Dishes mentioned
Brisket Sandwich
Incredible bark around the outside, sexy smoke ring. It falls apart. This is how it's meant to be. It's a tough cut of meat to do well, but when you do it well, it's the best.
Pulled Pork Sandwich
Pure comfort. Juicy, dripping with flavor. Not many things I love more in this world. This is great.
Cornbread
Oh my god, that cornbread is insane. That is so heavy. Oh wow. Got some spice to it as well. I'm going to take that home to the wife.
Mac and Cheese
This mac and cheese is so good. Decadent, creamy, cheesy, crispy onions on top. Cannot get much more comforting than this.
