So, what makes that tray of meat "wait all morning" worthy?

Is it just a self perpetuating knobslob of people that wait on line and then justify it by saying it's sooooo good that you need to wait so people wait and the whole process just snowballs? Or is there *really* something that great about it?

I genuinely don't get it.

EDIT: Or is it just *good* but it's supply and demand. Low production == high cost (of time waiting).

y'all better stop subtexting on my account! my derp doesn't carry over multiple days!

Is that it?

I looked and saw the cook guy is a Beard winner. Which I guess counts for something in cooking circles... But it's smoked meat!

So mostly hype then? Not to discredit his product, and that's fair enough reason for some people to be down with it, but I guess I'm safe not putting this one on my bucket list then?

In my limited experience with good BBQ...

Smoked meat doesn't differ all that much from place to place. It's the portion sizes and price point that draw people in.

I have a hard time believing that food wise, one smokehouse is a 10, while another is a 5, unless there's some seriously questionable stuff happening. If anything, it's the difference of being a 9 or a 10, with again, price point and portions that make the difference.

One thing that does vary is the BBQ sauce. Making a good slaw, cornbread, fries, etc, isn't rocket science though.

quality of meat, type of smoke, length of smoking process.. etc etc.

I think there's a lot more to it and as such, I respect their art..


you apologize to all the hard working amuricans slaving over the pits right now TACO!!

TacoBello

Again, going back to what I said about one place being a 5 and another a 10. I'm talking about good smokehouses only. I'm not comparing a mcdonalds cheeseburger to a $15 restaurant burger.

Fresh, locally sourced ingredients are always a hit (and rightfully so).

<p>even mcdonalds &nbsp;is feeling the heat, they are moving to better quality food.&nbsp;</p>

TacoBello

I agree. But are you willing to stand in line for 4 hours because of different wood chips? Quality of meat and smoke time is definitely important.

TacoBello

It's funny you say that.. I've heard their sales have gone down a bit because of this move. Everyone associates mcdonalds with shit. Ain't nobody want quality from McDonald's

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

<p>on the contrary, the current quality of mcdonalds put them there. MCD like subway did not innovate while Rest of America said; fuck cheap food.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>oh wait, you're canadian, maybe you like cheap food&nbsp;</p>

Mizouse

It's the demand too, once they sell out they're done for the day.

TacoBello

Heard it on the financial news brief awhile back on the radio said sales slipped a bit after they had the new and improved menu out for awhile.

People weren't buying into the better product and increased prices for the better product. I wonder if that has turned around since.

thoiboi

hell to the no!



1 hour maybe..


I'm just saying don't discredit them taco
I'm sure there are people willing to wait 4 hours and for them i say, "to each their own.."



it's just like when i see some guys choice on sexual partners... .












i mean it's not my business and all but what do they see in women...??

R U FKING KIDDING ME.. you don't know abut fking Franklins...

He fucking has his own TV show now and has cameos in movies.. Aaron Franklin started a BBQ renaissance. He's not a pioneer, he's just methodical about his craft meats. He always picks the best beef and uses the science of the smoke to create some seriously delicious smoked meats brah.

Regular BBQ connoisseurs will argue whether it's worth the wait.. If you just want your fill of good BBQ.. no it's not. If you want to experience the peak of TX BBQ, and if years of eating burnt ends haven't killed all your tastebuds in your mouth yet, then it's at least worth waiting in line once.

People wait in line, because he only cooks a certain amount of meat to ensure quality day in and day out. At the end of the day, no meat, no eat. People want to get in on that. Now if you go to Black's.. they'll fucking laugh you out of town if you ask them if they have meat. They always have meat. Is it as quality as Franklin's.. debatable, but they've been doing it for over 100 years like others fine BBQ joints around central TX.

I think several craft meat joints like Franklin's only do a certain quantity a day and run out, but Franklin's has the buzz brah! Get in line fool!

Every fucking eMag worth the paper to wipe your ass with that is.. In fact, thrillist doesn't even recommend Franklin's anymore because of the line. They hardly acknowledge it's existence.. just tell you to go to La Barbecue or others now..

Franklin's is indeed good, but not my fav, and not worth the wait IMO. If you've never truly eaten good TX BBQ and you're a hipster douche or connie chung.. it's worth the wait. I like small town charm BBQ joints.. the beef might be a little chewier, but you fucking feel country AF, not douchey AF.

Let me stop you right there before you drivel about some sub-standard BBQ joint..


Let me stop you right there and tell you to shut your lady trap..

Made it in the slow cooker on Sunday but made enough for an army. Also I should say saag chicken because mostly chicken, but it has paneer in it. Whatev, still delicious.

His fucking name is Taco Bell.. hello?!

Welcome Maj..



i think you missed the sarcasm in both :pb: and my posts..


I was definitely not saying Phil's is 'good bbq' in the least. I'm just saying the bandwagoning friends I have that don't know better are going so I am being a good friend and accompanying them

Here at Taco Bell.. we ensure 15% of your ground beef is actually meat.

.. and some of that meat.. is actually beef.

According to McD all their beef is beef. 100% of it. Who would have thought??

when you have to spend a bunch of money to try and convince people things are the way they should be... you gotta wonder...

Majofo

You dummy :pb:

100% beef.. but not 100% beef patty. They're saying the meat they actually use in a patty (not all meat) is 100% from a cow.
