I wish I could say I made this but I'm mostly sharing it because I think it would make for an interesting concoction and I'm thinking if I take the time to write it down, maybe I'll actually do it.  Also, it might be a dish for one of our more adventurous specialty chefs in the forum to try out before I get around to making it.  Anyway, here goes.

Vietnamese BBQ Variation: (Essentially, Rice Noodle Soup with Brisket slices added)

Broth:

Pot of boiling water (think crab boiler size)

plus smoked beef rib bones (just the bones, no meat or fat whatsoever)

charred onion

charred ginger

half chicken skin on

hunk of cane sugar (golf ball size, or two, little smaller)

cook for six hours

At 4-hour mark add

cinnamon bark

salt

fish sauce (to taste)

fennel

coriander

sardi? (sounds like, not sure what was said, here)

Cooled, strained rice noodles + hot broth

top off with

cilantro, basil, bean sprouts, scallion

vinegar-ed onions,

Add brisket slice or two to bowl of rice soup
