Exactly, it looks like a low rent version of Butcher, and the food tastes like a low rent version of Butcher's food. I'd say they definitely missed on the concept. Please don't tell my you can't see the resemblance between the two restaurants.

Take the price out of the equation, perhaps it is a recent development but the meat just isn't good at CP. I've tried the pulled pork and the brisket and both have been either way salty or completely flavorless. When you have a total of 6 sandwiches on your menu, many of which include different permutations of the same ingredients (meats), the meat better be executed flawlessly or people are not going to come back. They completely miss the mark on their meats and for that reason, myself and others in this thread will not spend another dime at that place. They are clearly overextending themselves by opening a second location and I predict they will be completely underwater in about a year's time unless they figure out how to use their smoker.
