This was much better BBQ attempt. Almost didn't risk it after the brisket debacle. Authentic Beef short rib and poutine Texas bbq

Getting "authentic" Texas BBQ that comes with poutine is like getting "authentic" Chinese food that comes with a Bhan Mi sandwich. There is no such thing as authentic US poutine because it is a Canadian dish.

For everyone else re: Queso vs. Poutine - They are too different to be compared to each other. Queso is fucking awesome and you can throw any sort of meat into it to make it great. Poutine has thick brown gravy over fries and there is no red-blooded American that could deny the appeal of those two things together.

Fries are supposed to be crispy. Wont say is /hate/ poutine, but I never willingly buy anything with soggy fries. Covered, smothered, gravy or cheesy fries? PASS.

Now if I was in France, I'd probably try whatever they shoveled in front of me. Absolute hell hole of a country in most ways, but damned if they can't cook. I've had quite a few meals that sound mid or kinda not great on paper be absolutely amazing in that country. If anyone is going to make soupy texas poutine delicious, it'd be the french.

I hear that, soggy fries are a pass. BUT, if you get it right they have the fries super crispy and the fresh cheese & gravy are poured over it. Just like Nachos will get soggy if you let them sit for 10+ min, poutine needs to be eaten straight away to be enjoyable.

Most likely from alcohol abuse. The only thing worthwhile to come from that documentary was counter-documentary Fat Head.

Exactly, like I said their apples and oranges. Both are completely wonderful, but they each have their place and their appropriate use in the culinary world.

I will say one thing with poutine, it's easier to make a meal out of it, unless you use queso to make a giant plate of nachos. There was a place back in college we used to go to called Zapata's on Northgate, and you could order a trash can lid, it was literally a metal garbage can lid used as a baking sheet cake filled with nachos. Covered in beans, meat, pico de gallo, and copious amounts of queso. Quality wise is pretty lackluster, but when you're a poor college kid, it was a feast. Would go there on the weekends and I remember one dude putting away like a half of it by himself, this is the same man who also ate a football size pot roast and one sitting. He was one of the best drinking buddies I ever had.

God bless the man.

I agree though queso and poutine might be similar but they're radically different, and each have their own wonderful place in The culinary world.

You know that fucker got quadruple vaxxed or whatever. Oh Jesus, I shouldn't laugh at it but I can't help myself. Maybe he's in hell surrounded by Big Macs and quarter pounders attacking him Non-Stop?

This.

Texas or Southwest BBQ (Texas/Oklahoma mostly) is traditionally brisket. The sides that you can get with this are green beans, pinto beans, coleslaw, mac and cheese, baked potatoes. Along with some classic desserts like cobbler.

That is Texas BBQ. It never comes with fries if you're going for authentic. Old fashioned BBQ places never serve fries.

Yeah typically if you're going to get a potato based dish with barbecue it's going to be a stuffed Spud. Recycle play some Brennan when I was growing up call Brazos valley barbecue. What's this little shack right on main Street, and I don't believe they're open any longer, but you could get one there and for maybe 5 or $6, get up brisket loaded baked potato that was just massive, and it was an utter meal.

That's not to say though that if you couldn't do double fried or triple fried fries or chips in the British style where they're more like steak fries, you couldn't incorporate them into some delicious barbecue fare.

It's hard to beat a good smoked baked potato though. I always get a few around especially if I know I'm going to do pulled pork or some other form of barbecue, Eminem if you evenings I'll go ahead and bust out potatoes and we'll do a revamp for leftovers. Always the best when it's cold outside. Just rib sticking goodness.
