the notin of smoking a pork shoulder or pork ribs is lost on these idiots...they would rather cook a piece of beef for 5 hours and call it "brisket". I told em we cook beef too...for about 5 min on each side...and we call it an angus filet...

there is a joint in Leander, just North of Austin, called Coker's BBQ that actually does Brisket that is worth eating. Don't know how and don't really care, but it is very good BBQ.

You can cook a crummy cut of beef like the brisket for a long time until it tastes all right. But it ain't barbecue.

I'd almost go so far as to say that if it's not pulled pork, it's not barbecue. But the greatest barbecue I've ever eaten is the sliced pork at Ridgewood in the dumpy little burg of Bluff City, Tennessee, so I guess my mind's not completely closed on the subject.

Don't get me wrong...I've had good brisket. It would just never occur to me to cook a piece of beef for 5 hours. Of course, they don't understand why we would eat pork over beef...I tell em that's why we're from the South...and they just aren't...

Absolutely. There's nothing southern about a bunch of suburban wanna-be cowboys eating Mexican food and smoked cow.

Texas killed Kennedy and gave us Johnson and two Bushes in return. Nothing more needs to be said about the crap state.

My wife is from JC, so I have to make the familial pilgrimage up there a couple of times a year. She finally got around to taking me out to Ridgewood just last year; I could kill her for wasting all those other trips up there for the last decade and a half. I'd have bitched about visiting the in-laws a lot less over the years if I'd been promised two Ridgewood meals per visit.

How ironic...but at this point, I would rather discuss pork vs beef, than the current state of our FB team..

Same here. It's sad.
