoria?

I'll make an extra trip or two this month just for that.   Gene is a good dude.  He's in my FF league as well.

Brisket and tamales may be the most formidable duo since Jim Beam and Johnny Walker.  
 

I’m driving down this weekend to propose to her.

At a conference in Dallas this week.   Was tasked by my boss to take my co-workers and some of our out of state colleagues to dinner.   He normally takes them to Hard Ate “for the experience”.   I took everyone to Hutchins.  It was absolutely awesome. 14 of us in total.   Here’s the damage 

7lbs Brisket

2 lbs each of original and Jalapeño cheddar sausage 

3 lbs turkey

4 lbs ribs

2 lbs burnt ends

I’ll never understand ordering turkey when delicious beef and pork is available. turkey is fine but it isn’t moist brisket or a pork rib. ham with jezebel sauce isn’t bad either but I’d never fucking order it at a bbq restaurant. 

3 ladies and a dude not eating red meat for a while in the group.   Had to bend my own rules this time.

Had Pinkertons in SA today.  Overall better than a recent trip.  Ribs 8.9, Brisket 8.4, Sausage 7.9. Appeared overstaffed with plenty of people standing around talking.  The mrs stated that the dining area needed some cleaning.  He'll continue to get my business because he's better than most.  

I forgot that parking is free when you park in the Rand Building parking garage.

Really mediocre meal at Stanley’s sadly. Mushy ribs and jala chz sausage was super meh. They have 3 options for brisket: lean, moist, barky. Hell yes give me barky. Brisket was very good. They threw in some potato salad that had a jalapeño kick and was also good.
They seem to have changed something with the ribs in the last year or so, and it hasn't been for the better. Your assessment is spot on. The brisket was great when I was there last week though, and the sammiches always are solid.

A properly smoked turkey breasticle is awesome. It also helps you not feel like ass if you mix a little in with the standard meats. Eating a pound of moist brisket is great, but my stomach and toilet pay for it later.

I tried to put Feges into my rotation, it didn’t stick.

The picture above is St. Louis style pork ribs. It isn’t a regular menu item. Today was their 4th anniversary in Greenway Plaza. The whole crew was there and they paid attention to detail. 
 

I understand your position. Their brisket is widely inconsistent. I really only go when they’re serving a special.

Smoked turkey is awesome.

Also, I can tell who has zero experience catering and/or feeding large crowds.

 

 

I’m beyond well versed in both.  I over-ordered on purpose because we had so many from out of state.  The only thing left was brisket and a little turkey.  I took the brisket home and vacuum packed it.

"Shaw" was the guy who was cooking ribs back when they started winning the Texas Monthly best ribs awards.  Shaw isn't there any more.  This review of Stanley's is the least surprising thing I will read today.

Wasn't talking about you. :)
