  1. Yeah, that "brisket" I had yesterday, it was juicy enough but was chopped into tiny pieces, was chewy and zero flavor. The pork ribs were dry and you had to gnaw them off the bone. Had Fox Bros brisket and it is really good, miles better than anything I have found anywhere in AL but still a notch below what I found in TX at even semi chain places like Hard Eight. I know they are from TX originally but maybe it is just a question of the source for their meat, not being as fresh or local stock not being of the same quality.
  2. Sugar never goes on meat, save the sugar for the nanner pudding.
  3. Very few of the places I go use gas. They do tend to use hickory around here though, rather than oak.
  4. I think that may be the step they seem to miss on brisket here, the resting part. Most of it is lacking in flavor and too tough. Also, the vinegar, do you use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Do you just baste with it or marinate it before putting the salt and pepper rub on it?
  5. Bit late to this thread and as an outsider, may not be the best opinions but here they are. Fox Bros is great, just wish I could actually catch them when they have beef rib, as I hear it is awesome. My favorite place, anywhere in the ATL vicinity, is in Douglasville. It is the best cajun food I have ever had, outside of Lafayette or Alexandria, LA. That is Gumbeaux's. Everything is awesome there and huge portions(I make three meals out of it these days). My favorite is their seafood rotini, A huge plate of rotini with cajun cream sauce, shrimp, crawfish and andouille sausage. Doesn't really need it but put some hot sauce in it for an extra kick. Comes with garlic french bread and two sides. Like I said, enough for several meals, unless you are like I was in my teens and 20's, with a bottomless stomach.
  6. Curious, not that I am gonna go out and try to become a 'cue master on the smoker but what exactly do you guys do that makes brisket so tender and flavorful? I have tried brisket at a bunch of BBQ joints, all over Alabama and none of them do it anywhere close to every place I tried in TX. FWIW, none of the TX locations were as good at pork(ribs, pulled pork) as most places in AL. Sausage, especially the jap sausage, was better overall in TX, as well. Although, Saw's in Bham has awesome smoked sausage and boudin. Tried a new joint, here locally and regretted it. They did not do even the pork staples correct and seemed to think they did great brisket. I had to disabuse them of that notion. Gonna hafta stick to the one really good local joint(by local, I mean in my town, better places around the state), even if they also cannot do brisket justice, they have really good dry rub ribs and pulled pork.
  7. Yeah, mostly just wanted to get the line about Gene being kinda a dictator in there.
  8. Bands where the bassist is the leader of the band, some dude named Gene would like a word with ya, about firing you.
  9. They have awesome scenes like the one posted but occasionally they get a little out there(jumping the shark type moments). That is the only thing keeping it from being one of my top shows.
  10. Birds are sunsabitches
  11. ^Right there with ya. I never go any more complex than a Zebco 33. On my rare fishing trips, it is to relax, not deal with complications with my gear.
  12. I watch it but not high on my list. It is one of the last ones I watch off the DVR.
  13. Play better teams. I sold all but 2 games from my season tix last year, a few below what I paid for them because of the suck teams were not worth the drive to go see. I am so glad they are going away from the marquee neutral openers and back to home and home series in the next few years. I understand why they did it but it sucked for those of us who actually go to the games.
  14. Nope, damned DVR at the time must have fucked me. It tried to do the same thing with last night's episode. It was set to record Ep2 but for some reason did not consider the season premiere as a first run showing, had to tell it to record it once.
  15. Good episode but did I miss something? The last episode I saw was with him in NOLA and meeting the weird chick in the bar. Looks like there was at least one more episode that I missed.
  16. Thx for the heads up. Never saw a commercial about it.
  17. Yeah, you really needed to watch that whole season and then when he rolls into the corner. It is a massive payoff.
  18. Yeah, while most of the guys were falling for Belinda, Jane was who I fixated upon, on screen.
  19. No, the vengeful brother showed remarkable restraint against the rapist. He only kicked him in the head, instead of stomping on his head.
  20. Verne Troyer was the biggest highlight of The Surreal Life(the only reality show I ever watched). Just watched the subject of this thread. They changed a few things from the book but you would need a 4 hour, at least, movie to fit most of it in there.
  21. That last one is not hood, that is life. Dude actually showed more restraint than I expected.
  22. For some reason, my DVR recorded both the HBO and HBOL versions. I deleted the HBOL version a nanosecond before thinking, should have watched to see if it was overdubbed with Spanish. It might be even more hilarious that way.
  23. Barry is a sociopath. He has no grip on what others might find important or emotional. He is trying to fit in but does not have the tools to successfully do so. He is a little different in that he is trying to become a "real boy". That leads to what we might call dickish behavior. You either love that about him or not. You can't waffle on it though. Much like watching a stand up comic that does a ton of "controversial" humor. You can't laugh when they make fun of everyone else but then when something hits close to home, hate on them for it.
  24. Thanks to you and the others who gave advice. I will catch up to the rest of you in about a decade.
  25. FWIW, I am not doing this to ever perform for others. I am now disabled, due to a blood clot I got in my leg(which blew out all the valves in my leg veins), where I have to put my feet up several times a day. I am just looking for something to keep me from going crazy and this seemed like something I could do while sitting, other than spending way too much time on here or other websites.
