My Brisket Has A New Name

[Draznnl]

So my son, future DIL (that’s a whole other story), and four year old granddaughter escaped Disney yesterday and spent the day here. Just grilled some hot dogs and burgers for lunch. No big deal. Sorry, no pics of any of the cooks. I was too busy doing the Grandpa thing.

Dinner was 12 pounds after trimming of Click brisket. Cooked on the Yoder 640 at 225F for fourteen hours with Meathead’s Red Meat Rub. Then wrapped in butcher paper and placed in a cooler with towels for five hours until dinner time. With the brisket resting comfortably, it was off to the new Minions movie. Review: thumbs down from all the adults and two big thumbs up from the four year old.

We came home, sat down for dinner and I sliced some of the brisket. Gave granddaughter a piece from the point. Her first remark was this is good. Then she cut her next bite off with just her fork. Then came the best compliment any of my cooks have ever gotten. She kept cutting up her whole piece with her fork, turned to my son and said, look at Grandpa’s Magic meat.”

So I about melted at that point.

Love it! But now I have that old Oscar Meyer commercial jingle in my head...

[Allon]

My bologna has a first name it's O S C A R
My bologna has a last name it's M E Y E R
I like to eat it every day
And if you ask me why I'll say
Cause Oscar Meyer has a way with B O L O G N A

See, this is how we know we're in the right place.

[gboss]

your brisket has a first name, it's C-L-I-C-K
your brisket has a second name, it's W-A-G-Y-U
oh, you'd love to eat it every day
just to hear that cute voice say
"give me more Grandpa's magic meat"-O.K.!

Can't ask for a better complement then that.

Now that is an awesome story and memory. What all of us strive to achieve!

[Donw]

That is a wonderful memory to keep. Much better than the one I got when I shared my pickled pigs feet with our 5 year old grandson.

Drop the mic!

Wonderful story! I have one 20 month old granddaughter and she likes what I cook, but aside from begging for more, can't give me verbal compliments just yet!

[Draznnl]

They’ll come. Just another thing to look forward to.

Now I have something to aspire to. Our grandkids are 3 and 5 so it’s a possibility if I can step up my game. They did eat and seem to like the pork ribs I did a week ago but no commentary. 😩

Grabbed a brisket today, my grand daughter is coming for an over night in 2 weeks so I hope to begin her culinary training then.
I figure the mustard slather and dry rubbing will be right up her alley.

[Jfrosty27]

Oh yeah. We’ll need photos of that! Wear an old shirt that day!

[smokin fool]

Photos.....nope, we're gettin videos of this debacle....

[WayneT]

When a four year old gives a compliment like that...well, there are just no words. Well done Grandpa!

[fzxdoc]

Awww, what a cutie. She's got the makings of a pitmaster one day, knowing exactly what to look for in a well-smoked brisket. So go ahead, Grandpa, bust your buttons with pride, not just for the cook, but for having such a smart little grandgirl.

[Panhead John]

Way to go Grandpa! She’ll remember that forever.

[Bogy]

Nobody gave me a compliment like that a couple of weeks ago when I had a 11 year old, 2 9 year olds, a 6 year old and a 5 year old, but they all came back for seconds and thirds. Wonderful feeling!
