    My grandfather was a Pitmaster in Nevada using mesquite wood as primary smoke fuel, and when he said at the end you gotta be a little stubborn to make it work it rang so true to me. The BBQ is the end result, and it's time consuming work, a lifestyle indeed.
    All the best wishes to him and his family!

    I work right around the corner from Brisket and Rice, it's as good as it looks!!! Those house pickles are great too. I'm so happy for their success.

      brisket is basically breast meat. its really tough so cooking it can be tricky. bbqing is low and slow which will cook the entire inside without overcooking the outside. alternatively you can put brisket in PHO!!!

    I remember when this place first opened - the location is almost cursed so I didn't think much of a place called "Brisket & Rice". I read a local article about being good, checked it out, and it was - fried rice is great, best sausage I can find in town, and of course great brisket. (he's totally right about the Chinese sausage...that plus the brisket is magic)

    This is one of the farthest-flung, sprawliest, strip-malliest neighborhoods in Houston (and that's saying something), but there are many excellent spots right around here. There's also "Perky Cups", which is basically Ojos Locos crossed with Starbucks -- it must be seen to be believed -- and there's a true mom-and-pop Thai place "Pranee" that absolutely bats in the big leagues.
