I love Texas barbeque but does it
have to take place in Texas? Hell No. In
Texas alone there are 1900 great places
like Mike Anderson’s A True Texas BBQ or Sonny Bryan’s Smokehouse Barbeque since
1910 or Hickory House Barbeque to name a few. A typical day at Franklyn’s in
Austin the lines to purchase food can stretch all the way down the block all
day long and then a paper bag goes on the door that simply says “sold out.” Nobody seems to mind as long as they
get a chance to have that tasty meat that seems to melt in your mouth.
The best advertisement for the barbeque business is the customers themselves. Barbeque is big business nationwide mostly in Texas, Tennessee,
Louisiana, the Carolinas and now in New York. That’s right! East coast barbecue is a top contender against the
southern kings of meat. The key is all
in the process. Throw away that brand
new shining stainless steel monster in your backyard. Instead, get yourself
a wood
burning grill that looks like a giant
horizontal trash can and after about 4 hours of slow cooking with seasoned oak
logs burning, you are in business for a
great meal. The problem is who the hell
has four hours burning wood to
spend on a meal?
Billy Durney is a
body guard who turned himself into a grill master and opened
Hometown Barbeque in Brooklyn less than a year ago and just 5
miles down the road head to Daniel Delaney Barbeque with his Texas inspired
brisket .A barbeque isn’t a great barbeque unless you got pork ribs, sausage, brisket,
pulled pork and turkey roasting. Forget that lame franks and burger crap. And
leave those sickly looking vegan gluten free vegetarian folks home too. I don’t need any
guilt trips on barbeque day. As I said, If you can’t
do it yourself, then these guys will get it done for you.
So sit back play with your wood
and serve your tender meat. Wow did I just say that?
