The Chilli is not really chilli more like beef in a bbq/chilli type sauce. I thought it was good but chilli it is not.

Not a big fan of their brisket or pulled pork, but when you’re the only game around, people (especially in NYC) think the style and trappings make the food.

The chili (as a hater of normal bean-ey chili) is astonishingly good, and not a dish you find a lot of around.

I was going to ask if you were a teacher and prone to sharing outtakes from an introductory essay assignment in a HS freshman english composition class but then I clicked on the link, saw the second entry and all was revealed.

Here is a bit of the review that I wrote on my little site . . . maybe it will entice you to read some more?!

“The only thing that was a bit rough was the $4.00 sweet tea – but again – since it was brewed in tea heaven in pitchers held by ancient gods that used cherub tears to get it to that perfect sweetness and sprigs of mint delicately harvested from the untouched (by dirty human hands) mint fields of legend to infuse the taste with an extra special level of depth . . . I really can’t complain – I mean criminy – how much is gas these days?!”

I’m glad a Texas transplant can demonstrate that Virgil’s can transcend the “barbecue elitism” that some people have adopted. Sure, Virgil’s isn’t “Real Barbecue” in the same way that Chinese restaurants in NYC don’t serve “Real Chinese”. In both cases, it’s good enough (perhaps even better). Frankly, I like Virgil’s brisket better than RUB, as whenever I’ve had brisket there, it’s been far too dry (and I don’t like saucing barbecue). Then again, Katz’s pastrami has ruined me for brisket in general as they’ve set a standard for brisket succulence that’s unachievable by anyone else. Lastly, I’ve yet to have any wings that can top Virgil’s (though comparing traditional wings with Virgil’s is comparing apples to oranges).

Seafood: You are obviously the freaking originator, sponsor & poster child for the Tard Card. Your shrill postings warrant nothing, except a tall cool glass of SHUT THE FUCK UP. You have no idea what you’re talking about, and since folks like you don’t listen to reason, just take your hands off the keyboard and pray to your deity for deliverance from ignorance.
