That's the weirdest looking brisket I've ever seen. Did you cut a whole in half?

Sadly, when I defrosted it the cryo leaked like a sieve and the meat stunk like shit.

Just what I wanted to hear. Do we have a burger thread? Anyone typically grind their own? I've ready where some people have gone full brisket, others a blend w/ various cuts.

All Things Brisket
Warm up your neg cannons.....I am prepared for the punishment When cleaning out my deep freezer yesterday, I found a Costco prime brisket...from 3/17..(for $2.79/lb!) I'm trying to figure out what to do with it, but I suppose my first question should be - is it still good? Cryo bag seems to be fine, doesn't look like there is any frost in the bag. I was thinking about grinding up some meat for burgers as we are having some buddies over NY day for lunch. I wasn't planning on doing full brisket but is it possible with this well aged (joke) brisket? Or will it just taste like ass?

Asking for a friend. What would you do w the leftover bones of a prime rib post cook? Sounds like we're neighbors. I live right down the road from it.

Just wondering if this works here. Cross posted from the xmas thread. Reverse seared. Salted 3 days prior w butter, pepper, thyme, sage, rosemary, paprika rub the day of. Everyone from Texas loved it and the yanks didn't even touch it (even more prime rib sandwiches coming my way)

What about just gluing a chalk plate or something on the front side so he can write down what it is but still see the grain around the tap?

New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
Ok. I've officially booked a weekend in NOLA Feb 14-17. My wife will be there all week for her conference but will be free starting Friday around 10 AM. I don't really know what's going on that weekend but a bunch of flights and hotels are all sold out. I'll be staying with my wife at the Intercontinental in the business district until Friday when we check into the ALOFT off Canal. The bad news is that I have like a 7 AM flight out of DAL, but the good news is I get into MSY around 8:30! I'm working on narrowing a list of places to hit up while we're there (been 3x before), but welcome all new recs in between the airport and in/around the business district for lunch. Also, I have Thursday all by myself, so I'm trying to figure out what to do other than get hammered drunk -- which is a good fallback plan. I thought about going to a cooking class and saw the recommendation further upthread and was curious if anyone else had any experience doing a cooking class while there? Any other recommendations of shit to do?

F Cancer, chapter a jillion and one
We got some pretty bad news this week. One of our closest friends, the matron of honor in our wedding, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33. I suppose she was lucky in that she found out by getting a bruise checked out from her daughter kicking her in the boob while playing. A CT flagged a couple of spots in her spine so she's getting a MRI to verify what they are. She starts chemo next week, following by surgery and radiation. We have a very closeknit group of about 6 or so couples. We are banding together to provide car packages and what not throughout her treatment. All of us are local DFW folk except for the friend getting treatment, who has recently relocated to Austin with her family. My question to this group is - what are some good items to include in care packages? Of course, there are restaurant gift cards and the like but I'm wondering what other things we may not be thinking of. Both of there families are with them right now so we can some time to organize for the following months.

Would the weekend of February 14th be a shitty time to go to NOLA? I'm trying to piggy back on my wife's work trip but it appears a lot of the flights and hotels are sold out. I know they have all the parades and everything but is it enough were we couldn't get into the restaurants and bars or at least get any reservations? The whole reason we're going is to eat.

Favorite Breakfast Casserole, Strata, Whatever
Breakfast casseroles never existed in my childhood. My dad always made breakfast on the weekends but it consisted of eggs prepared a variety of ways, pancakes, french toast, oatmeal, etc, etc, etc. I didn't realize the greatness of breakfast casseroles or stratas until a post-college trip to Napa and it was outstanding. Despite their deliciousness, I've never attempted to make one b/c I never have enough people to feed, but it looks like this upcoming holiday will change that. So, what are your treasured family stratas, casseroles, or whatever? Chilaquiles and the like are delicious and welcome as well, but I'm personally looking for the former.

Apparently, I should feel bad about this. Yelp is my main go to when looking for reviews.

Surly Dad Thread
18 month old has some kind of cold and ear infection. We got some strong abx from the pediatrician but our biggest obstacle is her vomiting from the amount of phlegm she's coughing up and swallowing. How long does this shit last and does anyone have any recs of how to get through it?
