Bravo!
I developed a taste for Brisket in west Texas... At the end of my 18 hour workday, I would stop and get a pound of fatty smoked brisket in Monahans to eat with my fingers on the 90 mile drive back to the hotel in Hobbs... I never ever liked sauce... but they did have sauce on the side you could get, so I tried it once and it was pretty good... nice heat to it... a thinner sauce... not that thick brown goo that is all Karo syrup.
I liked how they did things out in the Permian Basin... I miss What-A-Burger.... the standard burger comes equipped with mustard. Ketchup is for kids.
I’ve never had it in its native land, but thanks to a little barbecue joint in Castroville, CA I developed a real liking for Texas-style brisket. They smoked theirs dry and had a thin tomato and vinegar based sauce you could have on the side. Delicious.
Sadly, the place is closed now.
