I didn’t have a fast pass too so I took the heat and stood on that Salt Lick line and I guess my 3 pieces of brisket weren’t that terrible. Mine were not dry but yes, lacking sauce. It’s true the slaw was meh but pair it up with the sausage and that’s when the flavor comes out.
What a sweltering hot event but I had some good eats =)

I didn’t have a fastpass so I was extra miserable, but I attended also and felt much the same as you. I also visited Salt Lick which seemed to have a buzz, and was disappointed.

However, I must say that Baker’s ribs were fantastic, and their cole slaw was good, too. St. Louis cut pork ribs are my favorite BBQ cut, and they were smoked perfectly with my kind of sauce – thin, sweet, and spicy. The cole slaw was garlicky and peppery and delicious.

See the notes at Porkchop Express which I pretty much agree with.

omg .. I was so looking forward to this since last year when my friends went. They supposedly ate so much and had a blast! I’m supposing it also wasn’t a billion degrees out. The BF and I only got a serving of baby backs and then St. Louis ribs which were good but honestly I could make better in a *gasp* oven! We also got a couple fast passes with a bunch of friends but honestly it was way too hot to eat that day.. I was melting and the thought of eating more HOT food just made me lose my appetite. I left after an hour to go home to AC.
