Of course you pay for the bone - the restaurant pays for the bone. It's no different than pork ribs.
Just making sure. You wouldn't believe how many people complain about paying for the bone like it's some kind of racket.

What you don't get off to a foot long bone in a cowboy ribeye at these fancy steakhouses???

Anyone else going to Cattleack tomorrow? How long is the wait typically on Thursdays?
I went last Thursday (awesome!) and we were there about 10:50 and had to wait 30 mins. I would bet they will be a little more popular this week than normal! Very good. They open at 1030 so I would get there about 1015 if I were you. Lady at front is owner with husband and she's very nice.
I personally love the Bodacious on the list. The pitmaster is formerly from Stanley's in Tyler. Some of the best brisket I have had and I've ate at about 3/4 of this list in the last few years. If you go, whatever you do, go to the correct one as there are about 5 or so in the area. It is the one on Mobberly in South Loingview across from Letourneau University. The others are crap. If he has boudin when you go it's great as well. He did a Cabrito boudin a few weeks ago that was insane.
I'm venturing out a bit on Saturday. I'll be visiting Hill Country in DC. This one has long been on my To Do List as well.

I will rescind my comments then! I thought the one by the hospital was the locations Daniel Vaughn wrote about and they're terrible. I may be in Longview next week so I'll definitely stop in to the correct one.
CDub, Interested to hear what you think of Hill Country. My brother and nephew went there recently and were impressed with their offerings.
Please do. The only thing the same about the two is the name and the sauce. Everything else is 100% different.

I went earlier today. I got in line about 10:15. (Right about when they opened the doors). I got inside right away and quickly ended up in the dining area near the trashcan. About 10 minutes later the line snaked through the picnic table area over itself a couple of times. I ended up ordering at 11:48. Best bbq in DFW that I've had. Will post a couple of pics later.
Glad to hear it. I was very pleasantly surprised as well. Very good.
Pappa Charlies does beef rib burnt ends on tuesdays and they are magical. They charge some ridiculous amount for them but they are worth a try.AG 07 said:And you pay for the bone....agcrock2005 said:I don't get the beef rib craze...it's brisket on a stick!JR_83 said:
I need to go back and try the beef ribs and turkey.
I agree. I love Tejas. They do have a problem with consistency some days but overall their brisket is amazing. Pastrami on Thursday is really good and there are very few saturdays we arent there for breakfast tacos and micheladas. The carrot souffle and pinto beans are some of the best sides I've had and the pork belly is a staple (with or without the verdeque sauce). This is what they did for a seated coursed dinner on valentines day:CDub06 said:jja79 said:
Tejas Chocolate Factory is 6? BBQ must be dead. I work in Tomball and have given it a few tries. It's no better than Spring Creek. If you want to try it though you won't have to wait in line because there isn't one.
You wrong. Love me some Tejas.
My thoughts: http://www.texasbbqadventures.com/2016/10/tejas-chocolate-craftory-tomball.html
That is beautiful
How do I get on the invite list for a private event?
So the print issue of TX monthly has a small BBQ pamphlet in the middle that is sponsored by yeti that has all the places, a map, and a checklist. Apparently the top 50 places will have stickers to give you if you ask when visiting and yeti will have prizes that you can redeem at their headquarters in Austin.
Visit all 50 places gets you a 45 qt cooler, visit all of the places with pitmasters trained by the mueller (5 locations) for a half gallon rambler jug, visit the 5 oldest joints on the list for a free 30oz tumbler, visit the two newest members for a few hat, and so on there are 10 total challenges.
Anybody gonna try them out and win some free stuff?

posted up at Tejas drinking a michelada, can't wait to try the 'cue
My BBQ buddy reported over 400 people at Snow's this morning. Including Rick Perry and Aaron Franklin.
Meanwhile I am stuck in NM.

Sounds like all the BBQ purists are out in full force today.
ALthough Rick is at Snows quite often.

That's pretty cool. Don't know that I'll actually fulfill any of them, but it would be fun to try.
Yeah, Snow's had a big crowd. They cooked 50% more today and turned a lot of folks away.

That's a lot of driving.
If you're that desperate for a Yeti, just save the gas money and time and go buy one.
Not even a free Yeti could get me to spend that much time in Dallas.
I highly doubt more than 100 people in the entire state will try to hit all 50 places up for a cooler, but there are far more simple ones. One of the challenges is to hit 5 places in Austin for a free T-shirt. Seeing as you have to redeem the booklet at their corporate headquarters in person which is also in Austin, that seems like an easy one for any one that lives in the Austin area.
I don't think very many people are going to go out of their way to do the challenges but if you are a BBQ nerd, snob, or whatever you call yourself (like I would think a lot of people on this thread) and are going to be hitting top 50 places up anyways, why not get some free stuff?
Here is the list so y'all can see the different challenges for yourself

Contests don't end until Dec 2020 so time is on ur side.
you don't do it for the yeti
you do it so you can talk about it on facebook/texags and feel smugly superior

Wish the BBQ passport was retroactive. I'd be nearly done.
Hit hill country in DC yesterday. Great stuff. Very similar to Kreuz in execution.

Just trade with others. I will be glad to go to Truth and Snow's for anybody who needs those stickers for the Yeti stuff

I'm up for all 50... But the cooler is the bonus. P.S. only 500 coolers and 64oz Ramblers available.

Can't be that similar if it's great stuff...
