"Born as a passion project by Christopher McGhee and William Spence, this Austin food truck merges barbecue with biscuits, a combination sparked when their smoked strawberry jelly proved to pair perfectly with brisket. The menu is now biscuit-focused, with standouts like the brisket-and-biscuit sandwich with smoked strawberry jam, pork belly with spiced apple pear preserves, and a simple egg sandwich biscuit; there’s also a sausage program they pride themselves on, offering three links at all times—try the blueberry sausage with smoked blueberry jam or the Texas hot gut sausage with pepper jelly. First-timers should stick with brisket and jelly and add a link of sausage on the side. Taking a barbecue approach to breakfast, they also offer basics like tomato/bacon egg & cheeses, all built on big, sturdy biscuits that let prime brisket and other high-quality meats shine. Nothing goes to waste here: brisket trim becomes sausages, pork belly trim turns into burnt ends, and biscuit scraps are made into cinnamon rolls. Plan on roughly $12–$30 per person (biscuit sandwiches run $10–$18, and plates or smoked add-ons like sausage or wings push it into the $20s–$30s). The best time to visit is lunch on Thursday or Friday—weekday afternoons have the shortest waits—while Saturdays and Sundays are busiest with tougher parking; the team hopes to grow into a brick-and-mortar with a full coffee program one day." - Kevin Chau
