I never said that there is anything lowly about burnt ends. What I'm saying is that it's harder to cook a moist and tender flat than what it is to cook burnt ends. There much more intramuscular fat content within the point. Burnt ends are about as hard to prefect as pulled pork. Too much credit is being given to something so simple.

Alon Shaya is a likeable, friendly, polite philanthropist who doesn't douche it up on social media. Prob the main difference there

His samplers also jumped $3 and $5 since opening, yes? $12 to $15, $18 to $23 for the 3 and 5 sampler offerings

It isn't about simple, it is about volume.

First this thread was bitching about how burnt ends didn't last, he solves that problem now people are bitching about how much they cost.

I'm glad Rob is really killing the game with the 1 item of BBQ that you legit cannot screw up.

His brisket is the best in town. LA23 might give him a run for his money on a good day but it will have to be a weekday.

Remember when he talked the big game about moving in and being part of the neighborhood; then didn't participate in the block party for all the businesses on that small stretch of Magazine.


The sampler at Shaya was 3 for $9. Don't forget having to beg for pitas now.

I think it's smart, demand is high so you raise the per serving price. I can't fault him for that. We love Blue Oak but damn those are expensive wings.
BBQ is a food derived from Po folks cooking, but it sure ain't po folks food.

They said burnt ends by the pound were never off the menu. Just the plate was removed.

bullshite. I've asked that very question since none of his sides are low carb friendly, and I was forced to order a platter.

I'm ok with him offering burnt ends for a high price by the pound. That's a fair offering.

Making someone order the $50 sampler to get them was crap.


I really need to make the drive out to LA23 one day.

I liked the LA23 burnt ends better.


But they don't sell them. Or at least aren't on the menu. Brisket is really good and the sausage is phenomenal.

Wish the boys would move uptown.

Their brisket is awesome but their sausage is unbelievable. If they had the cheddar jalpeno you missed out.

Nevermind I's seen it in there now

Also I know you are new this but this thread is for the greatness that is CCBBQ.

The name is great. Do you work behind the bar or in the kitchen? I'll say hi when I visit there again.
