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.
