Affording beef, in this economy? Fancy.
Allegedly the USS Abraham Lincoln, perhaps even better conditions…
Oh if that’s what’s being served at $25 I’d wonder if I’m trapped on the Abraham Lincoln and just dissociating/imagining my daily life.
This is what Mission BBQ is like, but add in the guilt trip to buy a $3 plastic drink cup “for the troops”. And the barbecue is not good. It’s not inedible or anything, it’s just that everything (including the sides) is loaded with sugar.
I had Mission BBQ onboard the US Ship Truman and did not pay anything so if you bought a cup thanks for your service. Like and unlike the Lincoln the total deployment time was 7 months with 2 port visits and in the gulf Arabian Sea the supply chain isnt always the most efficient.
I didn’t buy a cup FWIW. I assumed you guys were paid from the US military budget and hence from my taxes, not from Mission BBQ plastic cups.
The new BBQ place in my town
I’d love to see their “smoker”. Zero smoke rings on anything in this picture and that pulled pork looks like crock pot pulled pork.
That brisket is a crime against humanity.
You know how sometimes you can watch a food ad and taste the food they’re selling? This is like that, but I can taste the bag they reheated it in.
That’ll be $200 please and thank you.
Lol. Very original bro.
Self five.
That is $300
My local BBQ place will do a full 3-meat (and sides) catering spread for 20 people for $350. If you’re paying $300 for 6 people, you’re getting ripped off.
Depends on which currency I suppose but probably not $300 in the one you were thinking
Wouldn’t $300 in any currency still be $300?
Like 5 kilogram of any material is still 5 kilogram?
Sure you might have one block of steel and 250.000 grains of rice… But still 5 kilogram.
$ doesn’t tell you anything though. $ CAD != $ AUD != $ USD. Grams have an agreed upon global meaning.
Either way, they should tell us the currency.
Edit: In Toronto, this is a common price for this quantity (1/2lb), in CAD.
Just say the price you actually paid for that platter for 6 (judging by the hamburger buns) with those boiled looking brisket without a smoke ring.
The way those rolls were laying i thought it was just an entire loaf of challah bread.
want
There’s a bandannas bbq in town and I can get at least twice that amount of food for only $49.99
I mean the math does work out. Picture is $25, twice the amount of food for $50 is literally the same
I feel bad for people that don’t have access to good Barbecue.
I have direct access and make it myself, you might find some better but way cheaper from ho,e
As someone who lives in 1 of those areas and visited Texas once 3 years ago I agree… I never had bbq ever like that before. Thats all we did for 3 days straight, bbq, brewery, bbq, brewery, concert festival at night. Best trip I had in a long time.
Texas has the shittiest fucking barbecue. To the point where they shouldn’t even be fucking calling it barbecue it’s fucking garbage. If someone asked if you want barbecue in Texas, you should expect a fucking sausage on a tortilla. Fucking trash.
Well whatever we had was worlds better than my states crap. Just curious if Texas bbq is that bad what bbq is the best in your eyes?
You are definitely wrong. La BBQ was one of the best meals of my life and then they ended up getting a Michelin star. There are other Austin places like Moreno’s that are also amazing. Any time I visit I go straight to BBQ places.
Have you been to private equity burger? It’s worth the mortgage.
There haven’t been a ton of bright spots moving back here to the south, but plenty of good bbq places is one of them.
“We do things a little different around here.”
And then proceeds to do everything by the vanilla play book. Moreso for manbun burger places, but still works here.
They charge differently maybe
“We do things a little different around here.”
Then proceeds to explain Tapas.
Or all you can eat with a tablet
Differently? Alright, what’s on tap?
“we serve coke products here, sir”
It’s been ages since I’ve set foot in a bbq restaurant because of this.
*equips cane, glasses, and supplemental O2 tank*
Back in my day, an entree in these places wouldn’t break the bank, and would send you home with leftovers every time.
Can y’all stop using the word entree to mean main course rather than appetizer? It has the same root as entry for a reason lol, it comes before the main course. The English word is just “main course”.
I had an outree for dessert.
Entree is common Anglo parlance for the main meal. Shut up, pedant.
TIL! As a French speaker I would have gotten them mixed up if it wasn’t for you guys’ lil discussion here
Yeah maybe a historian can comment on how it got switched in English.
It’s what we call a “false friend”.
Rudy’s menu near me. 2.50 more for “moist”.
Rudy’s is good in a pinch but way better options across TX.
A half pound of coked ribs? That’s like 2 ribs.
I was about to grumble, but then I saw $3.49 for Cole slaw and can only believe this is a joke.
Depends ribs of what. Chicken ribs, you get lots of ribs. Beef ribs, only part of one. For babies, I guess it depends.
Yea, lemme get some dry brisket, because it’s good that way…
They are two different parts of the brisket. The “moist” is from the point which is fattier than the “lean” flat.
MOIST!
Always splurge for moist.
If you’re splurging and it’s not moist, you need to hydrate more
As a vegan, if you’re partaking of killing animals for their meat… and your result is that pathetic dry cut of flesh… it’s extra extra evil
At least make it worth it
Yeah definitely, we should probably also use the other parts of meat too then. Do you have a newsletter?
As a non-vegan, I agree with you.
YUM
Nice sly reference to the company owning several well-known restaurant chains.
Yum! Brands, Inc. (sometimes called just Yum!) is an American multinational fast food corporation. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, the company operates KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Habit Burger & Grill, and several technology companies. Yum! is one of the world’s largest fast food restaurant companies in terms of system units. In 2016, Yum! had 43,617 restaurants, including 2,859 that were company-owned and 40,758 that were franchised, in 135 nations and territories worldwide.
I hear their tacos will change your life.
Yum! used to be Pepsi’s fast food division.
They might not be updating their marketing materials.
That’s like 16 Costco hotdog meals.
More like 15 here, sales tax sucks in WA
I hope you don’t like schools or an educated population
Sales tax is regressive.
10.4% last I checked. Nice and regressive.
10.55% combined state + county + city in Seattle.
It’s somewhat made up for by there being no state income tax, but it is still among the highest sales tax rates
Yeah it’s great for people making six figures and not cashing in over $278k/yr. in long term capital gains
