  1. I was similarly underwhelmed when I made my first trip there this past November. Beef Rib was delicious (LaBBQ was better by a lot), but the brisket was awful with no bark. Sausage was meh. I posted about it. Your slice of brisket looks better than mine did.
  2. I did a lot of BBQ this weekend and wanted to try to create something as good as the Brussel Sprouts from Stiles Switch. This is an Asian sweet/spicy attempt. Not quite the same but really good.
  3. It's Certified Black Angus (High Choice) from WalMart of all places. I thought I got a picture of it trimmed, but I must not have. The marbling in the point was beautiful. About 13.5 lbs before trimming.
  4. Yeah, it was really good. It's the first time I've finished one on the pit (wrapped and put the last two in the oven). I got it on at 9:15 yesterday morning. So it didn't get too late on me. I really feel like I got dialed in on how to run a fire in this thing during this cook.
  5. It needs a lot of TLC.
  6. And the cooker picture
  7. Took the day off and cooked some spares, a brisket (for tomorrow), some sausage, and chicken thighs. I haven't had better spare ribs. Brisket to come tomorrow. Really got a chance to fine tune this smoker today.

    We got Soul?

  9. We took my son and his roommate there for lunch his first year right before we said our goodbyes. I kept mentioning the "air conditioned" benefits to him. He's gone back on his own several times. Need to take him to Chili Parlor next time I visit.
  10. I was going to mention Hopfields for dinner. I don't know if it has a "campus vibe," but it's very good.
  11. You only have a "Select" Brisket subscription. You need to upgrade to "Choice" to get the newsletter. I can't even talk about what you get with a "Prime" subscription.
  12. I use the rounded side of the pick. I much prefer it to the "correct way."
  13. Freedom fondling.
  14. Her Facebook already is locked down. Looks like Reddit started having some fun with her yesterday. The reviews seem to indicate that this is the same person. https://www.experience.com/reviews/stephanie-6558833
  15. I'd say to be careful where he points that thing, but he looks to have at least a few inches of clearance.
  16. Just found out I got booked at the Double Tree about a mile from here for a conference I'm going to in May. Definitely stopping by for some High Life.
  17. Well, yeah. It's not 1:1. But the a lot to be ashamed about part sure tracks.
  18. Its like aggy.
  19. It's the Surly Tailgate of air travel.
  20. We'll be 98% Unicom in four years. I've long parroted the idea that if you assume he is a Russian asset (useful idiot), it all makes perfect sense. Was that why he championed birtherism, I don't know. Was it why he ran the first time and asked Putin for help and received it, maybe. Was it why he ran a second and a third time? Apart from avoiding prison, possibly. Self-preservation is job one for him. Grifting is job two. Staying alive by keeping those he owes biggly is job three at the lowest, but in this high of office, maybe not. The first two (self-preservation and grifting) are what it's really all about. A lot of the dismantling of the institutions of government are mostly a distraction to enable grifting, if I had to guess. Cut the budget, reallocate what you cut to new government contractors in which you have an interest or with which you have some reciprocal agreement in place, ???, profit. And to a part of your point, let us not forget that circumstantial evidence is also known as evidence.
