If this ever gets to you Franklin, you inspired me with your BBQ vids a decade ago to do barbecue where the only thing people knew was the gas grill. When the vids stopped I was sad, but I kept going, made my own smoker and never looked back. Thank you and PBS for bringing it all back!

My Grandfather raised and butchered his own Black Angus beef. I wish I would have got his gound beef recipe from him before he passed away as it is the BEST ground beef I've ever had. I have never in my life tasted ground beef with the flavor my Grandfather's ground beef had. Whether it was pan-fried, grilled, or eaten tar-tar, there was a very unique flavor to it. There are times when I think about my Grandmother cooking burgers and my mouth will start watering...lol I'm sure a lot of it was due to how the cattle were raised, but I'm also sure there was magic in the mixture of cuts he used.

My mother is from Taylor, so I've eaten at Muellers many times. The back of the t-shirt says The Gospel according to Louie, 9 parts pepper to one part salt. Sounds like too much pepper, but their bark is like no other. I always get brisket and a beef rib, just for the bark.

Everyone says Beef Ribs, but there is a big difference in taste and texture between beef plate ribs and beef back ribs. I personally love beef back ribs. They are off of the ribeye. There is less meat on them and the ribs are smaller, but I prefer the taste and texture. When someone says beef ribs, I always wonder...which kind of beef rib are they taking about?
