Dear Eight Pound, Six Ounce, Newborn Baby Jesus, in your golden, fleece diapers, with your curled-up, fat, balled-up little fists pawin' at the air, that meat loaf looks incredible.

[pepper brooks 579]

I just scarfed down a hunk of that meatloaf with the horseradish mashed potatoes. If you haven’t been over to bucks yet, please kick yourself in the nuts.  That meatloaf was special, but then champ was kind enough throw in a couple of pieces of brisket.  I’ve had the brisket there a number of times now, and I’ve said bucks is top 3 for me in the city, and I can say this was the best brisket yet.  I didn’t think that was possible to outdo what he’s been doing, but he has found a way.  Little known secret is you can wash this deliciousness down with a few fingers of rip van winkle 12 year lot b for a totally reasonable price as well.   Makes having to go to the tax office to pay taxes on a new car seem like not such a bad thing.

Yep, had a visit from Daniel Vaughn yesterday. He was with one of his colleagues from TM, Chris Reid from Houston Chronicle, and Michael Fulmer from Houston Barbecue Festival. I served them everything on the menu and, after they ate, did an interview with DV. He took a bunch of pics and I suspect I’ll get a writeup sometime soon.

[ChampKind 1314]

Here’s a couple pics taken by Scott Sandlin (he writes for Houston Food Finder).

ugh, I am searching for brisket nirvana and can't quite find it at home. 

Champ it looks like you left a decent amount of the cap on over the flat - does that help in your opinion? 

Do you cook or rest it with the cap on top? I never do but starting to wonder if that's a variable. 

[ChampKind 1314]

I specify a 1/4” fat cap on trims. And it stays on. I want the customer to eat that because it adds flavor

[Baboontyme 2808]

Damn right it does. Thanks.

Quitter.  Like you're a damned barber or some shit. LOL

Dude at Neil's gave me the intel. 

I will find another time to get some high quality 'cue.  Enjoy your time off. 

[Ldogg53 514]

Doing a loop at Memorial Park GC with the barbers.  How's the short game coming around?

[ChampKind 1314]

Off is a relative term, my man. Just means I ain’t serving food

[Baboontyme 2808]

Champ I hate to bug you....starting to panic as my date is closing in. Any chance we can hook up for a couple minutes on phone/email/surly/text before next week? Sorry bud. Never done this before and I need to stick the landing. 

[utee94 15746]

Is baboon trying to hook up with champ?   Interesting...

[HenryJames 65892]

Baboon is thirsty because his brisket is dry as fuck.

[Baboontyme 2808]

We exchanged some messages just before he ventured into Bucks and got super busy. I'm probably good, just getting nervous as I am getting closer to this cookout. I'm mostly paranoid about holding temps and the risk of getting people sick. We had some discussion/PMs on the scat site about it. Sorry for the interruption, back to your regularly scheduled programming. 

[dcbc 14423]

Depending on how long you are planning on keeping it warm before serving, my anecdotal evidence leads me to conclude that it is highly unlikely that you will get anyone sick. 

So how long of a post cook to plate time are you looking at?

Thanks man. Appreciate it. I am overthinking this whole damn thing.

Pro Tip: Put Immodium in the slaw and potato salad. 

[thunderlounge 7759]

Speaking of slaw, I made a bleu cheese slaw Saturday that was fire. Last 3 days the leftover was lunch on its own. 

[DoobieWah 1412]

Pre-afternoon-Astros-game plans?

[ChampKind 1314]

My pre-game plan was to serve lunch. And we served a ton of it. Place was packed for several hours

[huge 3789]

I can attest.



Pork belly bahn mi. Cheesy squash. And whatever Korean setup he does on the burnt ends.

A+++

Nice. However, your association with Ldogg just proves you are doing something wrong. Very wrong.

325ish. All day, errday. Using choice grade CAB briskets in the 14-15lb range. They're about 12lbs when they hit the pit. No Wrapping At All until they're done, which is usually in about 6-7 hours. Everything gets cooked at 325

Notice any difference in the bark at the higher temp?

[Buzzrock 14877]

I’ve only been to Houston once and never really had any interest in going back.

Until now. Looks awesome Champ.

[ChampKind 1314]

Yep. Much more dense bark than at lower temps

The pond would be good for you.
