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

Didn’t go through the previous 19 pages, but 2M Smokehouse in SA was legit. As good as any of the Austin joints (other than Franklin). 

 

2M is legit and their serrano/oaxaca cheese sausage is one of the best, non-traditional sausages I've ever had.  They're comparable to the top Austin joints as they have some training from Bobby Mueller school of barbecue - Stiles, Franklin, La BBQ & 2M.

The TX BBQ Posse just had a write up about this place and it sounds like a solid bbq joint.

Heading there a week from tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

On the other hand, Guess family bbq here in Waco has finally brought really good que to Waco. If your wife drags your ass to magnolia to buy over priced home goods, walk across and get in line.

Will report back on Flores

I'm 0 for 4 in attempts to get Guess bbq. Not gonna assimilate into the Chip & Joanna collective.

There's a good barbecue truck on Waco Drive. Legit full spare ribs.

Daniel Vaughn interviewing Hays County BBQ owners Michael and Asenette Hernandez. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was a good discussion about the trials and tribulations of starting and running a bbq restaurant. Michael has some serious bags under his eyes and he says that's from all the sleep he's missed running it, which I'd believe.

It was a bit rainy that day, although it mostly held off during the event (we were in a large tent) and I guess due to the rain they decided not to charge for the catered Hays County meal (it was going to be $15/plate). Really good event that Kissing Tree and Texas Monthly put on.

Picked up brisket, beef sausage, pork ribs, and two tomahawk pork chops from John Mueller on Saturday.  Brisket and pork ribs were great, even with being heated up that evening.  Beef sausage was pretty dry.  Saving the chops for later. 

Best was breakfast on Sunday - nice slice of moist brisket topped with two eggs over easy and salsa.

Is there anything worse than getting really bad meat at a bbq joint? I just had some of the worst, chewiest, driest brisket I've ever had. It was on a sandwich and piled high on that fucking bun(which was the best part of the sandwich). The meat was like chewing a big cotton ball, and took forever to chew up a single bite even with a ton of sauce. Rarely in my life have I ever sent food back at a restaurant, but I did today. Just fucking terrible, and the replacement sandwich wasn't much better. You make fucking bbq!!!.....that is all you do!! Don't serve some bullshit like that.

Hit up Lockhart's in Plano on Sunday.  Meh...

Man, I really wanted to like it.  I did.  I need a staple near where I live besides Hutchins in Frisco and Hard 8's in the The Colony.  Cool place.  Got their around 6pm.  Their "lean" brisket was dry.  Real dry.  Fatty was better.  Good flavor.  Good bark.  Sausage, which the kids like, was bland (regular, not jalapeno).  Pork ribs were dry also.  Dry and chewy.  So maybe everything had been sitting around, but it was very underwhelming.  Best thing I had was the 10% Belgium triple Freaky Deaky.  

So Pecan Lodge is still my favorite until I can get around to Cattleacks for lunch.
