McClure's went downhill IMO once he opened his own place

I agree the pop-up at Dante's was excellent. I remember thinking he was the best of them all back then.

You would expect this. As a pop-up he probably had more demand, less supply. People were getting fresh meat when it was ready. Now that he has his own place, the meat is probably cooked earlier and held longer.

Quality BBQ is really difficult if you have to cook for a certain time and have fluctuating demand.
