Times are changing. Big names with no lines at noon.
Can you explain more what you mean by this? I don't live in Texas. Are you saying the long waits at places like Franklins (etc) are drying up?

You haven't visited the east coast. There are very few places I venture to eat brisket. Usually, it is accompanied by tears. Things are greatly improved over the last 5-10 years, but more often than not, brisket here is dry as sawdust.
There is no edible brisket within driving range of me. Honestly I've never had one that I liked. This ain't Texas.
I've wondered about 17th Street now that Mike Mills has passed.
I found his first book this past summer, " Peace, Love, and Barbecue " published in 2005. I wish I'd found it when it first came out instead of 18 years late. Its right up there with Franklin's first book to me. It would've changed a lot that I was doing on my WSM at that time.
And I just finished Mike and Amy's second book, " Praise the Lard " , where I got the recipe for his Legendary Ribs, using the Pure Magic rub , and his Apple City sauce. I smoked them on the GF and they were delicious.
Peace Love is a great book
OH the heck with deciding.
I found both books Used-Very Good condition, out of libraries...both from amazon, shipped with tax $14.41.
Can't beat that...less that one book new.
LOL...I need another cookbook like I need another hole in my head...but, what can you do?

Here's another one
The official State Dish of Texas is chili. I don't see brisket ever taking the place of chili. Brisket on a timeline is fairly young. Before brisket, before processed boxed beef there was shoulder cold. Brisket and BabyBack are actually in their historical infancy. They're just the new kids strutting their three stripe shoes at the pencil sharpener.

While Texas may be known for brisket, I've had some pretty mediocre brisket there. GOOD brisket is magical, unfortunately most places can't hit the sweet spot regularly
I won't even try, too expensive to learn on, ribs I can do...:grin:
