making a magical brisket for 30 Texans! my Lord!! I can't 'splain anymore than saying "Magic" is what it says. Just like sex. There are 3 types of briskets: The magical ones The mistakes And everything else just like Sex. my Lord!
let me ask you this. If you are a vegetarian and break down to eat this magical brisket: what does that feel like. That magical brisket turned 3 vegetarians last night. I did not think that was possible. it's like turning a lesbian around.
I smoked a magic brisket on my first try. It was heaven. It made me question my career. When you think about quitting it all to do BBQ full-time, that's when you know you have achieved magic. Damn, too bad I can't run a smoker at my apartment. Mmmm.
oh, i forgot to say that having sex with a Texan is something to do. There are 3 types? lol well, i think i've made 100 briskets. this was #7...on the magic meter. I won't forget this baby for a couple weeks. just like sex so, Wangdoodle...lol...it's so perfect to respond to someone called Wangdoodle. The rub is not that big of a deal. Behad told me what to do. Basically it is: Paprika, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder and Onion Powder. NO SALT!!! that's why you have to mix it yourself. Behad says rub yellow mustard on it first. He is spot on on that. Just cheap yellow mustard. Do this only right before you put it on the fire. No need to do anything beforehand.
btw: do you know Monica Pope is fronting a bbq joint on Washington...next to the Pig Stand's place. That's the word on the street. Ms Wine and Food best new chef on the year winner is going to go brisket.
I've smoked both the best and worst brisket I've ever had. Over cook it or under cook it and it's terrible. I've switched to pork butt. It's much more forgiving and is usually much better. I used to smoke without salt, but I've found i prefer it with salt in the rub.
yeah, salt with pork butt is fine. I actually made Boston Butt yesterday too. My friend brought it over to take advantage of the fire. I didn't get to taste it though, but it looked awesome. My neighbor who used to work with Monica Pope told me once last year: Don't make a pork butt with your brisket....it will still the show! lol
There used to be a place in Galena Park Texas. Called Xach's.....middle aged african-American man ran it. The ribs were soooo amazingly tender. You could crush the bone into powder by squeezing it between your thumb and forefinger with a minimal amount of pressure. The flavor was just decadent. Amazing...smoky and sweet. Its been about 4 months since I have been intimate with a woman. But if I had a choice between a couple hours with an average looking woman or a full rack of those ribs....I would have to think about it.
