“We are probably one of the best gas station restaurants in the world.” Today, Bon Appétit spends a day on the line with Chef Hong Tran, co-owner of Brisket & Rice in Houston, Texas. Brisket & Rice is located in an old Church’s Chicken next to a gas station serving Texas craft barbecue with fried rice inspired by the Vietnamese flavors the owners grew up eating.
Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes grilled brisket with peanut salsa. Normally, you associate brisket with long, slow cooking—maybe on a winter afternoon—but we’re making a case for throwing it on the grill. Freezing the brisket makes it easier to slice it against the grain, which nullifies its naturally ropy texture and exposes more surface area to the flavorful marinade.
The key to success in this recipe is time. Don’t try and rush the brisket by turning up the heat—that will only dry it out and make it tougher. Let it go low and slow until the meat is shreddable, and if you’re not sure if it’s ready, let it go a bit longer.
You have to show up early if you want to eat some of the best brisket in the world at Austin, Texas' Franklin BBQ. There's a long wait and they're usually sold out by 2:00 pm, so get there first thing in the morning if you want to eat their delicious sausages, pork ribs, pulled pork, and brisket
