an experiment is controlled insanity

One of the sandwiches that inspired this blog/journey was a bbq beef brisket sandwich. When done properly this sammich is succulent, smokey, and delicious. I have done the bbq brisket once in the past to rave reviews. This time my approach is going to be different out of necessity and the circumstances of cooking the meal are a little out there, i'm expecting a minor disaster but hoping for a damn good sandwich.

Last time i had a fourteen pound chunk of beef, this time the butcher couldn't deliver on a giant chunk of brisket so i had to settle for 2 smaller flat cut briskets. This meat should cook a little quicker, but the food porn is not as impressive. The real variable that makes this interesting is my current mindset; i came to after an acid trip, hopped out of bed, and lit the grill.



I rubbed the meat the day before with a spicy coffee rub (half fine ground bold coffee, half a combo of chili powder, cumin, onion, garlic, paprika, and cayenne) I'm going to cook them stacked on top of each other to mimic a larger cut of beef and hopefully maintain the juiciness.

I planned on posting throughout the day with updates and eventually some sandwich shots. The main concern is staying awake and not getting distracted and forgetting about the meat. I figure a good combo of weed and coffee should basically keep me in the zone long enough to eat a damn good sandwich
