BBQ Bretheren,
Can I get your thoughts on some brisket I got this weekend:
I went to a local BBQ chain & ordered 1lb. Server was pushing chopped but I asked for sliced. The slices were thick, falling apart & a bit on the dry side. I said to him that it appears over cooked. I was then told “it’s called bark” and that they smoke their meat. At this point I just shut up and took my order.
I’m no expert on smoking brisket but are those not the tell tale signs of when it’s over cooked?
Here is a shot of the slices I was served. Mind you I had not touched them yet - this is how the slices were cut in front of me & served:
“My server told me what was good, but I didn’t listen.” Those don’t look like sliced, it looks chopped. Maybe that’s all they really do there.
