Signature Dishes
Brisket
Sliced and tender, with light black-pepper and smoky-roasted flavors; pair it with the four sauces on the table.
Sauced brisket
Fatty, sweet and rich, with juices blended into the sauce and a soft bite; its flavor stands out with a burger bun.
Pork ribs
Most sections are tender with a sweet glaze on the outside; some parts or the bark may be dry, so the texture can vary.
Cabbage salad
Shredded cabbage tossed with salad dressing is refreshing and can cut the richness; the side dishes may also be strongly seasoned and not always cut the richness.
