If you are driving though the small town of Woodsboro during the lunch hour on a Tuesday or Saturday ,  you all need to stop at Tuttle’s Meat Market for all you can eat brisket, sausage, pork ribs and sides.    Good BBQ and not a bad deal for $18.

So, shout out to a legacy joint, legendary to many of us of a certain age: Bert’s BBQ.
Have family in town for my father’s memorial. Yesterday was just a family day together, and I figured I’d serve brisket and such for all of us to have a nice dinner and visit. But had too much going on to smoke one myself. Recalled that Bert’s will smoke it for you for $1 a pound. Wife dropped it off on Thursday (and the experience cracked her up - she walked in at 2:00, and two tables of old men stopped talking and just watched her walk in all the way to the counter - it’s such a dude place).
Went to pick it up yesterday with the boy….walk in the door, and traveled back in time. The smell was incredible. All the game animals on the wall, all the UT gear and memorabilia, just magical.

The boy really took it all in. Two of his best friends from school (two English girls from Surrey and Manchester) are dead-set on a Texas visit this summer. He looked around and grinned and said “I DEFINITELY taking them to lunch here.”
The brisket itself:

It was pretty damned good. Was it on par with any of the new super-high-end places, like interstellar or Franklin? No. But was it really, really good? Fuck yes it was. A solid B+ at worst. And let’s be clear, if you aren’t an experienced bbq snob, it would be one of the best bites of food you ever had.
Man. I lived a coupla blocks from the MLK Bert’s back in the day. I even took dates there.

Yeah, I've had them smoke briskets for me several times.  It's always good, rarely fantastic.  A level above Rudy's, I'd say.  For the price?  Holy crap.  ~ $4 (retail grocery) + $1 per lb, with shrinkage (cue Constanza) maybe $7/lb plus tip.

Mondays lunch one of the Royal-era national championship football teams hangs out there.  Not sure if it's every Monday but I've seen them there more than once.  Legends, all.

Not sure who recommended SLAB on Brodie upthread, but that was a decidedly mid experience. 50% of their menu cut down including most of the sides, sausage was “fine” and the white sauce chicken sandwich was pretty good.

Following up on the rib pricing discussion from last week, you can get a whole rack of spare ribs - uncut - from Moreno BBQ for $35. If you buy them by the pound they're $28/lb. So yeah, just get the whole damn rack for $7 more than one lb of ribs.
