This is the real thing, slow cooked in mesquite, no silly sauces. Briskets and porks are both excellent, and I have ordered large amounts and taken them away on the airplane with me for dining over the next few weeks at home.
Kreutz is not open on a Sunday.

I thought it was actually cooked over oak wood not mesquite. But whichever, I agree that it is the real deal. This is a long thread, the Lockhart group is mentioned numerous times.
