Or so asks Texas Monthly Magazine. Here's a link I think will get you behind the pay wall for a peek: Has Texas Brisket Peaked? – Texas Monthly
As they say, this question came about as the staff did the "dirty work" of evaluating Q joints around the state for their upcoming rating list. And based on the experiences we had a few months ago with the Meat Up we had and the food we got to sample they may be mostly correct. The briskets we got to sample as a group and some of the feedback from individual experiences both came to a similar observation. Nearly all the briskets we sampled/discussed were close, with "better than" ratings being measured with slim margins. Make no mistake, there are still joints here in Texas that will put out awful Q (to my tastes), my local area has several
but fortunately we've got a couple winners as well. Anyway, enjoy the read...............
