The pastrami at Katz’ is phenomenal. Okay, I said it. HOWEVER, just returned from an exploratory trip to find great smoked beef in Montreal. This is the Holy Grail. Returned the following day. #TikTok

Thanks. I don’t need much convincing to travel to Austin anytime to cook with @bbqfranklin. Heck, I’d go back for just the coffee!.
@BBQPitmasters rewatching you @bbqfranklin make brisket while you drink coffee from your Stumptown mug thinking there needs to be a season 2.

Okay, I think I finally figured this out. The lesson here is: look for a good brisket that is totally defrosted.

There is no such a thing as a left-handed brisket. It’s a left-hooved brisket.
@Grillocracy @meathead @BBQCentralShow @kitsci @SlapYoDaddyBBQ @girlscangrill @RoegelsBarbecue @BBQNewsMagazine @BBQPitmasters @OpBBQRelief Alright, enough messing around here. I need to know that honest-to-God truth here: is the left-handed brisket story true, or just a funny myth?.

Just like comedy. You want it to bend, but not break.

This is New York. Am in the waiting room at the podiatrist’s. PODIATRIST’S. I overhear the receptionist answer the phone, listen a beat, then reply, “No, if you’re in a wheelchair, this office is not wheelchair accessible.” No, I don’t love New York.

Pleasure’s all mine. And, aside from one or two bad apples, this is a wonderful community. Thank you.
@BaseballandBBQ @BBQPitmasters loved your interview on @BaseballandBBQ. Such great stories! Your contributions to BBQ have had great influence on me. Thank you.

Yes, and I loved an even earlier version of the series with Chris Lilly, where we made pitmasters cook on the same model cookers, same wood, exact same cuts. Now THAT is competitive ‘que!.
@BBQPitmasters In my opinion, the best shows were: "Here is your stack of blocks, some grate, and a select brisket and grocery store rack of ribs. You have 12 hours. Good luck." You learned who really knew how to cook.

Beautiful. Damn, you know, you just made me wish I’d had kids.
@meathead I wanna smoke 12+ hrs but I have 2 kids under three. But I love bbq so I"cheat" with sous vide, liquid smoke, an oven. I think it turns out great, hits all the spots and everyone else loves it and I cook for people from Memphis and KC. If you do anything right and care, it's good.

Spent thousands of hours, either cooking or shooting the tv show. I have watched pitmasters w/the finest trucks, fastest thermometers, stainless pits hung w/bells &whistles, smoking gleaming prime Wagyu’s. And their food is crap. Just make it good, goddammit, nothin else matters.
Of course not. I am just pointing out that the snobbery around liquid smoke is silly. I spent 20 years in the wine world as syndicated wine critic for the Washington Post and I see wine-like snobbery growing rapidly in BBQ. Snobbery about gas grills, pellet smokers, thermometers,.
