They do great brisket almost all over the state...but if you don't like it as the recipe shows, you might not like it anywhere...your choice...I love a good corned beef also...but we do LOTS more brisket on the grill in Tx than corned beef...

Bet you would like some babyback ribs, though...also cooked low and slow...You don't have to eat beans with BBQ, just lots of folks like them...I personally like good potato salad or slaw, and a really cold beer just hits the spot..probably Shiner Bock...

Must be that Mason/Dixon Line thing....north for good corned beef and south for great BBQ...Check out Bobby Flay on the Food Channel, he is as Yankee as it gets and he is the grill Master...loves BBQ....
