"The first thing you’ll notice about La Barbecue’s brisket is that it’s very heavy on the pepper. But once you’re past that thick layer of peppercorns, you’ll find meat that’s practically begging to be pulled apart with a gentle tug of the fingers. La Barbecue cuts their brisket a little thicker than other spots in town, which makes each bite satisfying. Be sure to order a side of kimchi to go with it—the spice and acidity help cut through it all. " - nicolai mccrary
