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

McStabby’s cheesy squash. I don’t have a recipe but shits good.

I had the Buck's version based on the Stabby recipe and concocted a version based on that.  It's close by my taste buds.  Sort of like the loaded baked potato of squash.  There's a picture a few posts up from the recipe.  I backed off on the amount of cheese since I made it that time.  I adjusted the recipe to what I currently do, which is 1.5 cups of shredded cheese instead of 2.5 cups.  It's creamier with that revision and closer to what I remember.

cheesy squash is easy, just wing it.  I made some a few weeks ago.  cook down some squash and onions and garlic, add a little cream and some shredded cheese of choice.  I threw in some sausage as well.

The words magnificent bastard come to mind.

 

It's not quite as easy as the Futureman steak though, i.e., take the raw steak out of the butcher paper, put it on the plate, and eat it.

Nominations for favorite bbq side-order recipes to cook at home would be appreciated. The easier to cook, the better. 

Pinto Beans in the instant pot. There was a discussion on some thread around here recently. We all do it a little differently. I like to soak beans and add a ham hock.

No (at least not that I can recall).  But you've shown a preference toward the wound it, wipe its ass, and drag it by version of rare in the steak thread on a few occasions.

Guess BBQ in Waco is the same. Never overly busy during peak lunch hours, worried about them.

Went about 2 weeks ago on a thursday at 12:30 and there were about 20 total in there.  Food was on point...crowd was not.  But then I drive by Helberg about 3x/week and there's always folks running through their temp drive through service.  

 

Unless you have an old bombed out building that is barely up to health code, Brick & Mortar is a tough bet in the BBQ game.

Pretty good looking rib.

Gave a 2.5 pounder away to the neighbor as he's the oldest of three (he's 22) and they've been making a ruckus fighting.  He'd never heard of beef ribs and told him trust me, it will take you to another planet.  All stress, all fear, all worry, all everything goes away with just one bite.  He looked at me funny and I was like bruh, just do it.   You could see his whole entire being completely relax with good ole Texas BBQ.   Thanked me twice after.

I think bbq casuals don’t want to pay $50/lb for brisket.  It worries me too. 

This and it's going to get a lot of joints in the near future if you ask me.  Not sure what they can do but pricey cuts are going to get some of these bbq joints.  Pulled pork and chickens need to become more of a focus.  I'm surprised more BBQ joints are limiting their brisket days to maybe Friday and Saturday. I think the bubble is bursting on the Texas BBQ scene to be honest. It's been a hell of a run for years.

if i remember right, bbq started as taking the cheaper / non popular cuts of meat and making them delicious 

those days are long gone of course 

Chicken wings cost 1.8X breasts, 2.3X thighs, and 2.8X drumsticks.  Explain that to me.

Fajitas say "hi."  My 87 yr old dad has a whole rant about it -- "I used to buy them for 29 cents a pound before those assholes at Chili's went and made them popular with gringos."

Cheap/throwaway stuff (that is often the food of poor folks/minority cultures) gets discovered and becomes expensive:

- smoked brisket (used to be for country/rural folk, at the local market/butcher/bbq joint)

- chicken wings (cheap bar food for yankee yahoos)

- ox tails (an african american staple)

- fajitas (served by the platter full at countless mexican backyard barbecues until they got expensive in the early 80s)

- tacos in general (I'm looking at you fuckers at Torchy's)

And the list surely goes on and on.

Just an educated guess: The dark meat is a function of exports to China, and the Chinese prefer dark meat. Wings are a function of the US demand for restaurants serving wings.

I like brisket just fine, but when it starts competing with steak price-wise, steaks win out every time with me.

As a frequent pornhub viewer, I can assure you this is true.

First fajitas I had were at La Vista at the Hyatt Regency Austin, which was among the fanciest hotels in Austin at the time.  Server after server bringing out the piping hot comales, delicious fajita steam wafting through the lily-white clientele on the second floor of the Hyatt.

That was one of our go to special occasion restaurants when I was a kid. I remember thinking those fajitas were heaven sent.
