Shoulder clod is just chuck roast , basically hamburger meat when ground, over priced here at Kreuz & if folks want bbq sauce they will just get their order to go & put some on it at home, might as well give them some

The sides go good with pork loin bone In ribs from each end of the loin , not with beef , baby back ribs , spare ribs etc, in Kentucky we call those loin ends " ribs " , but they are not really ribs. If the bone is in they are called western ribs , bone out are called country ribs & both are good with the German beans , taters , kraut

Kreuk, beef shoulder clod is chuck , basically hamburger meat that is not ground up , doesn't even compare to brisket

Lockhart best #1Blacks , #2 Smittys , #3 Chislom trail , #4 Kreuz( before new owners , have not been there yet)

Kreuz has new owners now, never eaten there yet, but when Rick & Don owned the place they cooked so fast it wasn't a gentle smoke, it was no smoke & tasted like it was baked, new owners BBQ has to be better cause it cannot be worse. Poor selection of sides, I know they are German heritage & so is my wife , but kraft, German tater salad & beans are not BBQ sides

the first fat old guy claiming 'no sauce, not while i'm alive' and 'people come here in their 80's and 90's telling me they came here with their families, it means a lot to them and it means a lot to me'. The owner of Smitty's. That's great. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and what a relaxing video that makes you hungry. One more thing--i wouldn't work for nor eat there if my only other option was a vending machine in a democratic part of town at 2 a.m. What unearned confidence for a Texas bumpkin. You inherited the place and don't change anything because you don't understand the only true constant IS change. If pork is a no-no and reduced to a part-time player in your sausage then what the fuck is turkey doing on your menu? You kidding me? 5% or less natural fat on a dinosaur related bird but a fat, flavor laden 300 pound porker is sacriegilous to ya? Please. What a dumbshit. I had to comment. K.C does it better, the Carolinas, the Indo's in Jakarta, the Spanish, Portuguese, so on and so on. Cows are native to the Turkish region in Eurasia not Texas. To boast about being stubborn is to prove to most that you don't know what you speak about and can't be trusted to tell the truth.

This Smitty's & Kreuz split was a Hatfield & McCoys situation, feudin' , Ms. Nina & grandson John won the fued. Rick & Don did their sister wrong & should have never split. That is why the family doesn't own the new Kreuz , the Cruz family does

Ms. Nina put a whipping on her brother's cooking , lol

To the Black's family, northerners will bug the tar out of you or get on your nerves over about anything, info from a 60 yr old southern Kentucky man, born & raised, I have traveled to some northern states & most were extremely rude folks , no manners , morals , etc...

btw fellers at Black's , I would have went to McD's & got 2 McRib sandwiches instead of Kreuz, I don't know how the new owners are doing things( Cruz family)

Message to the 2 fellers at Black's , to bad you didn't ask me about going to Kreuz then back to Black's , I could have told you not to waste your money at Kreuz's, unless you like meat with almost no smoke flavor & almost taste like the meat is baked, pitiful sides, taste & variety

Kreuz, 4.5 hrs. on a 15 lb. shoulder clod? Tough meat, no heavy smoke flavor, no me there, I want smoky & not a light gentle smoke, I actually prefer75 % hickory & 25% post oak

Needing sauce on bbq beef ?, something is wrong, being a 60 yr old Irishman & family from rural S/E Kentucky, if we drive to Lexington, Ky. to a somewhat upscale steakhouse & I order a $ 50.00 -$ 75.00, 16-20 ounce choice/prime ribeye & they ask me if I want steak sauce like A-1 or so, I tell them if it needs steak sauce at that price after I taste it, I will send it back to the kitchen & tell them I ain't paying for that, I'll order a salad or something else

Been to all three and all three would be best in most cities. There is not a clear winner but i usually go to kreuz due to parking lot size.

Edgar Black said folks from up north were buggin' the tar out of him for a sauce, I'm from the the south & I would have told them to go back up north & they could get bbq smoked meats with sauce, it does not need sauce

The new Kreuz did not know that if folks want smoked bbq then put some smoke to it, not a gentle light smoke, might as well bake it in the oven,that must be why they sold out to non family, & I think if a 1000 customers wanted a fried baloney sandwich & the old timer wanted a fried ham then that is the only thing he would serve, just rubs me the wrong way & no disrespect as he is elder, I just wouldn't go there, I understand no sauce as good meat does not need

BLACK'S BEEF RIBS....!

Hey Texans.... Generally speaking, What is sausage made from.... Yes, PORK...!

Takes dedication to be a pit master. Thank you for a great bbq

That’s Shoulder Clod they’re slicing. Clod predates the Brisket craze & when done right (as they do here) it’s quite fine eating

I believe there may be a family fued between Kreuz market and Smittys, they are kin, but there is definitely some tension there, plus i am from the south, and i do not think good meat needs sauce, but it seems that people are asking for a bbq sauce at all of these places which makes me wonder why. I know northerners sauce everything, but they don't count, they'd put ketchup on pecan pie.

I'm just making an educated guess here by the way i see these bbq joints smoke their meats, and i would guess i'd be drawn to Black's bbq first, by the way they smoke their meats, and with the available side items, but i'd really need to do a taste test on em' all to see which one i preferred the most.

Potatoes are awesome, but everything's a little overpriced at Kreuz.

Thats yankees for ya, sauce everything, especially with ketchup, i live in rural kentucky, good meat does not need sauce, if i pay good money for a steak, and it needs steak sauce, i will send it back, and i will not be back,period.

Let me get this straight now, smittys is in kreuz building, kreuz is in smittys building, is this a family fued or what, if i get a chance to go to lockhart, i think i will just go to blacks, plus i like side items with my bbq, and their meat looks good.

I do like the strong tasts of smoke, not gentle, i prefer hickory
