Oklahoma BBQ in Texas, from Chris Tucker
Just back from a family reunion in Surfside Beach, TX. My sister's husband is an erstwhile chef at Rosie's Rib Joint in Tulsa and he did us proud on Tuesday with a huge beef brisket that he smoked up fine and brought down frozen. I was surprised that the freezing had little ill effect on the meat; still tender sweet and tangy. Outstanding.
I never frequented Rosie's or the Rib Crib when I lived in Tulsa, my crowd always preferred crossing the tracks and running up to Wilson's back when they had only the one location. Wax paper on a tray, no plates, just darned good food. Mr. Wilson and his crew always made us feel at home.
