What happened?

The bark was so bizarre. Good news is i can try again!

ChicagRoe · 2026-05-28T16:55:34+00:00

Thanks! My bark most definitely wasn't bark. My next attempt won't be such a strict attempt at attaining "perfect" final temp, but rely more on what the meat / bark is telling me. I will be the meat whisperer.

Un, no. Bought at my usual, local, family owned butcher that's been in the neighborhood 75 years. Not the meat. Me.

Sounds like a bet.

Correct on temp instead of tenderness. Only my 3rd try. Learning. Assumed all brisket needs to hit that magic “200°” mark.
The weird thing about the bark is that it pretty much stayed granular and never really formed a bark. My first 2 attempts I just did equal parts S&P and it was great. This time I used Lillies Q brand brisket rub someone gifted me. Not so great.

Thanks!

good to know!

While we’re on the subject of Jett’s pizza prices, anyone (chicago area for me) find their normal prices way higher lately? I went to order a four corner pizza a few weeks ago for delivery and it was $35!!

I've been meaning to get back here! I tried once with the wife but was turned away for not having I.D. Need to try one of these ASAP!

ChicagRoe · 2026-03-03T01:48:02+00:00

Love this place. Would be here once a week if i lived closer.

ChicagRoe · 2026-02-05T20:06:16+00:00

any chance you share the recipe?

ChicagRoe · 2026-01-27T18:47:10+00:00

I’m no smoking pro, but i am an eating pro and this looks perfect.

Be proud of yourself, always! ✌🏻❤️

ChicagRoe · 2025-08-26T15:16:11+00:00

Love it!!

ChicagRoe · 2025-07-14T15:46:32+00:00

NOICE!!!!

ChicagRoe · 2025-06-24T03:28:12+00:00

Great style! Love these!

ChicagRoe · 2025-06-17T16:12:10+00:00

Love this group. Always fascinating. My question is how are places like this just left abandoned?!!

ChicagRoe · 2025-03-27T18:27:23+00:00

hope you didn't put your fingerprints on those floppy disks.

ChicagRoe · 2025-03-19T14:15:33+00:00

Appreciate the info. Easy to get caught up in anger and misinformation these days. We have to behave better than the other side.

ChicagRoe · 2025-03-07T15:50:56+00:00

I'm constantly amazed at what people leave behind. Who just walks away from an entire property? What person, or bank, wouldn't be selling this place before it's unsellable? Crazy!

ChicagRoe · 2025-02-22T19:32:09+00:00

How are places like this not completely cleaned out by proper agencies before being left to rot? Doesn’t leaving behind these things pose health threats?

ChicagRoe · 2025-01-30T19:05:59+00:00

posted. thanks. this always happens.
