Today I went to Subway for lunch, with some other folks. Turns out the Subway was right next door. So I got a sub, not wanting to rock the boat and try a new place that was more than likely going to disappoint.
When I was done my sub I excused myself and ran next door to check the place out. There was smoke in the air outside. Good sign. As soon as I walked in you could smell the mesquite. Great sign. Behind the counter stood the 3 friendliest old ladies you could ever meet. Good sign.
I ordered a half bound of sliced brisket and a half pound of spares. The bill came to $8.25. I told my 'associates' that I just got a snack.
We rode back to the office and the car filled with smoke & spice flavor. There was lots of jealousy, let me tell you. I wouldn't let anyone peek because I didn't want them to know how much food I bought
I snuck into an office, shut the door, and chowed down. This was absolutely the best restaurant 'Q I've ever had. It may have been the best brisket I've ever had. I didn't even touch the sauce. The beef & ribs were lightly seasoned, but they were seasoned. Both meats were a bit on the tough side but MAN, were they loaded with flavor. Very distinct smoke flavor. The brisket was quite juicy. I was smiling. Stuffed, but smiling. The whole office smelled like smoke all afternoon. I didn't wash my fingers until 4:00 so I could keep smelling the smoke
