    @JRWhitee -  for the most part you are correct but every so often you have to go north to the SRF grocery for brisket.  Once there comparison pricing is not in the discussion.  FWIW-
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.

    I have done one SRF and have one in the freezer, it was fantastic. I do get the choice packers from RD for about $40 though.

    I'm from SC and family is from Eastern NC. BBQ to me will always be whole hog. Brisket is fine and all, but I've only been blown away by it a few times.

    SRF FTW.

    I'm not a huge fan in general, but the few SRFs have been off the charts.

    Brisket is my favorite item to cook, by far, because I am always learning more as I go. I want to get to perfect, I am still miles away. My favorite food, off the egg, is ribs. They are always better, off the egg, than any other way I have cooked them. 
    Last night's meal was given the highest compliment from our guests. Nobody wanted to use any BBQ sauce, although a couple were made available. They were juicy, and delicious, without the aid of sauce. It is the Egg.

    exactly.  i love pulled pork but it seems easy enough to make it as good as i want.

    brisket, though.... pretty sure i can make it OK but not great.

    I really like Brisket. However there are things that I prefer over it. Anus and clown comes right to mind.

    Brisket seems to be the "Man's BBQ" protein of choice.

    People talk about it like the mouth drooling Mt. Everest that all must strive to perfect.

    Does anyone just not like brisket?
    Meh... Brisket is good, I like it, but pork is king in the Cackalacks.

    I grew up where pork is king and very few bbq joints even offering brisket. I love some pig but brisket is by far my favorite cook because when you get it right it's like finding the white buffalo.

    Brisket is great once or twice a month and if you eat a great brisket.  They can taste like pot roast, but they shouldn't.  I just did my first Creekstone Farms Prime brisket and I (and others who had recently been there) thought it was better than Franklin's.  However, until Franklin raised the bar a few years ago, I had the same view as many who have posted here.  He took it to another level and many have followed.  Brisket from Kreuz, Salt Lick, Rudy's, and other great BBQ places even in central and south Texas was always just "good" (and it still is "good" at those places) until he came along and made brisket great.
