That must be that mythical melt in your mouth brisket. Most I have had needed sauce and a dozen beers to make it palatable.

There may be people in Texas that know how to cook brisket. But I know for a fact there are a lot that don’t.

Maybe I have just been unlucky. But at this point I think I’d rather have a microwaved salisbury steak than waste another $40 on Texas brisket.

It took a guy from Memphis BBQing brisket for me to finally have some that I enjoyed.

That included checking out every place recommended to me for brisket within a 100 miles of Ft. Hood over my 3 years (1 deployed) when I was stationed at The Great Place.

Captdalton makes a good point. While I have had really good brisket (Butcher Paper BBQ in Opelika has been the most reliably good brisket BBQ that I have had), there have been several times I went to a supposedly great brisket BBQ place and it was like chewing on a piece of burnt leather.

There's just so much fertilizer in this. Texas is littered with places that knock brisket out of the park.

Which specific joints in Texas have you been to?
