Before we walked in, I talked to Russell Roegel from Roegels BBQ here in Houston. I've known him for a long time so it was good to catch up. He's doing a smoked Cuban sandwich at his restaurant on Tuesday. I may have to go check it out (I love a good Cuban).


I talked to Aaron very briefly about his personal backyard smoker project. He said it's moving along, that they are almost done with the production building in south Austin and he should have the first prototype done next week. He said there are 53,000 people on the list. Surely not all will but but if they did...wow. I did the math based on a $2k smoker (I figure they will go for $2000-$2500).

53,000 x $2000 = $106,000,000
Even if just 10% bought: $10.6mm...not a bad side business.

I've seen ONE90 on internet searches but haven't heard any secondhand experiences. I ended up at Louie Kings btw. We'll see how this goes.

• Louie King brisket cooked too hot. A bit ashy, tough to eat. No flavor. Very disappointing.
• The Shaved pork was nice. It had good smoke and a light sweetness. Best meat on the plate.
• Pork ribs were chewy. But they were smokey and had a nice bite - I really liked the spiciness of the rub. Really good flavor, just tough to eat.
• The slaw and pickles even outshined the brisket. They had Carolina mustard sauce, Alabama sauce, then a Texas sauce. Kind of a southern mashup of a place as evident by the shaved pork.

• I went to Ferris Wheelers for dinner. It was better.
• The thick slices of brisket were moist with well rendered fat. The meat held good smoke with just a touch of sweetness that was not offputting to me. B+ brisket.
• Ribs were a tad dry and didn't really have much flavor. They weren't bad, just unremarkable. B-
• Pulled pork was average. Pork itself had a good flavor, but it was certainly boosted by the sauce on top.

Wife and I are headed to San Antonio Sunday for a week.

Any recent experiences with The Granary or 2M?

Any other places in the area that caught anyone's attention?
