Brisket Breakfast
Christopher Locke
Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Micklethwait Craft Meats, and gorge myself on their tasty brisket. This is barbecue done right!
I tried the Frito Pie, with a side of potato salad, and topped it off with a little bit of their buttermilk pie. How delightful!
The Frito Pie had a big hunk of savory brisket on top, a small mountain of chili, all piled on a bed of crispy, salty, crunchy Fritos, with a couple of plant parts scattered around. The potato salad was a substantial portion, and had the perfect balance of carbs and mayo. The buttermilk pie was exactly what you would hope to find if someone offered you buttermilk pie. What more can I say?
Just a reminder... Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Granola bars are fine, if you're a bear and you eat a dozen of them. The semi-sophisticated life calls for a hearty breakfast. Otherwise, you're just setting yourself up for failure.
