Texas Brisket on a Pellet Grill

February 20, 2022 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Beautiful Brisket 3

This is the one you're looking for. Real Texas brisket, made on a pellet grill. I gave up messing around with fire after ten years of smoking meat. I got tired of the overnight panic worried that my fire had gone out or had gone on a hot tear. I went pellet and never looked back. But going pellet has its limits. Number one limit is less of that deep, rich smoke than if you smoke over coals and wood chunks. But there's a way around that. A way to brisket nirvana. On a pellet grill. ...

Franklin Barbecue – For the Brisket (Only), It’s Worth the Wait

February 11, 2022 Leave a Comment

This is not an “I hate Aaron Franklin” post. I like the guy. I have both of his books, first edition, day of publication. I’ve watched his whole series on PBS. I’ve watched his Masterclass. He’s a cool, smart dude. This is also not an “I hate the wait at Franklin” post. Truly it is…

WooPigFoodie’s Competition Barbecue Sauce

As many of you know, I am a judge at the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest held every May in Memphis, Tennessee. Boy that’s a mouthful. But it’s also a mouthful of great barbecue! And though I generally believe that if you are doing competition barbecue right you don’t need sauce, if…

Pulling up on that crunchy gravel lot, there will already be a line in front of Valentina’s Tex Mex BBQ in Austin, Texas. And you’ll probably say to yourself, do I really want to stand in line at yet another Austin food truck, especially this early in the morning on a Saturday? Don’t fool yourself….

The food at Loro

Loro Austin is a Gorgeous Spot to Grab a Cocktail and a Tasty Bite

October 20, 2019 Leave a Comment

Loro Austin is gorgeous. Created by James Beard Award winners, Chef Tyson Cole of Uchi and Aaron Franklin of Franklin Barbecue, Loro Austin’s beautiful architecture floods the open space with sunlight. And it has great seating throughout. Barstools up front at the bar, tables, benches and booths on the wall. This place was well thought out.

Taqueria Azteca Makes the Best Tacos in Central Arkansas

October 6, 2019 Leave a Comment

Taqueria Azteca is my favorite place for tacos in Central Arkansas. (They have two spots, one in Maumelle and one in Benton.) They’re as authentico as I imagine they get, and certainly bring me back to those terrific taco places I’ve eaten at in Mexico.

There’s a special place in my heart for a Meat-n-Three, and Jestine’s Kitchen in Charleston, South Carolina is doing it right. It was hot as Blazes the day I came by, and the sweet greeting I received at the door was just as sweet as this frosty, cool sweet tea that came right quick. It…

Austin’s Uncle Nicky’s Italian Specialties is My Choice for Bombolini

September 14, 2019 Leave a Comment

Austin has a beautiful little Italian bakery called Uncle Nicky’s Italian Specialties. I fell in love with this place pretty quickly. It’s run by three guys who know their way around Italian pastries, putting together beautiful homemade pastries, all for a very fair price.

The Thing About Fried Pickles

The thing about fried pickles is that you know they’re going to be hot. And you know that little cup of ranch dressing isn’t going to do it. You’re going to burn your mouth, your hands, and have hot vinegary dill pickle juice streaming down your chin and dripping onto the table. That’s just the way it is. And you don’t care. So you dive in, and burn yourself good. And it’s fantastic.
