  • Thanks. Just a clarification...I didn’t take over anything except assuming the role as GM and pitmaster. There are new owners (as of April 2019), and I’m just a hired gun who was brought in to get the

  • Praise be! The local regulatory body has relented and I have been green-lighted to build my pit room. Shits about to get even realer down here on the island. Also....

Got invited to participate at Houston BBQ Festival on April 15th. Pretty excited about this development. Here's a sneak peek at one of the dishes we'll be serving out there. One of my favorite dishes off my lunch menu is the pork belly banh mi. Decided to present that at the festival, and have reduced it down to one bite.

I'll likely also have a brisket station where I'm slicing on the fly. You should buy tickets and come see me. www.houbbq.com

That looks like a great bite of food.

Memorize this picture. Since you'll be assembling this bite

That looks delicious.  Might need to look into attending this festival.

Lucky’s Pub is throwing a block party Monday through Wednesday for the Stros home opener. We’ll be slanging brisket and pulled pork sammiches and tacos all three days. I’ll be set up in the parking lot in front of Lucky’s Lodge starting at noon. There will be no regular lunch service on Wednesday (probably not on Thursday either...gotta do maintenance on the pit).

All of you who haven’t been over there need to go.  If you think this is some spin off of PC, you’re dead wrong. Frankly this is way better than anything PC did imo.  It’s top 3 in this town for me.  

Champ, are you coming back to Frio any time soon or are you staying away to give PC's room to establish itself in Cypress?

To be determined. Not a “space” thing so much as doing what makes the most sense for my business. We may be back in Cypress before too long

Champ do you have lunch service this week?

  • Author

Yes. Lunch at Lucky's Lodge Wednesday through Friday from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Thursday-Saturday at Holman Draft Hall from 6:00 to 10:30ish. Saturday at 8th Wonder from noon to about 5:00.

 

Just told my older brother to stop by there. Hopefully he makes it this week. If not, I’ll take the hombres in the family one of these Fridays I have off.

Houston BBQ Festival was a blast. It was my 5th year doing this event, but the first under my own banner. We had a solid lineup of bites, and I had a really solid crew helping me out. I need to give major props to ERhine here. He and his bride have helped out at this event for the last 3-4 years, and because they had that experience I leaned on him pretty heavily to manage workflow. He nailed it, and it freed me up to slice brisket on the fly. Two of our dishes were pretty much his creation (a saltine with a slice of boudin and a spoonful of his crawfish gravy, then the Big Red ice cream that he makes for me). We were on the same row as Corkscrew, Blood Bros., Harlem Road, Roegel's, Spring Creek, and Killen's. I was right smack dab in the middle of the row. Our line was longer than everyone on the row except for Corkscrew, and there seemed to be some pretty good buzz about us.  Anywho...pics (to prove it happened).

Shirts I had printed for the event. Loved the design, and wanted something that made my crew standout.

I haven't updated this thread in a while mostly because tapa noworky and I'm always too busy to sit down and get on my laptop.

 

We're still around, and still putting out some pretty darned good barbeque. If you haven't been in to try my brisket then you're missing out. I haven't figured out how to post pics now that imgur has been declared verboten (and photobucket haven gone all communist). But you can follow me on social media (@bucksbbqco) for pics of the product I'm putting out. 

 

We've added housemade beef sausage to the menu, and an 80/20 beef and pork sausage with pepper jack cheese. I've also started using Duroc pork again. It makes a big difference with the spares because Duroc simply tastes better than commodity pork. Still doing the same daily specials and sides, but likely about to bring the smoked meatloaf back to East Downtown.

 

My schedule has not changed, but we have started adding some festivals to the schedule. In addition to the usual spots (posted below), you will be able to find us at TXFest in downtown Houston this weekend. We're the only barbeque vendor at this event, so follow the smoke and look for the big ass BARBEQUE flag.

 

Regular schedule:

Wed/Thur/Fri - Lucky's Lodge from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm

Thur/Fri/Sat - Holman Draft Hall from 6:00 pm to 11:00pm(sometimes to midnight)

Sat - 8th Wonder Brewing from noon to 6:00 pm

Good to hear you're busy.

 

I don't use it, but I saw on another thread that tapa IS working now. Check it out if it helps you.

I can confirm tapa works now. He’s some random photos from Houston BBQ Festival my wife had on her phone.

I’m still cooking good food. Still the same schedule. Fridays now features smoked meatloaf instead of prime rib. Still can’t figure how to get pics uploaded.

We’ll be at Great Texas Barbecue Festival this weekend in addition to our regular spots. Get your butts out to see us

Download tapatalk on your phone and go to surly through it.  You can upload pics from it and don't have to mess with a hosting site.

Just get ERhine to do it, he seems far more tech-savvy than you.  Even Armybrat seems to have figured this out...

 

(Oh, and smoked meatloaf sounds amazing.  I'll probably be back in Houston in early June, on a Friday, so...)

if you have armybrat do it for you, only let him upload pictures of plates and other symmetrical things, that way when it's upside down we'll still be able to make out what it is.

GD.  Works for ME, anyway.  

Can you make the pics scratch and sniff?
