Was there for lunch today and talked to one of the owners. He said they are doing just fine, even with the summer doldrums.

the patrons covering good meat in sauce are hurling a slap to the face of the pitmasters.
quote:
They have a removed their metaphorical glove and struck the face of the unappreciated artist, the sauce marring the canvas as if running red paintbrush over The Creation of Adam. Oh the horror, how the base simpletons have eschewed the culinary titans in their midst, casting their eyes to simpler fares to avoid hoisting their eyes to the heavens where their palette's saviors offered grace for the mere abandonment of earthly transgressions "fork" and "sauce". Humanity has again been offered an Eden, and ungratefully opted to sin by consuming the forbidden fruit, this time in the form of tomato mixed with sugar and vinegar.

it means more Fargo's for the rest of us
quote:I agree about the sausage and we have given them several chances to get it right, but that greasy, weird texture sausage seems to be what they are shooting for. Their price per pound of brisket and shoulder clod is excessive for this market, although the brisket is very good. We have decided that having them trim the fat off the brisket before weighing is the way to go on that issue. We also love the chicken and have resorted to buying the meats we want and getting it to go. We have forks and sauce at the house and I can make some killer sides at home.
Had lunch there yesterday at 2 PM. 3 tables occupied. The jalapeno sausage was so greasy that I didn't even eat all of it. Seriously, it poured out of the link when I cut into it enough to be gross for me. We looked at our bill and the food and basically decided that although the ribs and brisket were pretty good, they weren't 'that' good. It's not that I am being cheap, I don't think. I just think their price point is set awfully high and if it was the quality and consistency of Snow's, I would be there all the time.
We were gonna take some 'to go' orders home after lunch but punted on that idea.
quote:Yup. I'd rather drive to North Bryan and get 4 star brisket than drive 100 miles for 5 star brisket.
I paid $22 a pound for brisket at Louie Mueller's in Taylor a week or so ago (it was Prime--not on their online menu). Kreuz is $16.49 a pound. Black's in Lockhart is $15.98/pound.
Beef prices are high, y'all.
