Turn 3 BBQ
Krugerville, TX.
Oh, 9.99 for more than I could eat.
Got leftovers.
If you're in the area, go try it.
I think you'll be impressed.
I'll ask next time.Sounds like a place I'd like to eat.
ETA: The owners name wasn't Freddie, was it....
I'll ask next time.
I'm going to try to visit Snow's soon; is there any other place near there worth trying? What about the places in Taylor? (Yes, Louie is a possibility, although I see bad reviews here.)
If you’re in Lexington, Lockhart isn’t too far. Kreuz, Black’s, and Smittys are in Lockhart.
Giddings City Market is good stuff. And if you call they will set some aside for you.
I'd pay $20 a pound for brisket all day long, IF....IF.... it's good brisket. Considering what it takes to make good brisket, and the consequences of crappy on both sides of the counter, that's more than fair. Lot of time and money on the sellers side lost on a failed brisket.
On the consumer side....say you pay $5 a pound more for good brisket , beats the hell out of paying $15 for crap, right?

Luling City Market.
For $20/lb brisket, there’s gotta be a happy ending.
I’ve had some high-dollar brisket. Most places the premium is based on a primary factor of the owner’s name and a secondary factor of very limited supply, resulting in artificial pressure to the market.
Brisket is people’s food and should be priced appropriately; 20x cost is out of line in my opinion.
Doesn’t mean your view is wrong; we just have different opinions.
Well if you can make brisket for $1 a pound, you're a magician. The fresh meat alone costs more. Then you have to have wood. Overhead. Even illegal aliens aren't going to work for free.
@ $20 per pound is pretty much the going rate in this area anyway.
Ar $20 per lb BIG profit. Unless they are stupid they are getting brisket at a restaurant supply. While the price varies over time you can figure it's almost always under $3 lb. In fact I was over at the big one here in San Antonio few days ago (my company has an account there) and brisket was $2.31 lb by the case. I suspect if you are a BBQ joint you are buying more than a case at a time...I don't know where the price break is on cases but my guess 10 cases get you bulk pricing, around $2.19 per lb would be my guess. That said next week it could be more or less.Well if you can make brisket for $1 a pound, you're a magician. The fresh meat alone costs more. Then you have to have wood. Overhead.
