Texas BBQ

[ChampKind 1314]

This may be the best thing I’ve ever cooked. Smoked beef belly that I glazed with go chu jang to finish. Served on jasmine rice cooked with smoked chicken broth

So much this.  I'll go out of my way to patronize decent food from a great person every time.  It's a part of the experience.  Sanctimonious "que'ers" are becoming like hipster micro-brewers.   

 

 

Hey Hey Hey Now!

I'm pretty sure we're not allowed to use that term anymore.

That Korean sauce is like fucking crack.  I have been thinking about using it to glaze some pork ribs, but haven't gotten around to it yet.  It makes the best wings I've ever had.

Anyone hear of Whitfield's? BBQ truck opening tonight at Davis and Brodie. Free beer and wine until they run out. Co-owned by Kasey Studdard.

My former business partner. It will be the best barbeque in the Cypress area.

 

We're going to give it a shot tonight.

You coming to Austin anytime soon? 

Surly pop up?

[ChampKind 1314]

That can probably be arranged

The next good bite of food I get at Beaver’s will be the first. That place is ridiculously overrated.

Parents have already been 5 times. They confirm it is and it’s not close. Hopefully will try this week and get a few pics.

I am sure it’s true, but it’s not like Tomball is far from cypress.

[Washpark 176]

Had Valentina’s to-mex recently. Was good but if it wasn’t in the taco then don’t believe it would get much love. The meat alone is good but not great especially compared to what you can get in the area.

Fan of the brisket but thought the chicken was meh.

Queso was quality and great tortillas. Nice way to mix up bbq.

Update:  Cypress Trail Hideout home of Pappa Charlies

Well, I was disappointed.  Ordered two-meat plate with brisket, sausage, coleslaw, and beans.  Brisket was moist, but flavorless.  Sausage was alright, but I think they cook Mikeska's sausage from Taylor - so not unique.  Sides were really good.  Both of my girls (no pics) ordered pulled pork sandwiches and the pulled pork was pretty good.

Timing was an issue for either Truth or Tejas (both of which are much better, IMHO) and we just wanted to try something different.  Could have been an off night.

are there any better options in town for evening bbq other than terry black’s and SS?

[hornfan785 566]

Valentina's is usually open til 8 or 9 I think, if you want to travel a bit south.

Freedmen's

[ChickenSandwich 9856]

Pappa Charlie's at 4.30pm yesterday, wasn't expecting their best at that time, but it was legit.  Great bark, texture, and flavor.   Also release a new full menu, looks good.

Moist sandwich with cream corn and potato salad.  I prefer mustard based salad, but the cream corn was outstanding

That brisket looks ten times better than what I was served on Friday night.

[GreenspointTexas 9880]

Feges was solid for a food court. Pork ribs were the best, brisket was a tad dry, and sausage was meh. Sides (elotes and brussel sprouts) were great

 

good spot if youre close or work in Greenway, obviously

Wonder if those pare Golden Beets. I’m a fan. 

[utee94 15896]

Wait, so you have to be a chef now to open a BBQ trailer?

I guess I missed my window.

Are those strawberries on top of the ribs?

That was the first thing that caught my eye.  Some people just try too hard. 

[Mack Tripper 697]

Are the strawberries a "sensational side" or a "perfectly pickled accompaniment"? 

[Bill Brasky 1481]

They are going for the top 50 bbq joint list on Huffington Post

hutchins mckinney update

cat. bag. out of.

sunday morning, 11am, line 30 deep, but drive through moving rapidly, had a pound of fatty, pound of lean, and 2 pounds of turkey (their turkey is spec-tac-ular).

only problem?  brisket is now $20/pound, bird $15/pound.

and why not?  spring creek and dickey's over on 75 are EMPTY at 1130 when i drive by.

Drove by Hutchins many a time and never stopped. Couple months ago decided to stop and was impressed. Been back once since and will for sure stop in again.

[dcbc 14570]

Had a breakfast bowl at Stanley's Famous Pit Barbecue this morning.  Not the best picture, but it's a fine $5 breakfast.

That looks like an episode of Chopped...ran out of time so they just threw the ingredients on the plate at the end.

Probably thinks he's being cute and playing off bbq and Big Red, not realizing Big Red is not strawberry flavored.

So what time do I need to show up in line for Franklin's this weekend?

you’re already late

Depends on the kind of waiting you prefer.  Get there at 8:00 and wait three hours for Franklin to open and then wait in line a while.  Get there at 10:00 and wait one hour for open and then wait for them to run out of food.

[HoustonHorn 1062]

So 8. That's what I was figuring but just wanted to be sure.

What's the second choice if it's closer to 9 or 9:30? LA BBQ? Will the line be crazy by then?

[relapse98 634]

Especially with UIL Softball state championship and NCAA baseball regional, it could be mobbed with out of towners.

[HoustonHorn 1062]

Yes, wasn't thinking about those.

Used to eat a lot of Pokee Joe's when I worked at Books too. Good fries.

The fried okra and banana pudding are good enough to justify the mediocre bbq.

[HoustonHorn 1062]

Just grabbed a Juan in a million taco and going back to be first in line at LA BBQ. 50 people in line at Franklin's at 8. I'll hit it on a weekday sometime.
