The Gear Page is such a garbage forum.

One other thing is I save the grease runoff and freeze it for use with venison and other meals throughout the year. It really builds the flavors.

Still, I'll have maybe what amounts to a few hours of work into enough meat to last three plus people for a week of meals. Brisket sliced, brisket sandwiches, brisket chili, brisket tacos. And I'm in it for maybe $70...so, less than $10 per day. Even at inflated prices it's still a good deal.


That's strange to me. I would put a really good brisket up against a really good steak. Maybe you just haven't had good brisket. IME there is a ton of shitty brisket, even here in Texas. I've been to a couple places where it was little more than half assed roast beef.

Well it's possible, but just like squirrel and rabbit and duck, I have had many people tell me " You just haven't had it done right", to which I have always replied, " Do it right and change my mind". Many have tried, but no one has succeeded. I am 100% Missouri boy. Show Me.


I also dislike prime rib.

I will admit even Bogarts/Pappys/Adams brisket is pretty average. I can make some killer brisket. But I go the way Von does, high pepper, low and slow and controlled and wrap.

Lol, maybe it's just not your thing. I love prime rib.....

I find that a really good brisket and really well smoked salmon are pretty much my two favorite foods as they are bordering on being like candy. Intense savory flavors. A friend grabbed some brisket a couple months ago during our blues fest planning from the big Blacks in New Braunfels. I hadn't had that good of bbq joint brisket in a couple years. It's on the level of french cuisine or something. I realized how much my smoker game is missing, lol.

I stood in line at Pappy's once. For like 25 minutes. I was not impressed and have no plans to ever return.

That's definitely the case with squirrel, rabbit and duck. I simply don't care for the taste. Brisket doesn't taste bad to me it's just way too fatty for me.

I'm not a huge fan of salmon but I'll eat it. I like trout well enough I suppose, but I almost always catch and release. I just like fly fishing. If I'm fishing for food I'll be using an ultralight spinning reel and trying to catch crappie and bluegill. Or I'm catfishing. From the edge of my yard.

It's a long story but my buddy started a craft beer bar down in Soulard, right by Bogarts. As you know, Pappys and Bogarts are owned by the same group. Well, after time, the quality of the BBQ has diminished greatly for whatever reason. I can absolutely destroy almost everyone in this city on BBQ (unless the old owner of Smokie O's challenges me, then I will bow down) but yeah man...we have taken a step back as a BBQ city in my humble opinion. I believe there are 3-4 places now that you can even get proper snoots.

I did some work at Smokie O's. I recall the food being excellent. I used to roll around the hood every day with an ol' boy from Kinloch named OT and he took me ( this was some years back) to what he said was the only place left for proper snoots. He said the trick was to degrease them properly. I couldn't tell you what it was called but it was on Natural Bridge not too far south of the county.

You remember White Barn on Chambers and 367? I grew up right up the hill. I think they are still open.

You'd probably like the flat section better. A lot less fat. Pretty lean actually. I love the point and fattier thick front section more myself, and we always get fatty back when I go to the BBQ joint, which is usually on birthdays cause I get my choice of a free black's bbq hat or t-shirt lol. There is kent blacks and terry blacks, family that is at war with each other in the regional brisket business. Their two BBQ's are line of sight with each other down in New Braunfels....literal brisket wars, LMAO.

 

[Harry Dunne]

Smoked brisket is my favorite, but I just love bbq. I’ll take good bbq over a steak any day.

 

[IndyWS6]

I have never had brisket that I liked.

I have, but in my defense, I was stupidly hungry at the time and, probably, buzzed. Don’t judge me…

I like prime rib. I have cooked more than a few that were epic. Each time, I would have preferred that we were eating rib eye steak. I’m pretty much done with prime rib at this point.

I'll give up the secret, if I get caught I'll handle it. They parboiled them in saltwater until they started gettin geletin-like on the ends. Then they put them on trays and dried them out with towels or whatever. Then they did the dry rub and smoked them forever. Then right at serving...some would toss them in the fryer, some wouldn't. I liked the crispy fried version, because it became that of a cichirone and then, add the bbq sauce after. Some let them rest in bbq sauce for hours and they lost the needed crispness and became quite gummy.

Oh yeah. I got a buddy who lives near there and I worked in those neighborhoods around Bellefontaine Neighbors a lot.

You're so full of piss and vinegar and bent out of shape you couldn't see it as a humorous post and you then, as usual, go on taking swipes at me.

You missed the emojis
You missed the words entertaining, funny, a ton of entertainment, you'll warm to them etc...
You missed the humor about the lynching but there are no trees here
You missed The Resident Retard

You're so pissed you can't read or comprehend straight. I think the only time you'd have a funny bone in your body is if @Picasso was up your ass with his cock.

Take a step back, rub your nuts and give your semen pump a tug and see how you feel then.

Aaaaand there it is.

 

[84superchamp]

No...I'm the person ramming sorry assholes if you've forgotten.

Aaaaand there it is. Gay sex anyone?

One thing I miss about working in N. STL. The food. And it was never boring.

I grew up there my whole life. My opinion
Best Pizza: Tie. Cusamano's in Glasgow or Ponticellos in Spanish Lake. Dude, it was so fun, I went to Danforth and we would ride our bikes all the way down in Baden and hang out. Half of my friends dads were G'd up as fuck so we just rolled around and then went back home. I used to lay on the grounds of the Daniel Bissell house looking up at the old growth trees. I still can find beauty in the area, but it's probably blinded by good memories.
