This was at a fancy high-end barbecue restaurant in Southern California. My relatives are all from Texas so I know what a brisket is supposed to be.
It doesn’t show well in the photo, but the consistency was “gelatinous”. I don’t think anyone has ever described a brisket that way before. It was just as awful as it looks and sounds.
$40! Which I saved up because it was supposed to be a treat in celebration of some life event that I have forgotten now because it’s been overtaken in my brain by this monstrosity. You could not pay me $40 to eat this again. Bleh.

As a person in SoCal that loves bbq please name it so I never go. Thanks

My pleasure: Babe’s BBQ. This photo was actually taken several years ago and has been languishing on my phone so that I could horrify people with it until I ran across this sub and I was like [raises hand] “I’ve got one!”
At the time the restaurant was in The River shopping mall in Rancho Mirage. A quick Google search reveals that they have moved to Indio. Avoid at all costs.
whisky_biscuit@reddit
Interesting, I checked the place and they do have a brisket dish and it's $28 now. I wonder if they realized that one was a friggin mess and they changed up their approach?
Slack_With_Honor@reddit (OP)
They moved from Rancho Mirage to Indio and I think they revamped their restaurant a bit, so their menu items may have changed. I just looked up their yelp review and people are actually recommending the brisket, and none of the photos show this kind of brisket, so hopefully they learned their lesson and serve something approximating a real brisket now for a reasonable price.
Not about to give them another chance, though.

Your first mistake is going to a BBQ place that considers itself “fancy high-end”
7stroke@reddit
As a northern Floridian who spent a couple years living in California, let me state for the record that absolutely nobody in that state knows how to barbecue properly. It’s like a genetic incapacity or something… and I searched for it. I’ve also spent a decent amount of time out West in general, and it seems that good barbecue ends west of Texas.
FangornLeghorn@reddit
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Cooking meat over fire is the oldest means of cooking and literally everyone everywhere does it well. Stop sucking Texan balls.
7stroke@reddit
You haven’t read much, then.
FangornLeghorn@reddit
The irony if that statement coming from a Floridian trying to extoll the virtues of Texas is hilarity defined.
You are adorable.
7stroke@reddit
I use the term “Floridian” to simplify things here. You probably think I’m some kind of cracker. And you simply cannot read, can you? Am I extolling the virtues of Texas? Anyways, as we say down here, bless your heart.
FangornLeghorn@reddit
Cracker, dipshit, ignoramus… So yeah, Floridian.
7stroke@reddit
You are such a nice person
FangornLeghorn@reddit
Thanks! And I actually know what good BBQ is too! 🥰
KommandoKazumi@reddit

gaping_granny@reddit
I spent 14 years in California up until recently and there's plenty of great regional barbecue in California. It's not white people barbecue though. Most of it is heavily inspired by the different ethnic backgrounds you see living in California. For example, Santa Maria barbecue is inspired by Mexican barbacoa because Santa Maria has generally been a migrant town and many of their residents have family origins in Mexico.
FangornLeghorn@reddit
Some Santa Maria style tri-tip is heaven. I love my Santa Maria attachment on my Weber. Also does chicken like a dream.
willismthomp@reddit
Your monoculture of BBQ is depressed.
7stroke@reddit
Hardly a monoculture. You’ve got east and west Carolinas, you’ve got Georgia, Louisiana, east and west Texas. Virginia and West Virginia… most of these places have unique bbq styles (that are often fought over). There is a wealth of traditions out this way that the West just doesn’t have. And yes, a lot of it has to do with the legacy of slavery, unfortunately…but it’s amazing food

Slack_With_Honor@reddit (OP)
The irony is I have several friends who smoke meat on the regular and make barbecue that is almost as good as what I’ve had in Texas and will just bring me tubs of meat when they make too much.
None of them have restaurants, but all of them will smoke a brisket to order and are least as good as Black’s in Austin. Not quite up to Snow’s level but close.
Slack_With_Honor@reddit (OP)
Babe’s BBQ, at the time this photo was taken they were in Rancho Mirage, now apparently they are in Indio. I assume their food has not improved any.
These-Performer-8795@reddit
There is a literal grill named after California Style. Santa Maria...
501uk@reddit
And doesn't the state itself spend half of the year on fire? Between that and the probable skin cancer from sun, I'd be in favour of renaming it the BBQ state. What's it's current motto?
Pluviotrekkie@reddit
According to google: “California’s official state motto is "Eureka," which is Greek for "I have found”
3PoundsOfFlax@reddit
Except that's not true. California barbecue has been a thing since the vaqueros in the 19th Century, particularly in the central region. They would grill and smoke meats on red oak that is native there with an emphasis on spice and savoriness (rather than sugary sauces).
Just like Texas, the entire barbecue (and cowboy) scene was appropriated from Northern Mexican culture, so it's bold of Texans to pretend to be an authority on what counts as "real BBQ."
That said, the bullshit posted by OP is certainly not the kind of barbecue that I am talking about.
Violet_Apathy@reddit
I've had some amazing bbq at random gas stations in California
BlazinAzn38@reddit
California-style BBQ is more grilling than smoking though which is an important distinction. Central/North Texas BBQ is actually of German/Czech origin as opposed to cowboy originated panhandle area which is more direct heat
VoiceArtPassion@reddit
Wasn’t Texas originally part of northern Mexico?
3PoundsOfFlax@reddit
Yes that's precisely the point. BBQ has existed in both Texas and California for hundreds of years. Hostile Anglo settlers came and appropriated the culture, and now their descendants in Texas think they're somehow the authority on BBQ in the American Southwest.
KommandoKazumi@reddit
Yes.
WJSpade@reddit
Heavy on the moron, apparently.
granadesnhorseshoes@reddit
As a bbq loving texan that loves to cook and experiment, I can attest to the fact that you can take "low and slow" too far and end up with something like you describe: Gelatinous.
If the place didn't reek of a fire pit but was some "clean" high end restaurant I can only assume they were attempting to approximate a smoked brisket with some combination of suas vede, liquid smoke and trickery. Sounds like they failed miserably. I have tried similar, with very hit and miss results. Even when the results were tasty and texture appropriate, it LOOKED like ass so i suspect the cut and presentation is attempting to hide that.
culturejelly@reddit
I've cooked a few briskets sous vide and even my worst didn't come out looking this bad. My best guess is that they used sous vide method but overcooked it, chilled it still in the bag so that it would retain more of the rendered fat and gelatin, and then sliced it cold and steamed it to temperature to serve. Whoever prepared this should be ashamed.
granadesnhorseshoes@reddit
I 100% believe that. I did say it could be done. Even the good results looking like "ass" is probably just the texas elitism (those two words don't feel like they belong together.)
eduardgustavolaser@reddit
It's written sous vide, but honestly that mistake makes me trust your opinion on bbq so much more lol
jazzbot247@reddit
I think with AI autocorrecting our words constantly and incorrectly we can show a little grace with misspelling. I just got done typing the word notice 3x because AI thought it was appropriate to insert norice instead.
MildlySaltedTaterTot@reddit
blud you might be mistyping

jazzbot247@reddit
No, not typing the word correctly 3x. You should reread your barely coherent comment - no wonder you don’t notice AI incorrectly replacing your words. What is blud?

Cheap_Ad7002@reddit
I’m sorry but did you send it back? I love brisket so much and to see a plate like that is pmo.
regeya@reddit
It made me think of watching a Rick Bayless episode once where they showed how his fancy Chicago restaurant made carnitas. And they did this weird shit where they shredded the pork, put it in trays, put them in the fridge with weight on them, and then cubed it up and fried them in the rendered pork fat. It looked so weird and was so labor intensive.
For folks who don't know who he is, he's a white Okie who travels through Mexico and teaches people how to cook the more authentic foods at home. It's a show on PBS. I think I prefer Pati's Table; she's actually Mexican and isn't nearly as precious about authenticity. Both shows have pointed out how multicultural Mexican food is, though.
terminbee@reddit
Damn, first time I've seen someone mention Rick Bayless and Pati on PBS. He is a little pretentious about Mexican food but dude also has apparently cooked for presidents and stuff.
regeya@reddit
They both have, from what I remember. Yeah he's a little pretentious and precious about it but I enjoyed how well he and his daughter work together. I would have watched her show if she's gone on to do one. Maybe she did and it's not in my market, I don't know.
What I wished for from him, were more hints on what I like to think of as actually authentic, which is that for a lot of what Jeff Smith lovingly called "peasant food' they weren't hunting down imported ingredients in a groceria, they were using what they had. Like he points out, there's several different plants that are called "Mexican oregano" and it's nice to instead be able to take a list to the grocery store and/or farmer's market and come home with stuff that'll do in a pinch.
Slack_With_Honor@reddit (OP)
This sounds plausibly close, so much so that this is my guess now as to what they were trying to achieve. They failed.
scud121@reddit
It's probably his Michelin starred restaurant. He's been fanatical about mexican cuisine since the late 70s, his show has 12 seasons iirc, but I know him from the top chef masters series. .

Over_Resource_2763@reddit

You're in SoCal. Save the brisket for Texas and get tri tip.
charleslennon1@reddit

Commie_Scum69@reddit
first time reading "Fancy and High end" with bbq. Usually its more like "Welcoming and Family oriented"
Seems like they had no idea what they were doing and trying to make you pay top dollar for it.
Slack_With_Honor@reddit (OP)
This is so very accurate.
We made the mistake of thinking, oh, this looks like a fancy high-end place, I bet they really know what they’re doing, to be able to charge that kind of money for it. I was hoping for something like Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse but for BBQ. Lesson learned. 
Alien_Amplifier13@reddit

BlazinAzn38@reddit
It looks like they didn’t trim the fat cap at all which is probably why it felt gelatinous. There’s just like partially rendered out 1/2 inch thick layer of fat on each of those cubes
dascobaz@reddit
lol it looks like tofu
Zalezagoon@reddit

Cyber-X1@reddit
$40 is insane. Do you live in orbit or something? :)
danfish_77@reddit
Why is it cube
Slack_With_Honor@reddit (OP)
Because somehow or another, they made it gelatinous and they were serving it in cubes like Jell-O. It did not have the consistency of meat, nor would anyone ever mistake it for meat. It was basically brisket. Purée held together by some kind of sweet sauce. It makes me angry just typing those words. FORTY DOLLARS did I mention that let me say it again, FORTY DOLLARS.
If they tried to feed me this in prison, I would starve to death.
goldstat@reddit
You can clearly see that it wasn't pureed...

Not standing up for the place but Burger King is like $40 in California money. I wouldn’t be expecting much for $40 brisket even in parts of Ohio.
Slack_With_Honor@reddit (OP)
Just the brisket no sides, full meal was $70. And I still tipped because it was not the server’s fault that she worked there.
Also, this was a couple years ago, the pic had been sitting on my phone waiting for me to find this sub. It’s prob $70 by itself now.

Still gotta send that back. You can tip the server regardless.

I’m assuming they meant just for that one plate? I’m in a medium high-cost-of-living area and a typical good BBQ restaurant will have something like a brisket platter entree with 2 sides for less than $30.

So, you're saying it was a giant McRib, all cubed up?

It’s shit like this that has made me stop going out to eat so much and only going to the handful of places I know are good.
I get that everything is more expensive now. I get that they need to make a profit to stay in business but if you’re charging me $25-30 or more for a plate of food it better be damn good.
I rarely eat fast food but was shocked at how expensive even that has become on a recent road trip. Fast food used to be fast and cheap so you could forgive the lack of quality but it’s slow and expensive and shit shitty.

This is sous vide brisket, hit with a torch before it went out. The complete grayness of it makes me think it wasn't exposed to any kind of smoke, liquid or otherwise. The chef here needs to be told that it isn't a fine dining cut, and shouldn't be treated that way.

Well, I’ve spotted your problem. It’s 60 bucks because you’re in California and it’s terrible brisket because it’s in California. The one caveat to this would be if you were in a good Mexican restaurant, they would make you some good barbacoa, which is similar enough in that it is slow-cooked beef. They’d probably throw you out for putting a tomato-based bbq sauce on it, but it wouldn’t taste bad.
