Never been. Going to a concert there Thursday night. Decent tailgating opportunities in the parking area or no? I see people are going to the beer hall to grab a beer to get their parking validated. Seems like a good plan to me. I'd like to smoke a brisket and do a decent spread of food but I just don't know if the parking setup allows for it.

yes- you can have a few in the lot if you want.. but VBGB is a good option- lots of beer choices and the food is solid. Its a great venue for a show

I like that spot. Already bought tickets to go back to see Jamey Johnson in August and Ray LaMontagne in September.

Great place, im headed to see a Milli Vanilli cover band in September and the voice of the new generation, Corey Feldman in October.

You don’t talk about another man’s brisket like that.

Yea, we don’t talk about other men’s meat on this forum.  Sensitive subject.

Say you've never had a properly smoked brisket without saying it.

Fork tender, moist as can be, and full of smoke.

Properly smoked brisket

It ain't your fault. It's really hard to find in a restaurant outside of central Texas. Never had it or seen it in NC.

It’s because your brisket has cooled from initial smoking.  It changes color a bit but still taste great.

Bingo.

That has been sitting there sliced for 20+ minutes too. I ain't so concerned with taking pics that I forget to eat first.

i think also it might be a shitty picture.

the color looks right. smoke ring looks good. just looks dry

and son. SON

i've done two briskets on my green egg. first was a complete disaster and i ended up slicing it and tossing it in the overn to finish just so i had something to serve

second started on a saturday night for a sunday dinner. i only have a medium GE so i can't get the big ones, but it was decent sized. probably about 17 hours on the smoker. had to change the lump like 6 or 7 times, then i think i let it sit for 2 hours. i was so fuging high by that point i can't remember

there were no leftovers
