DFW BBQ Tour

[Rick Modena]

I went back yesterday and got another drive through special, sandwich, fries and tea. The brisket was moist and tender just like on Saturday. I can't believe that place has been alluding me for so long. I' don't know how many times I have had to go to English color right next door and never stopped in...

Damnit that looks good.

I wouldn't mind going with you on some of these trips you're making but most of my week is taken up by work. Unless you'll be around the Fort Worth area, I could probably swing it for lunch.

That looks good Jose!

I didn't really notice, but my first helping was superb, as was the first time I went and got a sandwich. Maybe they give the AYCE peeps dry left over pieces, haha!

I got the same thing Jose did for the first round. The brisket was very moist and flavorful, the ribs and sausage very good. I too got the AYCE, so for the second round I got turkey, ham and more brisket. So far imo Hutchins is only second to Slow Bone, I'll have to give the Lockhart OC location another chance and I can't wait for Pecan Lodge.

I don't know about you Henry but I had some dry pieces of brisket on my second "helping" so it seemed a little inconsistent IMO.

As far as ranking, if I included Slow Bone I would think it's second behind Lockhart Plano with Hutchins being third. I really like Hutchins jalapeno sausage though, it's a very close second to Lockhart.

did you smuggle in your zip loc bags?

lol.

I did bring a bucket full of golf balls to put in the back of your truck, so when you drove off they would be bouncing around your bed, my wife was lhao at my dastardly evil plan, but you ruined it by not showing up, ASSHOLE!

Sorry bro.

Thankfully traffic was light as Hutchins was about an hour's drive from my house. I got up there about 10:50am and the parking lot already had a few cars parked there and people waiting by the door (always a good sign). Not to mention the drive through was already two cars deep and they weren't even open yet.

So Henry shows up and we get in line. No one else posted in the morning that they were showing so I wasn't expecting anyone else. As we wind through the line I can see the pits were the food is being kept warm. Reminds me of the pits I had seen at some of the BBQ joints in Lockhart, TX as well as the original Hard Eight. We opted for the all you can eat ($17) rather than the three meat plate as it's only a few dollars more. The sides are also all you can eat.

So I opt for brisket, jalapeno sausage, and ribs with a sides of the jalapeno beans and the mac and cheese (think it had some bacon in it). I really like the rub, it had a nice flavor of salt and pepper. The jalapeno sausage had a nice snap to the casing and the sausage tasted awesome. So far on this tour it's second only to Lockhart. Ribs were very good and brisket was good but inconsistent. I had two servings of the brisket and some slices were moist while others were dry.

Overall a very good trip and I would recommend it to anyone. Be sure to go hungry.
