Over the years with many moves, I have adopted a couple of “must haves” for a new location. First and foremost, there must be a good barbeque place - notice I did not say restaurant. Remember, ribs are the most important food group.
When we moved to East Texas, I expected to find some really good barbeque. Boy, was I disappointed. I’m still searching, after three years. There was one place that wasn’t bad, but it sold out and the new owner must have learned to barbeque from some website.
Yes, it is not easy to cook a brisket correctly. Think low heat, good smoke and 12 to 15 hours. But, the place that wasn’t bad, actually pressure cooks the meat and then puts it in a pit for a few minutes. Sure it makes the meat tender - mushy. Brisket is not supposed to be mushy.
There’s only one word for cooking like that. Sacrilege.
Not even the Pope, a head Iman, a Baptist preacher and two Pentecostal TV evangelist can convince God to forgive that.
