Let's clear up a few things, y'all! 🇺🇸
Mike Ross, owner of The Salt Slab BBQ, is taking you behind the cutting board to answer some of the questions we get asked!
Those aren't fridges! They're food warmers, keeping our slow-smoked meats at the perfect temperature until they're ready to be sliced and served.
It's not oil, it's BEEF TALLOW! That beautiful golden goodness we pour over our brisket helps bring moisture and that gorgeous glisten back to the bark. And trust us, it's delicious!
Our cornbread is different! We're serving authentic American-style cornbread, which is a little sweeter than the traditional South African mielie bread.
And what about the sauces? From our homemade chimichurri and peach glaze to Alabama white sauce and our BBQ sauce, every sauce has its place!
But here's one thing Mike won't compromise on…
GOOD BRISKET AND BEEF RIBS DON'T NEED BBQ SAUCE! 🤠
We're all about authentic Central Texas barbecue, and there's a whole lot of love, time and technique that goes into every single cut of meat.
So next time you're standing at our cutting station, you'll know exactly what's going on behind that chopping board!
