I can never quite tell if my ball joint is lined up perfectly with the widest part of the boot. Got these Lucchese’s that make my toes just slightly tingly after wearing them for a little bit but other than that feel pretty good. Is my ball of my foot lined up with the widest part of the sole?
Made the journey to Seguin yesterday with a buddy to try the number 1 rated bbq place in Texas. Got in line around 10:10 and got our food around close to noon.
Review:
We ordered brisket, pastrami beef cheeks, pork ribs, beef sausage, and burnt ends. Sides were Mac and cheese, bacon ranch taters, and green beans.
Brisket: this is how I judge Texas bbq joints. Honestly this was the worst meat we got. A bit dry and crumbly, just didn’t hold its form very well. Flavor was good but nothing that special. I felt Terry blacks has given me better brisket.
Pork ribs: very good. Perfect texture and seasoning, pretty much on par with other top bbq places like Franklin and Leroy and Lewis.
Pastrami beef cheeks: the personal standout here. It came with a really good mustard sauce and it just worked really well. Super moist and tender, really nice smoke flavor that paired well with the mustard sauce. Great texture as well.
Beef sausage: great flavor that was super juicy. Really crispy bite which is exactly what you want from a sausage. Really doesn’t get much better.
Burnt ends: I’m not a huge burnt ends guy but I thought they were good. Maybe could’ve been a little more moist but overall really good, no real complaints.
Sides: I’m also not a big fan of bbq sides but these weren’t anything particularly special. Mac and cheese was a unique take, tasted almost like a queso with spiral pasta. The taters were kind of like a casserole type texture that had good bacon flavor, green beans were ok, just normal green beans. Bonus points for using martins potato bread. We also got prickly pear lemonades that paired really well with the meats.
Overall verdict: 9/10. Exceptional bbq overall, despite the just ok brisket. If you are in the area, worth checking out. Prices were a few $ cheaper per lb compared to Austin, but that’s to be expected. However, if you are in Austin or any other major Texas city, there are no shortage of other bbq places that are just as good, without the drive and wait. Id really only go if you’ve already tried the best in your area and want to check out the hype.
Selling my clean Pepsi I purchased right before clean shut down last year. Worn maybe 5-6 times at an office job and that’s about it. Couple light dings on the side of the case. Keeps time insanely well, probably my most time accurate rep at around +2 seconds a day.
I had a watchmaker smoothen the edges of the case so it’s not sharp at all. I also replaced the crystal with deep crystal and the gasket, I had my watchmaker make the bezel fixed so that the crystal wouldn’t stick out as much. If you want to make the bezel movable again, you can take it to a local watch maker to undo this, it’ll make the crystal stick out more though.
Asking for $500 through PayPal F&F. Price is firm. I think I put at least $900 in to this. Will ship for a small additional fee ($10-20) depending on where you are in the US.
Wore my brand new lucchese santini goat boots out tonight and made the mistake of going to some fairly crowded bars. Unfortunately ended up with a pretty good size scrape off the leather on the toe. Anyone know if this is salvageable?
