Number Seven on the list of Texas food...
Brisket!
Barbecue brisket is definitely cooked on the grill or smoked in a smoker. There is no other way to cook it. You can smoke a brisket on Sunday and eat great sandwiches all week long.
I love a good brisket, but I am not particularly good at cooking the darn things. They're big, heavy and require a lot of patience which I do not possess. So I just order one from one of the great BBQ houses in the great state of Texas!
There are legendary barbecue houses all over the state of Texas and especially in the Hill Country where I live.
The one I would mail order a brisket from is Coopers Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que in Llano, Texas.
This classic roadside barbecue joint serves meat smoky and tender. It's cooked outside over giant pits of oak wood embers, sending flavorful smoke all over the small Hill Country Town. Choose from beef brisket, ribs, pork shoulders or even goat, which Raichlen says tastes like "lamb with an hang-over."
