I think they’ve been doing whole hog on sundays (I’d check their Instagram for confirmation) as well as half chickens, along with the rest of the menu.

October 21, 20214 yr stopped at burnt bean on the way back from corpus on the thursday before this list came out. the line was not quite out the door and it was slow as shit. had the 2 meat plate, ribs were slightly better than the brisket. it was solid but wouldn't wait in that line again...can only imagine how long it will be now.

That’s a bummer. I ate there this past May and thought it was great.

I'm going on Saturday. Line will be terrible, but its one of the two Top 10 places I haven't had (Goldee's is the other).
October 21, 20214 yr Brotherton's Black Iron Barbecue for lunch today. Short, efficiently managed line art 11:30.Texas Reuben with house-made pastrami and saurkraut and blackberry cobbler.

They do beef ribs on Saturdays and have done whole hog on occasion. My standard order is moist brisket and spicy pepper jack sausage. Sometimes I add some pork ribs or get a beef rib too. Their sides are excellent as is the chocolate cake.
October 21, 20214 yr My standard order is moist brisket and spicy pepper jack sausage. You wanna go do karate in the garage?
October 21, 20214 yr Wait Champ fucked people over on here too? Or are we still talking about Mr. Stabby?

October 21, 20214 yr Supposedly, they are closing the restaurant at the end of the month and going back to just the trailer by the laundromat. Damn! That sucks. It’s usually pretty busy. Was it meat prices?
October 21, 20214 yr Not really sure. I was just told about it by a person who is friends with the owner.

I am not afeart to say "gimme 3 slices off the fat end." Of course, young knives on the block say "you mean moist?" while old pros say "you got it!" Life is too short for lean brisket.
October 21, 20214 yr Dumb question, is it rude or snobbish to say 2 slices from the point and 2 slices from the flat? I've noticed that most places do NOT separate the point when slicing. . .I can imagine that would be ineffient, but it does produce a slice with a bunch of fat in the middle.

There's no such thing as a dumb question, just . . . oh never mind. You should ask - at best the cutter will cut two slices off the point then slice them down the middle to separate the point and flat. Have whoever is with you video the exchange. I was behind a guy a few years ago that ordered brisket but asked that the cutter remove all of the bark - he thought the smoke flavor tasted like an ashtray. He then bitched when the cutter weighed everything on the scale.
October 21, 20214 yr I doubt that any of the #1 through #4 places will have something better than LeRoy & Lewis’ beef cheeks.
October 21, 20214 yr Has anyone picked up the magazine? I am curious if those prizes on the site are the extent of it. So fucking lame.

October 22, 20214 yr I have to be in Frisco in December on a random Wednesday (a long flight to suburbia hell, kill me). What’s the typical midweek midday line situation at Hutchins, anyone know?

What’s the typical midweek midday line situation at Hutchins, anyone know? A vendor took us to lunch around 1pm back in May, and the line was just inside the door. Maybe 10 mins, and they process/serve up pretty quick. Maybe it’ll longer now that the Frisco location was specifically mentioned in the Top 50, but then again the McKinney location just reopened and will draw off some volume, so…who knows. The good news is they now offer Texas Twinkies every day. You’ll want to get at least two. Edited October 22, 20214 yr by Dutch

I should add that I haven’t eaten there in 3 years due to a job switch, but I probably ate there 50 times when I was working up there. It was a mile from the office. The McKinney location is more convenient for me now and I have had longer waits there. I think the McKinney location is a little better, and it has certainly been open longer, so they may have a more loyal following within the surrounding community. Happy to see them back open again.

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk And nothing wrong with cutting a little thicker on the point I think Franklin differentiates the slices as "big pencil" and "little/No. 2 pencil," with the latter being the slice size for the lean end of the flat.
