The real ones know that when you're in a time crunch but craving 'Q the only real option is a fold-over. White bread, brisket, pickles, onions, and a splash of sauce. This one from @pinkertonsbbq at the 2026 #HOUBBQ Festival did the trick.

Great barbecue, great stories. You'll get both stepping up to the booth where @jordanrosemeyer @thebrisketginger and the whole @rosemeyerbarbq team dish out the best that the #HOUBBQ Festival has to offer. And go see them at their trailer in Spring - a true taste of the Texas barbecue experience.
