      American here, and I should specify I live in the North. I will say Southern BBQ is where its at. Deana may or may not concur - there’s just something about BBQ Pulled Pork on a brioche bun with cheddar cheese. And of course, smoked brisket 🤤
      Deana mentioned there wasn’t any Mac-n-Cheese there and it doesn’t appear to be as popular (judging from past eoisodes), Deana do you ever make your own Mac-n-Cheese with a béchamel sauce? Also, do you think you could market Sweet Potato Crunch in Düsseldorf?

    I'm a native Texan and have to say that it looked pretty authentic to me. Wishing the owner much continued success and if I'm ever in Dusseldorf, I would definitely stop by. I thought all of the dishes looked great, but when I have to pick one usually I go for the ribs, although I prefer a mixed plate even when the portions are small. You mentioned that the sauce was vinegar based but I think that most, if not all, BBQ sauces have some level of vinegar. My personal favorite is usually the Memphis sauce over the Texas one because it's more balanced and a lot less heat. Sometimes the Texans just go a little crazy with the peppers for me, lol. Glad you guys enjoyed it. Doesn't get much better than Texas BBQ and beer.

Every single barbecue restaurant here has different sauces but like I said I prefer more of the vinegar sauce is myself

    A bit of history on the sausage found in Texas BBQ - Many German immigrants settled in the area of Texas around San Antonio. They brought their German wurst with them. That wurst is what became the Hot links in Texas BBQ! Hot links are integral to BBQ In central Texas. Just a quick comment about beans found with Texas BBQ. They are always pinto beans and seasoned with chili, not sugar. Still, it is great to see good BBQ happening in Germany!

      Can confirm. We don't really have a sweet baked beans tradition here in Texas, or at least in the parts of the state where I've lived. As an old-timer said, "You don't cook candy and frijoles in the same pot!" It's always pinto beans (often colloquially referred to as "red beans") typically seasoned with salt pork and eaten with some form of pepper sauce. And they are delightful. Beans and cornbread is a classic everyday meal.

You will wait in line but it will be worth it, there 2 of the top 4 places in the state. Cooper's is literally a chain probably comparable to what you're looking at in Germany. I've had it nothing special to the connoisseur.

    Texas BBQ in Germany? YES!!
    I'm a Texan in Dallas and I approve of this BBQ joint!
    Meaty sausage sounds like a good housemade sausage, no fillers.
    Sounds like some spice but probably no jalapeño-cheddar cheese sausage, yet?
    The fries look nice and crispy!!
    I'm used to pulled pork but not so much of pulled beef. We call pulled beef a "shoulder clod". YUM!!
    Salad? That's what you feed the cows!!
    Mmmm.. tator tots... Deanna give Phil some Ranch dip/dressing to dip them into!! lol
    Beans on chili fries??? NNNOOO!! Texas chili does not have any beans in it.
    BBQ beans usually have molasses or brown sugar and bbq sauce added to them for a smokier, sweeter flavor of bbq. Sometimes some pickled jalapeños are added for spice...
    NO MAC & CHEESE!?!?!?! 😢😢Pork Belly Bits? That's a new one on me but they look super lecker!!
    14 hours smoking is about right for those brisket sizes. Probably some might go 16 hours of smoking. Lean and moist are the terms for lean and fatty cuts of brisket. It also looks like there's a bit of "burnt ends" in Deanna's sample. (Due to the higher fat content of the brisket point, it takes longer to fully cook to tender and render out fat and collagen. This longer cooking gave rise to the name "burnt ends".)
    Awesome job y'all!!
    I think I'll go get some Texas bbq tomorrow for lunch, or dinner, or BOTH!! 😱

    Texas Method of Smoking Briskets
    Apply a 50/50 mix of Course Salt and Black Pepper .
    Get the Smoker Temp up to 225-250 degrees F and place the Brisket FAT CAP Up with the point towards the fire source and the flat away from the fire source. Smoke cook at 225 to 250 degrees for 4-5 hours.
    Remove when it stalls at 165 degrees F and double wrap it in Red or Pink Butcher paper and then place it back on the grill of the Smoker unit and insert a Meat Probe Temp gauge and continue to cook another 3-5 hours or until the Temp reaches about 210 to 225 degrees. Then remove from the smoker unit, leaving it still wrapped in the butcher paper, wrap it in an large clean bath towel and place it into the bottom of an insulated cooler chest and let it rest for about 2 hours more before unwrapping , slicing and serving.
    Rule of thumb is 60 to 90 minute per lb. , so a 10 lb Brisket would a cook time of at least 10 to 12 hours! Never inject, marinade or sauce a Brisket !! And In Texas , We don't apply any kind of a rub like yellow mustard to Briskets ! Yellow Mustard is for St. Louis Style Spare Ribs as a binder for the Pork Rub Seasoning !!

    A Texan here from Austin. Smoked plenty and have eaten more barbeque brisket than most of you have ever seen. Never really went for smearing yellow mustard all over the brisket prior to putting it on the smoker, just salt and pepper and plenty of each. Nevertheless, everything served at your BBQ joint looks great, and the effort of bringing that sort of food to the people of Germany must be a labor of love. We Texans are just snobs when it comes to barbeque, and are opinionated, but don't worry about us, y'all just enjoy what this man is dishing up.

    Checking the menu, the prices aren't terrible for being out of Texas. When I lived in Japan, I found a place called "White Smoke", which touted Texas bbq. We went to Tokyo very excitedly, and found pretty good bbq, but the brisket was $30 a slice! I understood that certain cuts of beef were more expensive in Japan, like skirt steak. But the owner could not justify to me, being from Texas, to pay that price again. He wrote to me many times trying to change my mind, and was obviously passionate. For Tokyo, I understand the prices, I mean people pay $30 for a sandwich served by a girl in a maid costume, or in a restaurant full of kittens. But I just couldn't keep paying $30 for a slice of brisket. I now make my own. However, I did look to see how far this place was from my house in Italy...an 11 hour drive. When I am in the area, I will remember to check it out.

Also i wanted to suggest that you guys should check out some more stuff in Düsseldorf's little tokyo (comparing the ramen places, pho places, sushi places or maybe some places that offer more rare meals like okonomiyaki).
    If you need some recommendations i can also provide some ;D

    Beef brisket is king for sure. Some Mac N Cheese is definitely needed. They have "Texas Twinkies" here which is a jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese and brisket, then wrapped in bacon and smoked. OMG! Also most BBQ places have sausage links either plain or with jalapeno and cheese in it! Making me hungry.

    How authentic is German Swinehoxen in America, I had it last night for my birthday dinner. Had to order 2+ days in advance, but it was definitely worth the wait. It came with red cabbage, sauerkrout and potato dumpings with gravy. Had a really good hefeweisen and finished the meal with Jagermeister to aid in digestion.

      Depends on where you're ordering it from. The fact that you had to order in advance indicates that it's about as authentic as you can get. It's a long cook - low and slow to make the pork as tender and juicy as possible. The sides sound solid too.

      U.S.American here. My husband has tried to prepare Schweinehaxen here in the U.S. to taste as similar as possible to the delicious Bavarian Schweinehaxen we ate in restaurants while we we living in Munich. He has not had success (making it taste the same). No matter what recipe he follows or which store or butcher he buys the meat from, it just isn't the same. We have concluded that the U.S. pork (breed of pig) is different from the German pork (breed of pig) and that makes it taste different. I'm not saying it's impossible to get "authentic" German Schweinehaxen in the USA, but in my region of the USA the pork we have access to tastes very different from the pork we ate in Germany.

    • @xinoen
      @xinoen Рік тому

      @@melindar.fischer5106 There is not only a different breed, but there's also different care and feeding laws/practices that can certainly have a pronounced difference of flavour in the final product. If you have access to free range heritage pork that's been fed an organic diet it's more likely that you'll have a more accurate classic flavour. I can get organically fed Berkshire down here at the butcher shop and it goes a long way towards flavour - not exact, but very close.

    Texan here. Yeah we don’t do much pork, beef is the most common choice. We do waaay more beef ribs, not so much pork ones though they exist, just much less popular. Cole slaw is common but potato salad is far more so, and is the must have. Beans are done in several styles. Ranch style beans are typically sweet and look like the ones y’all had, pinto beans are usually the norm and flavored simply, and borracho beans are flavored with beer (hence the name “drunk beans”), but all are pretty “saucy”, as is the Cole slaw as Deana mentioned.
    Brisket is definitely the main thing we BBQ, along with fajitas, beef short ribs, and country sausages, which we then often wrap in a fresh warm flour tortilla and squirt some mustard on and eat as a Tejano wrap 🤤. Elotes (grilled corn) is something common here too, and it’s the thing I tease my Luxembourgish friend they MUST have for a real Texas BBQ experience lol!
    I’ve considered applying for a few jobs in Germany this past year but the pandemic has made things hard to figure out. But I like watching your channel as preparation in case I ever do go! And tbh one of my cultural worries was how much I’d miss Texas BBQ 😂! I mean, I can BBQ a brisket myself but it’s a LOT of work by yourself, and I’m used to doing it as a part of a family so it’s be hard. It’s great to know there’s somewhere I can at least get some brisket out there haha! 👍

    In Central Texas, about 15 years ago a scandal emerged that the Best Brisket didn't come from smokers or cook - it was the quality of the beef itself. Brisket is the breastplace meat on cattle, and is traditionally TUFF but slow cooking solves that. After that, then, the quality of the beef itself is the Big Factor. And when the top BBQ joints in Central Texas revealed that some of their vendors were from Omaha or Kansas City vendors, there was a bigger war brewing with Texas beef ranches doing their best to raise 'better beef'. There have been few losers, and even those simply 'got better'. So, quality of the starting product has become a recognized component.

    We went to Memphis, TN and had their famous ribs. They were not amazing. (Their warm BBQ sauce bar was amazing.) Wouldn't it be funny if I liked the ribs in Germany better than Memphis? I just checked, Smoke BBQ is an hour drive from my house. I wonder where they get American tater tots. And I wonder why they don't offer Ranch dressing. It makes me sad that the BBQ beans are not going to be as smoky and sweet as we like them - my great-grandmother gave me her recipe and it had a cup of molasses, making it incredibly sweet and almost black in color. My German husband cannot handle such sweetness, what a pity.

    Another native Texan chiming in: Most of this looks fantastic to me, with one caveat on the side: Texas chili does not have beans! Not sure if that was in the chili itself that was atop the fries or added separately, though. Putting delicious stuff on top of fried potatoes is 100% something we do, though, haha. The wood used also varies from pit to pit-I don't think I've seen mesquite trees in Germany, though, so sourcing probably rules that out-but for the most part, it looks like they nailed the meats. That brisket looks better than some of the stuff I've had in a few of the overhyped joints around Austin, ha, even if it doesn't have as thick of a bark-like texture around the edges as most of the good stuff I see here. Dude even built a legit-looking smoker! Dang.
    I've tried Mexican food a few times on vacation over there out of morbid curiosity-and still haven't found anywhere that's really done it well-but it sounds like I might need to find a BBQ place to scratch my "how are you doing my food over here?" itch. (In my defense, though, bad BBQ can be dang near inedible if it's really bad.)

    Even though I live in Washington state, we have an authentic Texas style barbecue that was featured on Dinners, Drive-ins, and Dives tv show. They have excellent pulled pork, pork ribs, and jalapeño poppers but what they are known for is their brisket and beef ribs. Their barbecue sauce has that twang to it that I love, not the sweet sauce like in Kansas City or Memphis style. I don’t care for their Mac and cheese, too creamy. I prefer a more cheesier style like my wife makes. What has surprised me is their smoked turkey, they dip it in butter before serving it and I have to say that is the best turkey I’ve ever had. I would have never said I’ve gone to a barbecue joint for turkey but this has changed my mind.
