Recently got Mission BBQ (chain BBQ joint) after not having gone in a while, and got 3 miniature slices of brisket, a tiny cup of mac & cheese and a piece of cornbread that was MAYBE 1 square inch and that shit was like $22. It’s been a bit, but the price to product ratio was way worse than the last time I visited.
I don’t know which hipster BBQ place started the trend of giving you a thimble of food for mid-high tier sit-down restaurant prices, but they can fuck all the way off.
The cost is in the black gloves. It means quality
“Ooooh they give you white bread with it!” -Texans, probably
When I was traveling all over the world for work, I learned really quickly to skip the local BBQ joint when I was in the south. They pretty much universally mediocre if not flat out bad.
Now the local burger and malt shop in the upper Midwest. Count me in.
We'd burn a place like that down here in Kansas City and then smoke some ribs over the fire.
This is what people from Ohio call bbq?
“excuse me, can i have some bbq sauce?”
Americans will make fun of British food, then insist this is peak cuisine.
How do you both burn and undercook fucking chicken
That place would never survive in Central Texas. 😂 Here, a place with brisket that's actually not sad looking would charge about $7 for a plate like that.
Unfortunately, it's far too tempting to order 10 times more food than that.
But at least artisanal sodas and a separate counter/line to order a beer?
You know what's annoying is my favourite BBQ place where I studied at university had almost this exact fucking aesthetic, just with better rendered food. Tasted fucking good though
all the chicken places that just clone each other's menu
As somebody in Kansas City I find this deeply offensive
I went to a food truck at the local university that only sells Macaroni and cheese (with sides). That's it.
It was the worst macaroni and cheese I've ever had. And the tritip was all gristle, so I couldn't even eat that. $20 gone just like that
I'd rather get some bandanas.
