inDrove all the way to Austin for a famous pitmaster's joint and their brisket was dry as cardboard, fight me
The brisket at that famous spot on South Lamar usually has a good bark and juicy interior. Dryness can happen if they sliced it too early and let it sit. My buddy who lives there says the trick is to ask for moist cuts from the point end. They might have had an off day but it's worth another shot at peak hours. I've found that even top joints can slip up when they're rushed.
