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.
How do you both burn and undercook fucking chicken
dylanTheDeveloper, please tell me where you see chicken in the picture.
I think they were making a commentary about their experiences at "the new BBQ place in town" not specifically what is shown in the OP image
Aah, when I briefly lived in the states, I never experienced this "simultaneously burnt and undercooked chicken" phenomenon. I didn't realize it was a meme.
grill being 1500 °C instead of a reasonable cooking temperature
The cost is in the black gloves. It means quality
ah yes, nitrile instead of latex
We'd burn a place like that down here in Kansas City and then smoke some ribs over the fire.
And yet, Dickeys BBQ still exists!
Go Chiefs!!
I honestly don't know how that place is open.
It's the free kiddie cones! Mother fuckers love a free kiddie cone!
But you're right, with Bryant's, L.C.'s, Gates, jackstack, etc.... it's hard to believe they're still around.
Once a good BBQ place turns into a chain, it's all over. It's pretty hard to smoke meat the way you need to for good BBQ across a ton of locations. You need a person running the joint that has such an insane passion for it that they wake up at 4 am to start smoking because they LIKE to. Can't put that in a bottle and sell it across various locations, unfortunately. At least, not cheaply/easily, which is capitalism's whole MO.
Where should I go for brisket/burnt ends next time I'm up there?
Try what others have said, then try Harp BBQ & Q39
“Ooooh they give you white bread with it!” -Texans, probably
No, the white bread has to be under the meat to sop up the juices and sauce friend.
Stereotype us right at least.
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 as if someone had pulled half a loaf out and said “fuck it, it’s $.30 worth of bread”. What you do with it is your business but I’m not gonna pretend I believe you are the norm.
Also, I think it’s hilarious that part of the food culture there is someone clearly spitefully giving you an amount of bread they believe you won’t complain about. I guarantee people still ask for more bread, don’t they? I worked at Olive Garden, they do.
Sorry you’re the vehicle for my main beef with Texas, at least it’s a small one. In the Midwest we put ranch on everything and don’t have a reason to be alive so pobody’s nerfect.
Texan here. The shitty white bread at barbecue places is what we call napkins or mops. Their purpose is to mop up all of the grease and sauce on the plate after you have finished eating your barbecue. They are NOT meant for putting your brisket in and eating like a sandwich. We use the shittiest bread possible because that's what works the best for mopping purposes. Also, it's free. Half of the places just set loaves of it out by the condiments. Then you can grab however many slices you need wherever without asking.
And on top does no good anyway, all the yummy stuff goes to the bottom of the plate.
I would be pissed at six pieces too.
On an individual plate there should only be two.
I have seen the group plate bread before but never trust other peoples dick grabbers to be clean.
What's wrong with asking for more bread at olive garden? It's the only thing halfway decent and pretty much a core value of keeping the doors open at that place.
Nothing wrong with it man, ask away. They put a lot of effort into making it hard to give you the amount of breadsticks a human would require because they want to sell you to go breadsticks. So standard was table plus one first basket, number of people at the table for subsequent baskets. I wanted you to have the bread, I also wanted tips from my other tables. People underestimate how long it takes to grab something and how long that can feel for another table who hasn’t been greeted (that’s a good 2 minutes). It’s not your fault, but it’s stressful.
Edit: I want to add a little perspective. When I left Olive Garden I worked at a restaurant where the only thing unlimited was water and handled up to 16 tables. My section at Olive Garden was 3 during peak hours, up to about 6 off hours.
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
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
Aaaah I didn't know redd.that had a memes community, this made me so excited 😍
The post now has ~500 voted and the community only has 426 subs. So I'd say you are not the only one 😂
LOL good point 😆
“excuse me, can i have some bbq sauce?”
You know what's annoying is my favourite BBQ place where I studied at university had almost this exact fucking aesthetic, just with better rendered food. Tasted fucking good though
I'd rather get some bandanas.
