    I live in Dallas and I eat a Terry Black, Pecan Lodge and Hutchins BBQ at least once a month. Like you stated Terry Black is 3 blocks from Pecan Lodge (both on the same street). There meats are pretty close so what sides I want typically determines my decision. Terry Blacks has a great cream corn while Pecan Lodges collard greens are delish. I go to Terry Blacks more because they offer free parking while finding a parking spot at Pecan Lodge can be a real adventure during peak hours. Terry Black also serve the world famous black Margaritas. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip.

    think you caught Terry Blacks on a bad day. Maybe 1 out of 10 times I go there the brisket misses the mark, it happens. TBs is so much easier to get in and out of with that huge parking lot for locals. They open at 10:30am on Fri-Sunday too, which is super nice and never a line that early.

    As always, a well researched & presented "out-of-town" review which I do greatly enjoy! Since joyfully watching so many of your channel offerings, it became apparent to me that - in your delivery - your voice cadence & intonation, that it is similar to the actor's voice (Patton Oswalt) speaking for "Remy" in the very endearing PIXAR film "Ratatouille". Please take no offense or be insulted by this comparison. Please accept this as a worthy view on those - like you & me - that appreciate food & the "individual" story behind why we "gladly" & lovely" cook & feed people!!!! You provide both comfort & goodness in your offerings to your audience. Be proud of that & accept this sincere & well deserved "flattery"! Your YT channel is "must watch" for me, and I am so happy to be of "witness" of your efforts & hard work. Again, thank you!!!! This is Peter M; out!

    Hi James ! Another fine video. Yes, you're right about the inconsistency of BBQ restaurants. Brisket can be a toss of the coin sometimes. Same with pork. I'm not fond of pulled pork. Even in nachos. Just another word for dry and stringy. Wow. Quantities are HUGE. You're a marathon runner, but how does the average Joe burn up that amount of meat ??? Yes, I like the look of Pecan Lodge. Very good value. Here in Sydney, I've just discovered 'sour' beer, passionfruit flavor. Is this popular in the States ? I love that sour, tangy hit. The only problem ? it's much more expensive than other kinds of beer. Thank you, James, and I hope you get to 50K-60K subscribers before the end of the year.

    As someone who has lived in Dallas for five years and has been to both places, I would like to give some detail on the summary of these two restaurant comparisons. Price: at Terry, you ordered by the lb and multiple sides, while at Pecan, you ordered a meal with a maximum meat combo. Pecan will be cheaper because of a combo deal, but I can tell you both prices are very similar; you can compare meat per lb at both places, and the price would come out the same. Second, brisket quality: if your brisket is dry, please bring it to the counter and request a juicy one. Terry will give you a new cut if you are not happy with the fat content, and so will Pecan. The brisket has a fat and dry area; both restaurants have excellent customer service. They both would make it right if the cut of meat is not to your liking. I want to add that they are both across the street from each other so that you can try them both. I prefer to go to Terry simply because they offer parking and better seating. Considering they are both located downtown. The convenience factor plays a more significant role than deciding which restaurant has the best food, especially when they are so close, and you have to split hair to decide which has better food.

    • @Engineering2AI
      @Engineering2AI 5 місяців тому +1

      @@Jamesnu The brisket is not a uniform piece of beef like other cuts of suitable steak. This leads to part of the brisket being dryer than another area. When you order, if you don’t specify BBQ, the restaurant will give you whatever cut they have out. This had personally happened to me at a few BBQ restaurants around Dallas, where the cutter would take out a new brisket if I requested a moist piece. Call it “Southern hospitality.” Dallas, Austin, and Houston have some fantastic food scenes; I hope you get to try them all. I love your reviews, and I am looking to see many more.

Yes a good bbq sauce can cover many sins but you can mix the differant sauces to get the flavor/consistency profile you like. And if the sausage is light on the cheese take a bite of mac n cheese with it. I can give you a tip on eating MRE'S too. Sell it to a "prepper" and get a good burger meal😊. Thanks again.
