OK, time I fessed up that I called this TD category over guilt at being present at Groundhog's ground wagyu brisket burger gathering.
Last weekend I cooked up two packers for different events (one for my wife's ladies gathering and the other for a co-worker's b-day) with the intention of getting some pics for this TD:
11+ lbs on the bottom and a 14+ lbs on top (no foil on either):
separating the point from the flat to make burnt ends:
then I found out the hard way that it is a bit difficult to get a bunch of pics when you need to slice & serve right away and I didn't get good pics on the first one (it was a bit overcooked anyway).
The one for the co-worker was heated up the next AM and served in the office:
I found it surprising how tender & juicy it came out despite the pic above not showing it.
Feeling like brisket hadn't been appreciated enough yet, I picked up a 15.5 pounder and cooked it this AM:
cut up the point, added some rub & sauce and threw it back on:
after a couple hours rest in a heated cooler, I pulled out the flat & sliced it:
In an attempt to show some true appreciation for brisket, I put a few slices on a plate and added some burnt ends and bacon-wrapped burnt ends:
and since brother Gore is unable to participate this round, I thought I'd put up a fork to let him know his presence is missed in this one:
Chris - Please use the last pic as my entry (unless Gore and his fork find a way to enter in which case please pick between the forkless heart and the sliced flat pic). Thanks!
I think I've over-appreciated brisket a bit and I'm ready for a nap now. :yawn:
