    I went in not expecting much. But a friend whose bbq opinion I trust swore by this place. Gave it a shot and was shocked at how good it was. Better than Roegels and Southern Q, on par with Pit Room and Papa Charlies. 

     

    Def up there with Freemans and Lamberts for the best table service bbq ive ever had. And normally I dont give a fuck about their sides and drinks, but the corn and the beans were both stellar, and the bourbon selection was the best of any bbq joint ive ever been to. Service was also fantastic

     

    Anyway, just my opinion, but its in my top 5 for the greater houston metro area

     

    Tejas, Corkscrew, Killens, Pinkertons, Pit Room/Delta Blues (all of those are almost like splitting hairs tho)

    I feel ya. I thought their brisket was undercooked and underseasoned (both times) and had a distinct gas taste. The ribs were tough and the sausage was unremarkable. The porkbelly deviled eggs were off the hook, but the Dr. Pepper glazed burnt ends were wayyyyy too sweet and not cooked through. Collards had no depth of flavor, cream corn was sweet with no balance, beans were also very sweet.

    Not even in the same league as what Grant is putting out, let alone what Will and Nicole are putting out. Pit Room has fallen off since Bram left, and Tejas has been inconsistent (probably a result of the turnover in the pit room).  I haven't had a single bite of Killen's barbeque that I was impressed with. Just being honest about it.

    A play on Neils Bohr I have to think.  He was a famous physicist. 

    Este. The Bahr is a nerd bar popular with gamers and comic fans. There are several actual rocket surgeons that are regulars there.

    How about what’s his face that didn’t like Pinkerton’s because he supposedly borrowed money from family to open his restaurant. The fucking horror. 

    In fairness to said (former) poster, damned near everything he posted on shaggy was a bit. And he has since met Grant on a number of occasions and has a different perspective on things now. Grant is good people and I consider him a friend.

    champ any plans for opening day ?

    Yes. Lucky's is having a massive block party for the opening homestand. I'll be posted up in the Lucky's Lodge parking lot selling dogs/chili dogs/old school frito pies, and brisket sammiches.  No lunch service at Lodge on Wednesday since the parking lot will be fenced in...but I'll be out in the lot slanging meat.

  5. Fun fact: Savannah (home of 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment) hosts the largest St. Paddy's Day celebration in the United States. It's also one of the badassest cities in the country. Cuz...Rangers

    I have found choice briskets at WalMart.  They are fine.

    I will probably regret posting this, but "greater good" and all....

    Walmart regularly has choice grade CAB briskets for, wait for it, $1.96/lb. That's a solid dollar cheaper than RD or any of the wholesalers that I buy from. Wally is getting a ton of money from me lately because of that. Its hilarious to see their faces when I'm rolling out a basket full of briskets at 0400.

  7. 2M is absolutely legit. Esaul is doing tremendous work over there, and its a great representation of new age barbeque. Now that classically trained chef's have embraced the culture, we're seeing some fantastic adaptations of traditional barbeque in more "haute" dishes. I love it.

    Who would want to fuck a 4?

    He's just jealous because I'm actually good at what I do for a living. And his opinion means absolutely jack to me. Especially since he's never had my product. He'd rather hide behind his keyboard and run smack than make an appearance, identify himself, and try my food.

     

    Its cool. I'm pretty happy with my life, and very proud of what I produce. Fat Bastard? Well....

  10. How many people you anticipate?

    First comment, do not use waxed paper. You can get unwaxed white butcher paper at RD. For your purposes, that will work fine. As for holding... Either get your pit temp down to 140-150, or use a couple of coolers (something like a Yeti will hold temps much better).

    You'll need an order taker/cashier, a cutter, and someone to run the pass (from cutting block to serving/order taking table).

    Buy #300 paper boats at RD. You can serve in that. For sauce you'll need souffle cups, and you'll need cutlery packets. All that is available at RD.  Shoot me a PM and I'll give you my cell. You can txt me any other questions.

  11. ERhine with this assist! +taparep?

    Its better than Brooklyn BBQ. Because its in The Great State of Texas, not in Brooklyn.  That said, Billy Durney is doing solid work at Hometown Barbecue in Brooklyn. I'll be paying him a visit in December.

  12. Phew, made it in one piece.

    New schedule:

    Wed - Fri: 11:00 - 3:00 at Lucky's Lodge (2024 Rusk St, Houston)

    Thur-Sat: 6:00 - 10:30ish at Holman Draft Hall (802 Holman, Houston)

    Sat: noon - 5:00 at 8th Wonder Brewing

    Mon: 6:00 - 9:00 at Neil's Bahr (steak night)

    Soon as I figure out picture posting I'll resume food pron posts
