White Bread WTF??

[Homercidal]

This place near me also basically just does BBQ and "Sides", which is Beans, Cole Slaw, Potato Salad, and Maque Choux. But the potato salad is Bleu Cheese potato Salad. I'm not positive, but I'm guessing that's not the traditional Texas Potato Salad?

In any case, the place smells fantastic and the food look fantastic as well. The Pulled Pork sandwich my wife got was REALLY good. I got a small slice off the side and went back to finish up her portion for her, and it was all gone. They had a sweet/spicy sauce on the side for dipping and it was fantastic as well, although the pork was tasty without too.

I'm planning a dinner date for as soon as possible to go see The Martian and get BBQ.

Yeah. I looked. They've apparently just opened two locations in Tulsa. Originated in Stillwater.

They had a location in Olathe where I lived at the time but to me it didn't taste as good as the gas station. When I wanted OK Joe's I drove up to the gas station. I'm wondering if the other "outlets" will be as good as well.

I bbq restaurateur once told me not to trust any bbq meat that *comes* slathered in bbq sauce. Good bbq doesn't need any sauce.

That is a bbq rule I live by.

That said, this guys meat was completely dry and inedible without a bottle of sauce... But still a good bbq goal every time I fire up the smoker.

I never knew anyone could eat BBQ without white bread and onions. That just ain't right!

 

[Melana]

Sauce should be on the side for dipping if desired. The best brisket that i've had in a very long time was at Masstoberfest two weeks ago. @paulthenurse has some mad skills for a Yankee.

 

[rmarshall100]

It's how it is done. Order you up some cornbread on the side and ignore the white bread if you don't like it.

I'd rather have spicy pickled carrots than onion.

 

[Melana]

Great, thanks guys. Now I want BBQ and pickles.

Yowzers...

Is that a box of sauce? Can you get some BBQ to go with that?

Ha. My thought was "is that where you found it?"

Looks like brisket and buffalo sauce. Blech to the buffalo sauce.

Only read the first part of thread, but in eastern NC if you don't have hush puppies or corn bread, then white bread (cotton bread as my wife puts it) is considered just as good if not better. I can go either way and not complain. As a side bar, white bread is really good with fish stew for the "soping" capability. (Of course fish stew could have its own forum)

yeah it's a lot wetter than usual. donno why. I purposely had it sauced, "outside" meat is by definition pretty dry.

and no it's not buffalo sauce altho it's their hotter sauce.

no brisket. bark from shoulder.

 

[thekraken]

The first time, this is what I thought.

They offer their brisket lean or moist. Lean is with the fat trimmed away.

I've only ever ordered the moist. And they cut away all the bark.

When I walked in the had a slab of brisket on the cutting board waiting for orders, it had the whole fat cap and its bark already separated. The underside of the meat still had it's bark and they were still serving with the remaining bark. When I asked about they asked if I wanted extra bark so I said sure why not. They put that meat away and grabbed a fresh brisket out of the oven. They carved off some burnt ends from the point end. These things were dry as a bone and the bark tasted like Kingsford charcoal.

 

[GrogNerd]

from what it sounds like, "bark" sounds the same as "burnt ends"

y'all Texans and Kansas Citians can correct me if I'm wrong.

and remember Grog's Rules for Food #3 – it’s Carolina-style for pulled pork, Texas for brisket, Memphis for chicken and Kansas City for ribs

It's actually TX for all 4, but thanks for playing.

 

[Melana]

Smokin' Guns has hands down the best burnt ends.

... the bark tasted like Kingsford charcoal.

Ha. This may be why the one here cuts it all off.

Not exactly. Bark refers to the black crust on the entire exterior of the meat. Burnt ends can be a couple things but I think of it as the *burnt* corner chunks of the meat that I chomp on while I'm carving the rest of the meat for everyone else. I've seen some places sell burnt ends where they take the point muscle, chop it up into 1" cubes or so, and brown up the remaining sides in a frying pan and serve smothered in a sauce.

If you're going to get the goods, get them all in the same place. No sense in driving all over the country.

Exactly. I know what I'm talking about here, too. I live a block from my towns oldest BBQ joint. Burning mesquite is my signature scent.

 

[Melana]

BBQ cologne is a dead sexy scent. Just saying.

We Southerners sometimes do things that other people find weird or funny.

I like using corn-cobs on my coals for a smoking medium when making BBQ.

 

[Roadie]

Better than pickles and strawberries if you get my meaning!

Cobs from sweet corn or field corn; or does it matter? I can't remember the last time I smelled burning cobs.


BTW: Pliny the Elder says "Sutor, ne ultra crepidam" in regards to your signature statement...

[Homercidal]

Well, I had the Ribs. White bread was *REALLY* plain. It didn't taste bad as much as it didn't taste like anything. Kind of useless IMO.

Their Blue Cheese potato salad was also fairly flavorless.

Beans were Texas style and pretty good and the ribs themselves were awesome.

The have another side called Mache Choux. I might try that next time instead of the potato salad.

That's a crime against burnt ends.
