Good. That's cool. How was the food? I used to live in Pflugerville, but left right before they opened up.

Everything is excellent. Honestly, better than the last time I was here.

Heading to Brotherton's at 12PM if anyone wants to meet-up for some BBQ.

I met him last year and talked about A&M and his BBQ UNIVERSITY he puts on in Aggieland.

Hope to see a few people there.

Damn I want to try some of the sensei's sausage. That looks so good! What kind of sausage was that?

Rest In Peace, John. He was a great representative of Pflugerville and its people. He will be missed by many.

If beef cheeks is around anywhere… going to be in town this weekend and was hoping to come by and try things out. I know in the past he's mentioned 10:00 would probably be the absolute latest you should get there to get in line. That's probably not quite as necessary in the cold right? I wouldn't mind waiting in it, but I can't imagine the rest of my group would be thrilled about waiting an hour in 40 degrees this weekend

That's a correct assumption. I'd imagine there will be a short line at 11am this Saturday.

Daniel gathered a ton of John Brotherton "testimonials". It's definitely worth a read. He will certainly be missed.

There are hundreds of folks not mentioned in that article that could share a story of John helping or encouraging/supporting them. He was a special guy. He'll be missed dearly.

Not Top 50, but pretty damn good.

Choche's BBQ in Eagle Pass.

Supposedly he's friends with Ernest from Burnt Bean in Seguin, and he's helped him out.

Ribs were perfectly tender. Brisket was perfectly tender too, with well rendered fat. The only change that I would have like to see is heavier seasoning and bark.

Demeris BBQ in Houston today - figured would try it since been around for 60 years and has good ratings. Thought would be good/decent for non craft bbq.

It was pretty terrible. Dickey's BBQ level stuff.

I had bbq from my work cafeteria yesterday and almost posted it. Guarantee it was much better than that. Woof.

Yeeeeaaaah Demaris is… trash.

Speaking of trash BBQ… stopped at Woody's Smokehouse today to let the wife use the restroom on our trek to Dallas. Figured I'd grab a bite. I made a severe mistake. It was absolutely terrible.

I'd had it years ago and couldn't really remember much about it. Since I'm boycotting Buc-ee's due to their lack of pickles and onions being offered, I rode past Madisonville with my nose in the air. I regret my snootiness now.

I travel the state a lot for work, and 1 thing I've learned is that there are A LOT of BBQ places that have been in business for many years and they are putting out terrible BBQ. I don't understand how they are still going, but somehow they are.

The grey barbecue that most places served prior to the current 'cue revolution is generally just not that good. The bar has been raised so much in the last 20 years.
