    Recently got Mission BBQ (chain BBQ joint) after not having gone in a while, and got 3 miniature slices of brisket, a tiny cup of mac & cheese and a piece of cornbread that was MAYBE 1 square inch and that shit was like $22. It’s been a while, but the price to product ratio was way worse than the last time visited.

    I don’t know which hipster BBQ place started the trend of giving you a thimble of food for mid-high tier sit-down restaurant prices, but they can fuck all the way off.

      Mission had to be one of the worst places I’ve ever been. Super expensive, not good food, and every inch of the place is covered in bootlicker propaganda. Would NEVER go back.

      I recently moved from TN to somewhere where BBQ isn’t as prevalent. I had never heard of Mission BBQ (didn’t know it was a chain either) until I moved here and figured I’d give it a shot because it was the only option.

      My expectations were low, but goddamn was that food awful. They charged me $30 for the most tasteless brisket, undercooked ribs, and collard greens that may as well have been a soup. Their very existence is offensive to me.

      i don’t understand it because surely they could just give you a reasonable amount of food without markedly affecting their profit margins? do they really think they’ll maintain a customer base when they serve a fifth of a meal?

      pizzerias over here have it figured out: sure you can charge a lot if that’s what it takes to survive as a business, but then you also make sure to give people like 1.5 meals worth of food, then it actually feels worth it and people won’t chafe at the idea of giving you patronage.

      • TheOgreChef@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Agreed on all points. To be honest, I don’t really even care that portions are smaller, just don’t charge me more for less (the ol shrinkflation bit). You’re absolutely right about the patronage thing too, they’ll get me once, with the bullshit, but never twice. It’s just not a forward thinking way to handle a business.

    • NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      No, the white bread has to be under the meat to sop up the juices and sauce friend.

      Stereotype us right at least.

      • MrMamiya@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Damn dawg my parents send me a lot of pictures of bbq when they’re down there and it’s always about 6 slices of white bread sitting on top of everything. What you do with it is your business but I’m not gonna pretend I believe you.

    When I was traveling all over the world for work, I learned really quickly to skip the local BBQ joint when I was in the south. They pretty much universally mediocre if not flat out bad.

    Now the local burger and malt shop in the upper Midwest. Count me in.

    • Auzymundius@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      What do you consider the South and/or good BBQ? There are a few different styles of BBQ and quite a few major BBQ cities in the South.

      source
      • The_v@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Been everywhere from Texas across to the Atlantic. I was meeting dealers and farmers. So both in the cities and small towns. I would fly in somewhere then drive all over the place and grab lunch wherever the local farmer or dealer we were meeting wanted to eat.

        Yeah, I got taken out to the “best BBQ that you just have to try” so many times across the region. They are all very proud of it, and is all bleh…

    We’d burn a place like that down here in Kansas City and then smoke some ribs over the fie.

      Sounds dangerous down there.

      Where should I go for brisket/burnt ends next time I’m up there?

      source
      • boeman@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Jack stack (the martin city location), Joe’s kc, slaps. For ribs, toss gates, bb’s lawnside and maybe q39 (the 39th st location)

        source
      • Lexam@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        When it comes to burnt ends, my absolute hands down favorite sandwich is the Burnt End On Bun at Gates. For good brisket can’t beat Q39.

        Try what others have said, then try Harp BBQ & Q39

    Americans will make fun of British food, then insist this is peak cuisine.

      This is not “peak cuisine”. That is literally part of the joke.

        Yeah, no shit, that’s literally part of my joke.

    But at least artisanal sodas and a separate counter/line to order a beer?

    source
  • parricc@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    That place would never survive in Central Texas. 😂 Here, a place with brisket that’s actually not sad looking would charge about $7 for a plate like that.

    Unfortunately, it’s far too tempting to order 10 times more food than that.

      I only buy brisket by the pound. Good brisket is just too tasty.

    You know what's annoying is my favourite BBQ place where I studied at university had almost this exact fucking aesthetic just better rendered food. Tasted fucking good though

    all the chicken places that just clone each other’s menu

      The chicken place where their “world famous sandwich” is a 4 inch thick breast on a soggy, squished bun that stops existing 4 bites in, with pickles, if you’re lucky

      Whether you’re ketchup, vinegar, mustard, or dry rub, there’s one thing we can all agree on. That shit ain’t bbq.

  • Copythis@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I went to a food truck at the local university that only sells Macaroni and cheese (with sides). That’s it.

    It was the worst macaroni and cheese I’ve ever had. And the tritip was all gristle, so I couldn’t even eat that. $20 gone just like that
