For some reason it just really bugs the hell out of me when people say proteins instead of meat.


Is that a hipster thing to say?

Idk, but its dumb as hell either way.

didn't it start with choose-your own fast food joints? Like "Step 2. Choose your protein!"

I wonder if that came about as a response to the anti-meat movement, to remind people that meats provide essential proteins.

It's probably the opposite, they changed it so the stage 4 vegans didn't even have to see the word meat when selecting the soy chunks on their California burrito.

Sometimes I feel like you guys just wanna be pissed off.

If someone on this thread is actually pissed off they should probably seek therapy.

If you'd like to see some real, sweaty TexAgs nerd rage, go on the Entertainment board and say something slightly critical or questioning about a Hollywood minor celebrity. You will keep two or three guys over there busy for the rest of the day and night.

Or just go to any thread on the politics board

I find the politics board to be fairly tame and civil in comparison. But maybe that's just me being used to listening to redneck barflies spin the bull*****

*and this is coming from someone who's had multiple ridiculous bans on f16.

Firecraft BBQ is ****ing amazing. Dude is a competition winning chef who quit his job as the head chef at a swanky (non-bbq) place in Kingwood to open a food truck for bbq. We do multiple Thanksgivings every year because my parents cannot drive, so we always get a brisket from FireCraft for one of them. It's the greatest thing I've ever put into my mouth.

All that being said, opening this restaurant has been a comedy of errors. They've been trying to get this thing open for almost two years now.


My parents were telling me about this guy. They go to the same church, St. Martha's up off Northpark, as the owner.

Is that the squash? According to their website it's only supposed to come by the pan.

Mac looks terrible.

Tarpon will be here is a bit to sing praises for Tin Roof, but I've felt our bbq seen on the upper east side lacking since the Luling BBQ truck guy pulled up his stakes when his pit got stolen.


For the record, I've always said Tin Roof was basically B barbecue with Truth/Pinkerton's/etc being A+. It consistently solid but not something I'd drive across town for.

Tin Roof is OK, but the best brisket in the area, IMO, is at friggin' HEB in Kingwood. Once Ol Boy opens up in the old Ace, that'll take the crown for the area, because the stuff out of the trailer when they were on NP was really good.

Agree that the truck in front of Kingwood Asylum was the best in the area. Have they still not opened in the old Alspaughs building? Their product is better than Firecraft, but not that much better.

There are a lot of gaping holes out there.

Not sure if it's open or not. I haven't gone over to that side of the shopping center in awhile.

Had True Texas BBQ the other day and they do do a pretty good job! Is it world class or gonna be on Texas Monthly list any time soon? No. But it's damn respectable. Especially for a quick sammich to take the edge off before grocery shopping.

Shopping hungry is a bad idea for me.

And are you talking about Sloan Rinaldi at Texas Q? They're taking the space at the old Alspaugh??

I had some neckbeard BBQ at one of these open-till-sold out joints. Brisket was OK, sausage was fair, beans sucked, potato salad was good, banana pudding was great. Even if the brisket had been top notch, I still wouldn't think it would have been worth $32/lb. This was at Helberg BBQ in Woodway.

I'd take HEB True Texas BBQ any day over that stuff.

Nothing to add except that OP's picture looks like absolute ASS. Reminds me of a **** BBQ place in Tomball "Bexar"

To try to save this thread here was our tray from Corkscrew this past week.

T&P for OP's business though or whatever his relationship is to the place.

Those ribs look terrible and fresh jalapeños are too strong for bbq.







See how subjective criticism of other peoples opinions is stupid?

Yeah but we don't take your food recommendations seriously after that slop you posted to start this thread. That OG post looks like BBQ from Uncle Eddie's best Vegas buffet in town. Mac and cheese is EXTRA runny tonight

If his success with JCI is any indication, Firecrap will be gone in a year.

Try the pulled pork sometime. If you're there on a Saturday get a chicken to take home. Not sure what Will does with chicken but it's a winner.

Anyone hit up Bretts in Katy since they moved. Was good back next to the TV and vacuum repair shop…complimentary beer too.

Their chicken is legit. Back when it was a trailer, I once bought 3 family packs and 6 chickens for a party, and you would have thought I murdered someone from the looks I got walking back to my car. I think I bought half the chickens they had for the day (unknowingly).
