Until It's Gone
All meat is fresh from the pit daily and we do our best to anticipate how much we'll need.
As featured in Vogue and Bon Appetit. Moist and flavorful. These are the 3-time "Grand World Champion" winners at Memphis in May. We consider these the "filet mignon of barbecue." They're sprinkled with Magic Dust®, then slowly cooked in our pit with a combination of apple & cherry woods for about six hours. You'll notice a light pink to rosy cast to the meat a result only achieved by slow cooking with wood.
Chopped, dusted, lightly sauced.
Certified Angus Beef. Sliced, dusted, and lightly sauced.
