More to follow when I get back home, but I think I just ate the best brisket I have ever had at Truth BBQ.

[Bentley]

This will be fun to hear about!

[Bar-B-Lew]

They were making sausage while I was there.  I bet a 5# plus ring took the guy less than a minute to case.  The other guy pricking and twisting into links couldnt keep up.

[Bar-B-Lew]

I will most likely make it to five locations assuming i get to the last one for dinner with a former co-worker tonight.

The Pit Room
Demeris
Truth
Pinkerton
Goode

I think I have seen Truth on youtube, but not sure.

The Pit Room

 [ Invalid Attachment ]

Elote - sour cream, cheese, hot sauce on top. Got better as mixed together but not as good as Chicago probably better without the hot sauce
Green beans - very tender, mixed with roasted tomatoes, very good but a little too much tomato flavor for me in my green beans
Brisket - very tender with salt and pepper rub .  Very good not quite as good as Dallas
Pork Sausage - good snap, moist, and nice balance of cheese and jalapeno with excellent jalapeno flavor and heat my favorite item on the plate
Pork Ribs - very moist and tender bite off the bone with same salt and pepper rub and decent smoke flavor but too much cartilage and fat for my liking what meat there was on bone and in between the cartilage was very good

Demeris

Green beans - standard canned green beans cooked low until tender with onions and very little bacon... average
Jalapeno corn - heavier on cream than pit room but can't taste the jalapeno and needs some pepper
Wings - slow smoked and good smoke flavor with a little BBQ sauce but skin not crisp and seemed like they have been sitting in a warmer for a while
Brisket - decent smoke flavor can't taste any rub and not very tender.  Almost like sliced roast beef
Jalapeno sausage - good snap more black pepper flavor than jalapeno

No need to eat here

Truth BBQ

Mac and cheese - very creamy and cheesy with a bread crumb type crust...very good
Tater tot casserole - tater tots, dried onion rings, cheese and heaven
Jalapeno cheddar sausage - good snap but a little tough to chew thru skin.  Lots of jalapenos and nice cheese balance would be excellent if not for tough skin
Brisket - fork tender melt in your mouth with nice bark.  Standard salt and pepper and garlic rub.  Excellent.  Might be best I've ever had.
Pork ribs - beyond competition tender but not sloppy fall of bone.  Same rub as brisket.  Very very good and more meat on bones than other places I've been so far

Pinkerton

Arrived at 10:50am and was about tenth in line for doors to open about 11:05
Bacon Mac and cheese - kinda like kraft but creamier and less salty flavor..average
Turkey - tender, nice smoke flavor, lighter side of moist
Jalapeno cheddar sausage - nice snap and a little on tough side to chew thru skin, lots of spicy cheddar cheese and nice heat profile and probably best I had this trip
Brisket - fork tender with nice salt pepper garlic rub and smoke flavor on lighter side of moist
Pork ribs - small st Louis trimmed with nice mellow smoke and slightest sweet rub and competition tender passes bite test

Overall good place but pricey pay by the pound instead of three meat plate

[Bar-B-Lew]

If I have time, I will update more details and pics for places and the 5th location I plan to get to for dinner tonight. If not, it will probably be over the weekend.

[Bentley]

Thanks Lew!  My only issue is I don't want my sausage cut for me!
