RFK Jr. is on a "national BBQ tour."

You didn't think he would go to Kansas?
Looks great!
It’s twooo, it’s twooo!
It's really roadkill, right??
BBQ beef rib tomahawks are impossible to "misinterpret".
You know, kosher and halal butchery are kinder to the animal. You almost instantly bleed out from a quick throat slash, rather than getting stunned with a bolt gun and maybe not even fully dead before they start flaying you. And at least the kosher inspection makes sure the facility is kept clean.
RFK could tour some kosher and halal places to combine MAHA with DEI, and prove the Admin is neither antisemitic nor islamophobic. That would make some lefty heads explode (which would be trayf/haram, but worth it)! CC, JSM
RFK 2 is a protein guy
Found meat, like roadkill or washed up whales, is totally trayf. But I'm not saying he has to convert. CC, JSM
I think I'll take that over Sen. Schumer's cheeseburgers.
…Franklin is justified, Goldee’s a must stop. Rodney Scott’s is the closest decent we have but I think too much smoke…

In theory there’s no difference between theory and practice.
There goes the Vegan Vote.
The Masai would eat a diet of fat and protein for a lean body, strong bones, and a dearth of heart disease that defies modern expectations.
BBQ is good for you. Now its official Government policy.
Wanting what is false to be what is true seems crazy.
Quantum bbq effect. It’s not good for you until you taste it. Then it is both delicious and nutritious.
What is true is that meat is real food regardless of what Jr wants.

You mean like convincing yourself Wisconsin runs honest elections?
I love Terry Black's. Best BBQ in central Texas, where you don't have to stand in line for over an hour.
They should have fed that to the hockey team, not cold McDonalds burgers
"What if what is true is what you want to be true?"
The phrasing is logically sound. Nevertheless it has a vague savor of conspiracy, does it not? Strange. Just the thing to say to hostile jury to plant a desperate seed of doubt. What if what you want to be true is true? Is that different?
In any case, bon appétit, Mr. Kennedy. I wish I could join you. A nicely barked brisket is far superior to zee boogs AOC would force us to eat or starve, which is true, whether you want it to be true, or not.

If you're not at the table, you're on the menu. Luckily for them no one wants to eat a vegan.
“If you're not at the table, you're on the menu. Luckily for them no one wants to eat a vegan.”
Hmm…I’ll reserve judgment on that. After all, a lot of good meat comes from animals that are mostly vegan—cows, deer, rabbits, chickens, etc.
Washed down with some high-quality bourbon. Health food!
I'm in.
Terry Black’s is pretty good. Better than Franklin’s although Black’s proper in Lockhart is better. As is Kruez BBQ in Lockhart. Best in Texas IMO is Mueller’s in downtown Taylor, TX but a bit off the beaten path. N Texas boasts Hutchins BBQ (OG) in McKinney, TX but rare to find beef ribs there. Cadillac’s in Addison has them, but best to be there at 11 and in line.
Texas has some great BBQ’d places in just about every town with a post office it seems, but these are some standout places.
I wonder how much sugar is in that BBQ rub and/or sauce. Sugar is poison. Sorry to bring that up. Back to the smoker everyone.
If you've spent your life in the Northern Midwest, or Northeast, or Northwest, or West Coast and have not had the opportunity to try real BBQ in North Carolina, South Carolina, a couple of places in Georgia, and definitely Texas, you don't realize what you're missing. It is an awakening to try your first great real BBQ.
Lest I forget: Memphis, Kansas City- also great BBQ centers.
Different styles in different regions. And once you've had the good stuff, it's hard to take pretenders.
I find it much more enjoyable than a bowl of coconut ginger rice, sweet potato noodles, and some globulous orange sauce
A lot of what makes good BBQ so tasty is a good bark on the meat. From what I've been seeing from various Doctors and nutritionists another term for that is AGE or Advanced Glycation End-Product, which is supposedly not too good for you.
It’s so True, it changed my lunch plans from Tacos to BBQ ribs.
They were real, and they were spectacular !
I love BBQ. But I am never sure what it is when I travel. Some places only pork can be BBQ. Others it is brisket. In Kentucky it is mutton. Chicken, turkey, fish in others.
Are these Mongolian BBQ restaurants really BBQ? I don't even care about that. I love it anyway.
Caring would be pedantic. I don't think I've ever had bad BBQ no matter the animal. Bring it on.

"f you've spent your life in the Northern Midwest, or Northeast, or Northwest, or West Coast and have not had the opportunity to try real BBQ in North Carolina, South Carolina, a couple of places in Georgia, and definitely Texas, you don't realize what you're missing."
If someone who makes real BBQ moves from North Carolina, South Carolina, a couple of places in Georgia, and definitely Texas to the Northern Midwest, or Northeast, or Northwest, or West Coast, do they forget how they made it?
Put another way, nobody anywhere says "The food we make here is crap. You have to go to another part of the country to get good food."

I could say that about here. Shrimp and grits for breakfast is kinda awful. And carolina bbq is either the mediocre vinegar base or the mayo base so any good bbq is imported from Texas…
…and the one Beard award winner serves hoofs…
John Mosby:
For most modern pork processers, pigs are killed using CO2, so no blood spurting and no employees are saddled with the job description of "killer."
Forget how they died, dead is dead, no muscle tightening occurs using CO2, and the meat processed is more tender. Further, the pigskin can be stripped from the carcass in a single piece which makes it a more valuable bi-product.

Quaestor:
No bugs were served to dogs by AOC, who served up cauliflower tacos at the NYC Mexican restaurant where she worked in 2017. Flats Fix in Union Square, NYC, where she worked as a bartender in 2017, served a $4.75 cauliflower taco dish.
Phae's list for Central Texas is a good one. I don't get into religious/doctrinal wars concerning Blac's vs. Franklins -- I will happily visit either.
It goes against my rearing, but even as a Texan, I like a good Memphis-style rib just as much as a Texas one.
If pressed in real life, of course, I will deny ever having said that.
Fetishizing anything can quickly become over indulgence. I wonder if RFK Jr is on the Epstein muscle boner doc Peter Attia's compounded pharma protocols? Maybe it drives him to gobble down bloody beef every day.
Gadfly- co2? So it’s like a gas chamber? And co2, as I recall from our death penalty threads here, as well as from personal experience holding my breath, is what gives you that panic feeling. So the pigs are scared shitless for their last minute or so?
A whispered ‘bismillah’ or ‘Baruch atta Adonai’ followed by a quick knife stroke from behind might be preferred by piggie.

Of course, piggie’s not going to get a kosher or halal death anyway, but I assume the technique you describe is also used on cows and sheep? CC, JSM
3-lb boneless chuck roast well marbled. Preheat oven to 300°F. Brown all sides in a hot greased skillet. Season meat with your favorite dry rub. Add 1-qt jar enchilada sauce and 1-pt of beef bone broth. Cover and braise for 3-3.5 hours. Check liquid level a couple times until fork tender. Remove roast. Shred then brown with high heat to crisp up. Lay paper towels on top of the liquid to remove the free floating oil. Reduce liquid to thicken.
Serve on tortillas with cheese onion cilantro and tacqueria sauce. Ice cold Pacifico or Negra Modelo
I missed a step.
Combine browned shredded beef with thickened braiding liquid.
They should have fed that to the hockey team, not cold McDonalds burgers.
Maybe if you leftists hadn't shut down the government, he could've done that.
The worlds best was at the tunnel Bar-B-Q across the tunnel from Detroit in Windsor, closed for 10 years, but the best Bar-B-Q is always the one that you want to be the best.
I second the view that Lockhart Tx is the best place for BBQ. City Market is one of my personal faves, it serves the meat on brown butcher paper and you only get utensils if you ask for'em. You see huge guys in brown work shirts and scuffed boots coming in here for lunch. It's the working man's fuel.
Terry Blacks in Ft Worth is a new fixture, where RFK ate. Haven't tried it yet. The Ft Worth Cowtown Marathon route goes right past it this weekend, and I have family running. It's the last few days of the Stock Show and the place is jam packed.
Memphis BBQ pigmeat be the best.
That is all.
