re: Have we had our annual Brisket is not BBQ thread yet this summer?

Went to Kansas City to try their BBQ and was very underwhelmed. Tried a couple of places and their ribs were good, brisket bland and dry, sausage bland, chicken was ok but nothing great, pulled pork had a weird tang. But the beans were the worst, either too sweet, or too thin.

We've road tripped all over the country, including KC many times. We've eaten at lots of BBQ joints along the way. More than once, my wife has told me, "It's not as good as yours." I always remind her, "I'm cooking for 3, not 300 or 3,000." No matter how good a pitmaster is, I think something is lost when things are scaled up to restaurant production quantities.
