Interesting-looking New Texas-Style Barbecue Joint in Philly

I know these things never seem to pan out far from the area that specializes in the cuisine, but this place looks like it has some potential. It doesn't open until mid-November, but here is a video with the owners and chef that shows the brisket-fact-finding tour they took to Texas Hill Country. And these are people who have a positive track-record in the Philly restaurant scene; albeit not with barbecue: http://www.percystreet.com/video.html

They all look a little hot in Texas. Like they are wondering if they will have AC in the kitchen!

The two men are investors. I'm not sure about the female chef. The one guy (Solomonov) is also a pretty well known chef in Philadelphia, but his current restaurant specializes in Middle Eastern food). The chef is coming from a restaurant where she had a fairly unique southern-influenced menu, but it wasn't barbecue.

I do have to laugh at them putting a knife and fork to ribs. You can see that they are sampling a beef rib in this manner. A important part of the 'rib' experience is gnawing on the bone. ===They all look a little hot in Texas.

I give them credit. I would be weeping in the walk-in about how Sushi is a much "cooler" idea.

No "head chef", either!  I'm guessing that the guy who said that barbecue isn't super-serious food has never witnessed a major competition. EDIT: Oops, I wasn't clear. The serious part of barbecue is the prep and cooking, not the consumption! Brad

Did I hear someone say BEEF rib ?!?! I'm always excited to hear about a new BBQ joint, espescially one that may serve BEEF ribs! They are getting harder to find, as a few of my favorite places just took them off the menu... (like FAT JACKS BBQ in NJ.... www.fatjacks.net boo hoo!!
