Stopped at Tonopah Brewing in Tonopah, Nevada because the yelp reviews were pretty good.
The beer was great.
The brisket was possibly the worst I've ever had.
We just moved to Oregon, and I'm already missing Texas BBQ.
Im sorry you had this experience. It helps to talk about it. I've had plenty of awful bbq in Texas - some I'm sure is worse than what is pictured there.
But allow me to present you tonight's spread from "Barbecue Night" in Nampa, Idaho:
It's official. TexAgs needs a NSFW tag.
God save the Patriarchy!
So I'm moving out to LA next week and was reading the hoa rules. Apparently you're only allowed to cook on propane grills, no charcoal or "open flames" so I guess I can't use my smoker there. I'm sorry I thought this was America. ****in commies. Oh well looks like there are a couple decent places that have even gotten written up by Texas Monthly and the chronicle

If it's an HOA rule, I'd at least try to get away with it and then plead ignorance for my first offense. How the hell are they going to know (unless it's a condo type situation)?

or skirt the rules with a pellet smoker. since they just kind of smolder...
plus, make nice with your neighbors and bribe them with delicious smoked meats to buy their silence.

Congrats to Brett's! That's awesome.
Franklin overcame Truth. I'm liking my pick for them to win it all. Kreuz vs. Coopers is a pretty underwhelming Elite Eight matchup...

Franklin's vs Snow's is inevitable at this point.
Congrats to my friends at Snow's and Brett's!!! Good things happening in Milam and Lee counties!
P.S. Ronnie Killen is doing a pork belly burnt end this Saturday at Snow's!

I went to Killens this last Saturday and started with his pork belly burnt ends. I would go just for those alone.
And now my mouth is watering.

Don't worry, we'll be at Snow's bright and early on Saturday...

I'm in DFW for some Q tomorrow. I've been leaning towards going to Flores, because I was beating their drum so much when they were in Whitney, but does anyone else have a strong suggestion of somewhere else I should consider? Cattleack isn't open tomorrow (should've gone today).
Panther City is worth a try! But I'd go see Mike at Flores...
All the God's, all the Heavens, all the Hells are within you.
Both panther city and Flores are really good. Would probably give the edge to Flores. It's been great every time in Fort Worth
Brett's Backyard in the Final 4 vs Franklin. The other bracket is Snows vs Kruez.

Heck yeah! Not bad for a place that's been open 8 months! For transparency sake, I've cooked with Brett and covered some shifts for him in Rockdale.

I am so thankful that Jack Timmons (an Aggie and graduate of the meat sciences department bbq camp) opened up Jacks Bbq up here in Seattle. It is a taste of home and feels like I get transported back home when I walk in the bar. He has definitely taken Seattle by storm and just opened up two more locations.
Fighting Texas Aggie Class of 2012
Finally went to Interstellar in Cedar Park (probably Austin actually but close enough)
Got there at 10:30 and were second in line. By the time they opened at 11 the line was a solid 25-30 people.
Brisket was solid but was lacking flavor. I've certainly had worse, but I've had way better. Pork Ribs were honestly some of the best I've had, very tasty. Scalloped Potatoes were honestly one of the best sides I've ever had as well. Beans were delicious... and free.

This is the former Noble Pig folks, right?
Yes, it is. Seemed a little risky to shut down the Pig, but they seem to be doing pretty well.schmendeler said:

I believe the sandwich shop is now on Burnet
That's correct. They consolidated sandwich operations to Burnet Rd.JCRiley09 said:

Brett's took down Franklin! they must have one hell of a social media army.
WHOA. I hope it pays off for them with some slamming summer crowds!

Nowhere near the numbers as Franklin... or Valentinas... or Heim... or, well you get the idea. Just some of us who are friends!!!

It seems like they think there's some funny business as there are 3 levels of confirming your vote now.
I can imagine they want a firm final answer. I tried to sneak in a "2nd vote" last round by using my cell instead of my computer, and it wouldn't let me vote...CDub06 said:

In Fort Worth for the weekend and want to hit up Heim tomorrow. What are the crowds like? What time should I get there?
You should also consider Panther if they're open!

There are also two locations now. The only time I've been to heim was late (7:30/8:00ish). Line was probably 20 deep, but quick
Edit: they were out of ribs, but still had sausage, brisket, and burnt ends

Heim was pretty good. Brisket wasn't anything special, but the ribs, jalapeo cheddar sausage, bacon burnt ends were all very good. No line right when they opened but it got pretty crowded by the time we left.
Isn't it crazy how good "nothing special" brisket has become? I know what you mean. A lot of places are putting out a good prime brisket seasoned with salt and pepper, which makes it hard to stand out. But if one of these places was doing this same brisket 10 years ago, they'd be kings.
Snows beat out Brett's Backyard 55% to 45%. Great run by Brett's!
