  1. Ribs, Chicken (Half birds), sausage and bologna (Okie) on the smoker.  Made some homemade pickles and pickeled some onion (first time doing those) and making up some pimento cheese and some spicy saltines for appetizer.   Sides are someone elses problem. 

  2. JBarM only been open a little while, someone probably been looking at the financials and decided they could double profits being open at dinner as well; with little thought to how that impacts everything else.

    Picked up an HEB spiral sliced ham, but I'm likely to cook something else more interesting like lamb.  Probably have sides of Caesar deviled eggs, roasted Brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes. 

    Man those spiral sliced hams this time of year for like $1 are a steal. I love a smoke ham.  Just use some coca cole or dr pepper as a glaze on it.  Super easy and break it down and freeze leftovers. 

  4. I struggle for things to eat at breakfast.  I can only eat so many eggs and sometimes eggs, sausage, bacon don't leave me feeling good starting the day.   Thought about just trying to skp breakfast all together but that's hard some days. 

  5. Family traditionally comes in the Saturday of Easter for a big meal.  I usually smoke bbq, brisket, ribs etc.  Thinking about skipping the brisket this year though.  Too dang expensive and takes forever and just rolling ribs, sausage, jalapeno poppers, chicken, etc.   Not sure the pork butts and brisket are worth the time they take to cook sometimes.

    I saw a feature about Valentina's on one of the cable food channels, and was surprised to see Miguel Vidal smoking Q over mesquite.  It was from 2015, though -- is that still his wood of choice?  I was taught that mesquite is OK for grilling, but shouldn't be used for low and slow because it can put out creosote.  I'm wondering if that's an overly cautious point of view?

    They used Mesquite at Bodacious on Mobberly predominantly and was never a problem.

    hutchins has gone berzerk

    $34/pound

    I been feeling like prices going up but every morning when they open up the door if there is a line they know they can continue to raise prices.  Until they open the door and there isn't a line the price can stand to increase.  I don't have a huge problem with the big increase in brisket prices we have seen but damn when I go to the grocery store and pork is still cheap and you're selling pulled pork for $20+ a pound I got to wonder if it's truly the pandemic causing all of this. 

  8. Where are you with bbq prices? I feel like more and more (over the last two years) they have really gotten where I can't afford to go out and eat it at several locations.  I had a friend at Hutchins in McKinney the other day and asked for prices....

    Brisket...$31

    Beef Rib...$31

    Pork Ribs...$24

    Sausage....$24

    Turkey....$24

    Chicken...$20

    Pulled Pork...$24

    Does this stuff get to a point that you can't afford it any more or you definitely get more selective on how many times you will go out to eat?  My friend and his family (5) went and it was $160.  Another friend and his wife went and it was $80.  Think of the ribs that would mean a rack of ribs (3lbs) would cost you $75. I assume as long as there are lines restaurants aren't too worried about the prices because folks are lined up, just wonder if there is a tipping point to the bbq craze?  If lunch is going to cost $25 and up then you can get a steak and two sides at Texas Roadhouse for the same price in comparison.

    Is Snow's fucked up right now because of Texas Monthly, or has it been that way for years?

    It's been that way since they were featured on a Netflix show a few years ago.

    I know. Was hoping to pop in mid afternoon somewhere and get some of what was left over. Oh well, maybe it isn’t gonna work out.

    Stop at Stiles Switch.  Solid.
