BBQ Nirvana

Just look at these pictures ....





Makes ya almost wanna dive right through the monitor & dig in! lol

They come from places in the nexus of beef BBQ that is Lockhart, Texas.

Enjoy !


Later!

The food looks ok- a little better than average. Of course, pictures often don't do their subjects justice! The porn part? Maybe I'm too old, been married too long, or whatever, but I'm sorry- I just don't get it! BTW- are the pictures ones of food you've Q'd? I'm assuming that they came from retail BBQ joints because of your statement saying they're from places, as opposed to one place- your backyard. If they're not from your backyard- I'd encourage you to try making BBQ yourself, if you don't already make your own BBQ! I'm sure you could do just as good, if not better, and for a fraction of what it would cost you to buy from a BBQ joint! I recognize pork spareribs, brisket, and sausage. Anything else?

I'm not sure of wanting to dive into the monitor to eat that to tell you the truth...
(but, HEY.. I am only one person, and you asked for opinions!)

One pic looks like a rare piece of prime rib to me..
I love rare prime, but just what is that supposed to be>
Nothing telling us what it is..I see sausage. and a rib..and some kinda of beef..

What is so outstanding about these pics?
Sorry...

Blacks, Kreuz or Smitty's???? Love them all!

Yes, I want to take the dive. That prime rib is luscious. That's Kreuz, right? That is porn because I am objectifying it, looking at it with my unblinking gaze. In person, though, that's a love affair, encompassing all my senses. But love it slowly, enjoy it. This isn't Arby's, wham bam no thank you, ma'am. This is the ecstasy promised to all living things. It's beauty almost makes me wanna cry.

The Pastrimi Sandwich looks good. But Food PORN, YUCK!

Lady of the Law

Apparently, I am not getting the pastrami sandwich on my thread-I see none.As far as the rest of it goes, the meat looks excellent!Who really cares where it came from, who really cares if it is food porn......it looks good, we were having fun, and that is what counts....

ok-saw the pastrami sandwich-absolutely wonderful!!and NOT too much coleslaw.........

Made me hungry, and I get the food porn analogy !

What porn and eating a whole mess of great "Q" have in common is that you usually need a shower after each!

this criticism and advice is coming from a guy that did't know how to prepare a basic corned beef brisket for a Reuben sandwich................ lol, some people ! ............. lol

Just because I've never made corned beef brisket for reubens does not mean in any way that I don't know how to Q!! I'll put my beef brisket, spareribs, pulled pork, and whole chickens against yours any day ....................lol, SOME PEOPLE!!.............. lol

sorry BBQ JimBob if you didn't like my response to your post.
It was quite obvious that Cary MG was very proud of his post of wonderful pictures of BBQ foods and your response to him was not very kind............ so I just gave you a little bit of what you dished out ...pun intended. ............. I'm very sure your BBQ is the best so I'll decline your proposal that we compete Q for Q. .................
will you be posting a pic of that Reuben sandwich you made or perhaps some photos of your "Q" ?? I'm sure we'd all love to see them..... Frank

That's fine- no problem here- you dish it out, and I'll spoon it up- pun intended! As you can see, however, I did add the disclaimer that pictures often do not do justice to the subject, as very well may have been the case here.

As far as my Q being the best- Hey, I'd like to think that it is, but I'm sure it's not- although it is pretty darn good!

As to the reubens, like I stated earlier, I decided not to do the brisket on the grill/smoker, as my back was not up to it! My step-daughter then forgot to cook it in her slow cooker today before they went out of town, so I guess the plans now are for us to go to their place Monday for reubens. Unfortunately, that meant ordering pizzas for everyone tonight!

As to pictures of Q, etc, I may know a little about BBQ, but I'm "technologically challenged" when it comes to computers. I don't have a digital camera, and don't know how to post pictures. Can it even be done w/o a digital "picture-taking" apparatus?

I would pay good money to see food porn. Oh, let's face it, I already have.

With the innards on the outside it looks like a Rye Bread sandwich to me.

John

I agree, if you have to eat it with a fork it's not a sandwich.

That is some good looking Pastrami even if it is on the wrong side of the bread.

LOL

Food porn is an interesting concept in itself. What is it actually? Suggestive pictures of food? Suggestive writing about food? Does it have any connection with sexuality at all? Who defines this stuff?

Government usually defines porn and it does vary greatly from decade to decade, administration to administration. We have seen this when high officials were embarrassed by nude statues in Washington and demanded to the tune of "Chattanooga choo-choo" Sir your statue needs a tutu. This person saw porn when he knew it, when others for centuries saw art.

It is a complex concept and probably beyond the confines of these forums. People are endlessly different and see what they want to see. I reckon that is the scary part of it all.

Then again, perhaps we are not talking about sexuality at all. Perhaps food itself is becoming obscene. Government our constant friend, is endlessly telling us what is and is not obscene regarding food. Perhaps it can be summed up in an old Louis Armstrong song, "All that meat and no potatoes."

If you look closely there is bread on the bottom, too.
