Slow-smoked beef brisket with a firm bark and moist interior — the centerpiece dish that earns the regulars

Sliced beef brisket with a smoke ring and rendered fat cap — the benchmark dish for any BBQ spot worth its salt

Sliced brisket with a smoke ring and rendered fat cap, straightforward and honest Texas-style execution
