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.

The article said the line was around the block at open. 

The article said she was 2nd in line an hour before opening. On a Saturday. That was compared to 3 hour waits when they opened a few weeks before. It was finally long at opening. That line should be getting bigger as the rep grows.

They are in a town built on turning crap cuts like standard grade brisket and shoulder clods into bbq magic. Maybe those kinds of prices aren’t going to endear themselves to repeat clientele, or five hours a week. Tootsie is 90 and working harder.

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

Tootsie is amazing, but no. Clay is the one killing himself these days. also Snows is open 1 day as well?

Anyone that tells you Pinkerton’s bbq isn’t top tier, smack them. Brisket and ribs, damn perfect today. Brisket was just phenomenal ….

I'm meeting up with about 10 fraternity brothers in Houston pretty soon. Would you recommend Pinkerton's or should we go to Truth?

truth is a much much bigger space. I’d meet a group that size here 

If the weather is good, you can sit outside at Pinkerton’s

Barb’s ain’t Snows, and Chuck ain’t Tootsie.

you are the one that brought Tootsie up.

also give Clay the respect he deserves. no offense to Tootsie or Kerry, but he's the one doing the bulk of the work there these days.

I know you're not saying otherwise, but Tootsie is still a badass.  She was still shoveling coals and moving meat when I was there last - within the past year.  Not sure what time she got there, but she was there at 5:00 am when I arrived.

Those onion rings were the fucking TRUTH too… remember the ribs being solid as well, but I was too young to really know the difference.


for what it was, it was solid bbq. Slightly above Rudy’s, before there was a Rudy’s in Houston

Headed to Merritt Meat Company in Round Top on Friday.  Anyone been?  Offshoot from owners of Truth.  I eat Truth (houston) quite a bit so what's to lose.

I don't mind eating expensive beans as long as they're made by men so I'll let y'all know the prices.

Just dropping in to say that Kerlaches are a gift from god to our mouth holes…

 

 

They're not bad, Desnudo coffee and either kerlaches or veracruz tacos was my go to quick breakfast. I wish they would egg to the brisket kolache, that would send it over the top

OH MAN. I thought these were gone when Kerlin BBQ went away, but this sparked me to research and see that they still live. What great news!

Same.  The switch from barbecue trailer to selling Kerlaches exclusively was a great idea.  I loved their barbecue, but the margins for the kolaches have to be much better than meat by the pound.

I mean, could they be better with other fats layered in?

Yes.

Is that necessary at 8AM when I’m not hung over?

Naw fam.

Needed my barbecue fix and it was already 11:30 on a Saturday - lines would be too long at any of the widely accepted greatest barbecue joints in and around Austin.  Luckily, there are so many great barbecue places around here.  I haven't been in a while, so decided to hit Brotherton's Black Iron Barbecue in Pflugerville.  Showed up at 11:45 and walked right up to the counter.  I had a $50 gift card from some charity event, so I decided to get a family pack with half pound moist brisket, half pound pork ribs and a couple sides.  Got it to-go, since it was much more than I could eat in a sitting.  I ate one of the pork ribs and a slice of brisket while I was there, though.  Rib was cooked perfectly with a good bite and not quite fall off the bone.  Although it was a little over sauced for my liking, the flavor was good.  Brisket was seasoned well with nice bark and nicely rendered fat - as one would expect from a TM Top 50 joint.

People are not coming from out-of-town to eat at Brotherton's because there are some many other, higher profile places to chose from.  However, it is really nice to have great barbecue without the wait.  Brotherton's also has a great sandwich selection - brisket grilled cheese, pastrami Reuben, and brisket bahn mi, being the three that I have tried.

OK, Mr. Brotherton.
