Brisket UN-appreciation thread - Page 22

Grain Belt · 12-20-2011, 02:43 PM

I'm sorry. I'm just a northern boy who likes to dabble with smoke on his old weber kettle but I have to respectfully disagree with this thread. I have visited Texas numerous times and when I get my big old meathooks on a good brisket sammich it is something extremely special and can't be put into a "boneless, skinless, tasteless, chicken" category.

Behind my uncle's place there was a "party ranch" that used to be a working cattle ranch but had a subdivision spring up around it. So the owners turned their job into putting on parties for really rich folks. I would get to tour their massive pits and help them stack up cords of east texas pecan. If the brisket that came off those old-school pits wasn't special than I don't know what is.

I'm going to unconditionally forgive you, due to the fact you are probably a Vikings fan

I like brisket for sure, but if it was between brisket, ribs or pulled pork I would go for the pork every time.

You can teach me how to cook it, but you can't make me like it

I see now. But then I figured Californians would just put some avacados on it and call it good.

Brisket is fatty just like TT.
If i cook the brisket like a TT, will it get juicy and tender?

Grain Belt · 12-20-2011, 10:46 PM

Damn right I'm a Vikings fan. When we were 15-1 a few years

back, brisket was good and now that we are 2-whatever, brisket is still

good.
