| - I am in Tempe this week for work, my company's offices are in Tempe, and was didn't have a lot of time for lunch so I looked for a nearby BBQ that I could get some takeout from. I love BBQ, I do my own BBQ almost weekly, and the great thing about BBQ is that you can generally get something better than fast food in a hurry.
I ordered a half pound of brisket, and a side of corn bread. I also got a couple small cups of their original BBQ sauce on the side. The first thing that jumped out at me, is that their corn bread is simply that, corn bread. It isn't packed with things like green chilis that IMO detract from what corn bread is supposed to be. A definite plus in my book.
The brisket was juicy, perfectly cooked and easily passed the pull / tug test. Even better though was that it had a nice bark and the flavor of the bark really complimented the flavor of the meat. I might have liked a little more of a smoke ring but it was still a very good brisket. The sauce was tasty, but to be totally honest I didn't really use that much, good BBQ doesn't need sauce, and I ate most of my brisket without any sauce at all.
