Probably next spring. Already have done NOLA twice, once for Mardi Gras and for a bday a few years back. We did my brothers bach in Nashville. It was a smaller party, like 5 of us, I could have over 20 peeps. Logistics suck in Austin because housing and flights are usually more expensive than other spots. Who knows. BBQ out there in Nashville was insane. Peg Leg Porker was THE SHIT. Did a bunch of Hot Chicken Sandwhiches, hit up Jack Daniels and ate at the restaurant next to the distillery...great experience.
I'm all about the Hattie Bs when I am in Nashville. SXSW is in March, might want to make some deposits now. I've never done Mardi Gras but it has to rival it. The music scene in Austin is amazing on an average night. There's nothing like it.
Hattie B's is good, but didn't knock me out. They have one in Vegas at the Cosmo. But we hit up Prince's Hot Chicken Shack and that was the shit. It was way outta the way in a sketch neighborhood but it was the bomb. Mardi Gras is way too much. Its too crazy. You really needed to do it when you are young, I stopped drinking for 6 months after it.
I have a pretty complete set of All Clad, properly treated they last a lifetime. As does well seasoned cast iron. Carbon steel is nice but requires more maintenance. I have one dedicated pan only for eggs that is wiped, never washed. A copper bottom saucepan my mother gave me when I moved out, a long time ago. Sized for one serving hot cereal, rice, rewarmed soup back before microwave. And a million or so baking pans.
I'm not sure but they are amazing....and deep, deep red through and through...12 bucks to pick a 5 gallon bucket...got two yesterday, will go with the wife and try to get 4 buckets today and put them in the freezer...it's a great berry year....the blackberries on my acreage are enormous this year as well....might have to buy a 3rd freezer this summer We usually pick a trunk load of blueberries this time of year in the valley but they are closed due to the virus I guess.....my fruit orchard is thriving this season as well....going to have a lot of apples and pears
I love Buster's dipping sauce with my brisket poor boy. The hot is a little too hot for me so I mix it 50-50 with the sweet - perfect. They also have some super hot pickled carrot slices. I grab a few to eat with my meal. It's pretty hot so I drink lots of iced tea with plenty of ice (refills are free). My wife and I order a single sandwich cut in half. We each eat one half. My wife eats all the meat with no bark and I eat most of the meat with lots of bark. The best part of brisket is the bark. I just don't like the fat that has bark. Can't stand fat unless it's on the edge of a NY steak and is burned black and then I just eat the black part.
Those ain't no California strawberries. I'll bet they're both sweet and have flavor. Probably have an intoxicating smell, too.
Thank you. I've taken that drive many times on our way down to Klamath Falls. Aren't they the place that had one of the last A & W root beer restaurants in Oregon?
Holy Trinity BBQ food cart on SE Powell has amazing brisket. Also their brisket sausage is very good. https://holytrinitybarbecue.com/
lol...on my phone it looked like a lid of pot. Now that Ive got a better view they look like Oysters.
