General Discussion

Three or four years ago, we decided to cut back on meat by 75% and never really looked back. But once every two or three months, we'd get a obscene amount of brisket from Riscky's BBQ in the DFW area to take home and dig into. Last time we were about to, we checked the menu online, saw the prices and immediately decided to go to (insert name of fast food joint here jeered by people who loudly bray how evolved their taste buds are compared to regular schmuck's like me) instead.

In the past two months, the local price for a pound of brisket has increased by just under 30%. I figure a guy would have to be Wall Street wealthy to afford that and a couple of sweet teas to go with it... we ain't there, so we enjoyed the (elsewhere) burritos instead.
