4-T’s Bar-B-Q

Photograph by Daniel Vaughn

Good news for lovers of peppery brisket bark: These slices from both the point and the flat were well seasoned, smoky, and picture perfect. The lean side was as moist as you could hope for, and the fatty side was nicely rendered with an admirable pull-apart tenderness. This was great brisket. A plate of smoked turkey, chopped brisket, and pulled pork wasn’t bad either. It was hard to pick a favorite, but the pulled pork was about as good as you can get. There was plenty of crust in the mix of moist, smoky chunks. A bad bite couldn’t be found.

    Great review and I can’t wait to try 4T’s. By the way, you could use an editor on this. Most errors above are pretty innocuous but when talking about the pecan pie and saying “it’s worst the splurge”, I don’t think your intended meaning is conveyed.
