Costco sells a prime two pack. It’s the whole sirloin cap and is labeled as such.

After the kids were potty trained, we dropped Costco. I absolutely can not deal with the crowds there. Especially the idiots that stop in the middle of the aisle.

Plus this is a local family run butcher shop. Would love to support them.

Although I am curious if my ghetto ass HEB has it.

Anyone have a banana pudding recipe? Didn’t think it warranted a new thread.

Yeah, sorry Austin/inner city snobs, but that hasn’t been “deep south Austin” for years.

Is Hyde Park "far north Austin" because both are equidistant from Town Lake. 

I'm stoked about the L&L location. 2 miles from my house and I won't have to deal with the Cosmic cluster fuck.

 I would go again but skip the brisket.

This has become what I do regularly. Stopped at Helberg west of Waco and got a single slice of brisket just to try it but got the pork steak and a side plus drink special and it was the best thing I got. That pork steak was great. The brisket was solid and the ribs were really good. Weren't too soft like some places, had a little bite to them. I'll head back when heading south again to get that pork steak.

I disagree that Reese Bros is not worth ordering. I think it is every bit as good as 2M, which I love.

Overall, these are my 10 favorite spots, in no particular order (not that anyone asked or cares):


Truth
Brisket & Rice
Leroy & Lewis
Burnt Bean
Tejas
Reese Bros
Valentina’s
Butter’s
2M
Lavaca (although my pops said last time he went he was disappointed, need to confirm)

I need to make trying Brisket & Rice a priority.

Probably going tomorrow or Friday.

Remember they are closed Monday and Tuesday. Dead shank tried to stop by without checking. FAFO.

Thanks for the heads-up. Was looking at my calendar and was thinking Monday might be a good day. 

I saw Two Bros featured on a food show today.  I'm heading to San Antonio for business next month -- are they worth a lunch?

Pitmasters and barbers populate local muni goat ranch golf  courses on Mondays.  You know that.  

Two Bros is definitely worth hitting up.  I was there a few weeks ago.  You can click on my avatar and profile and scroll back through my posts and see my pics and report.  Pretty good stuff.

True. Was just hoping they might be an exception since they're new.

Stiles switch never disappoints, especially when you get to the cashier and she covers the credit card with her hand and says,'Thank you, have a nice day.'

I have no idea why it was free, and I didn't ask.

Everything was great, especially the ribs and their brussels are like crack.4e5544bb004773fdc393c531df378ae2.jpg

Damn it, forgot 1701 in Beaumont from my list. But who doesn’t forget Beaumont, am I right? So too 11 spots, just to be wild and crazy. Unless Lavaca truly has fallen off.

True. Was just hoping they might be an exception since they're new.

Hurtado is open 11-9 7 days a week which concerns me as much as them expanding to a shit location in Ft Worth.

Geezus, trying to serve good BBQ 70 hours a week sounds like bad idea jeans.

They also have a space slinging Q at Rangers home games inside the stadium.  Hours may vary.

Brisket and Rice again. 4th time and again, amazing lunch. I talked to Hong about Daniel stopping by as we had previously talked about the hope of him noticing them. He let me know the article came out yesterday:

https://www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/brisket-and-rice/

Really happy for them. It was pretty busy when I was there at 11-11:30, but no real line. Three slices of delicious brisket and they threw in several burnt ends. So goddamn good. I told him I told a bunch of assholes online to visit. He laughed. Y’all need to come through.

Forgot to mention, as of today, their price for brisket is $30/lbs. That is $4-5 less than the top spots in town.

I saw they also have a spot out at Globe Life Field. I’m sure it won’t be good as when they were at their original location and all but you damn sure know I’m gonna try their brisket elotes the next time I go to a Rangers game.

I don’t see y’all northerners talk much about Zavala anymore. Still good?

Zavala’s continues to up their game. A fine joint that is focused on his craft and doesn’t seem to be looking to become the next Rudy’s. In our sea of great joints I often forget him; I’m headed over tomorrow for lunch based on your post.

True.  Seems he focusing more on his one location and then trying to get their rubs and sauces on shelves.  I know his wifes coffee shop/breakfast taco place moved just down the street.  That may be all they want on their plate at this time.  I've never been to Zavalas but from all accounts Joe is a really good dude. 

There are cabinet smokers, and then there are.... cabinet smokers.

What’s the name of his wife’s joint? I’ve never been at Zavalas for the breakfast tacos but wanted to try.

I love his sausages because he keeps them on the smoke longer than most so the fat is rendered and they are well charred and snappy. Too many joints don’t leave their sausage on the fire long enough.

Best options for midweek between Dallas and Houston that won’t have much of a line?

That's a wasteland as far as I know.

Leave an hour or two early and hit corkscrew. That’s really the only option worth a shit. Not sure on mid week line.

Or maybe Killen’s in the Woodlands.

I love fresh banana pudding but I don’t like the cookies getting mushy or bananas turning black. So I deconstruct and make it as I serve it.

My wife makes a killer vanilla custard or just make a batch of jello pudding. I also like it with peanut butter cookies, either homemade or store bought. I have made with nutter butters to if you like super sweet. I stir my bananas with lime juice and sugar. Can make real whipped cream or stir up some extra creamy cool whip.

Get your bowls. Layer pudding, bananas, cookies, cream as many stacks as you want. Eat.

I  break the nilla wafers up into small chunks.  Not ground into dust, but broken up enough to where you can grab a handful and put them in the bottom of a ramekin as the base layer.  Very thinly sliced bananas go next, then pudding, then cool whip.  Pudding is made in advance and put in the fridge for an hour or two, assembly is done immediately before serving.  Doing it in individual ramekins means you can make more pudding than you need and make individual portions very easily whenever you want to that have non-soggy nilla wafers and fresh bananas.

Schoepfs has pretty good bbq now. They have made some changes in the past couple of years including using oak for the wood.

May be going to Reese Bros in the AM...how is the line situation if I get there at like 1030 or closer to 11? Haha

I have never been on a Saturday, but I haven’t seen a line of more than 5 deep around 11. I’m jealous.

Yes, they are in Belton. Miller’s in Belton is good too.

Yeah my bad, had Dallas to Austin on the brain.
