Thieves steal at least 20 whole briskets worth thousands of dollars from famous Texas barbecue restaurant (msn.com)

America the Broken.

That's just crazy!

I picked my wife up at the Gainesville airport Friday night about midnight on her return from a trip to Austin. She and the student she travelled with only had roll aboard bags and I did not smell brisket, but I may need to question them further after seeing this report.

When flying out of the Austin airport, you should almost always grab a frozen brisket to go from the Salt Lick kiosk/outlet

At the very least, plan enough time to grab a platter to eat there.

🙄🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣

OK, that’s funny!

[Craigar]

Or a Killer Hog.

Another difference between Texas and SoCal. Here they smash and grab jewelry and high-end clothes. Texas, partially cooked briskets. Oh my.

[WillTravelForFood]

Did the thieves at least put the stolen briskets in a cooler or other appropriate box to keep the temp?

[troymeister]

Gosh...Puts a whole new spin on "Where's the Beef!"

[Sid P]

The article says "prepped and cold smoking". Is cold smoking one of the secrets to their amazing brisket?

Isn't stealing briskets a hanging offence in TX?

[Panhead John]

No sir. We prefer the electric chair……

[Purc]

Low and slow or hot and fast ?

[RonB]

Maybe a rope with a little elastic in it.

[rlozinak]

What in the heck would a guy do with 20 partially cooked briskets?

[mrteddyprincess]

I read the article to try to answer your question and now I have the same question. It would almost have to be someone with access to restaurant sized facilities, wouldn't it?

[HawkerXP]

Big freezer?

[bordercollie]

That's the pits . The cops need to do a "steak out" .

[DaveD]

I feel compelled to make the point that you're gonna get flat roasted for those puns...

[Uncle Bob]

And then ................smoke 'em out...........?

[Huskee]

I wonder if they're some sort of protester, radical vegans or PETA or something. It's just not logical for someone to take all that with intention to use it properly. Oh well, a crime is a crime and it's a shame that some folks choose this path.

[Jerod Broussard]

Had to bust locks of the smokers, geeze.

A funeral home and 20 storage units on the same highway just outside of this town were burglarized Friday night.

The movie "Soylent Green" was set in the year... you guessed it... 2022.
