RUN! Don't walk!!

I saw on little info node on Instagram today and panic set in. No more Heirloom Brisket Chili until the fall?!?!

It was go time, a serious brisket chili emergency. If you have never lived in Texas, you might think it is OK to have beans in your chili, but you are wrong, oh so very wrong and Heirloom has some of the best REAL chili east of the Mississippi and heck maybe west of it too.

A wave of panic rolled over my body. Not serving starting in April, APRIL IS TOMORROW, no foolin! - (Let me know if you got that....)

I looked at my watch and I had 45 minutes to close. I had to act fast. Well, not that fast, all you have to do is order on your phone and I am pretty close. During COVID, Heirloom instituted a phenomenal to go ordering system. You used to not be able to get in the parking lot, now you order off the app and you are in and out. My only complaint is that you can't enjoy the fantastic Q sitting down at the store with an ice cold Lone Star.

You know how James Bond always has this elaborate cover story, then he walks into the casino and the bad guy asks him his name and instead of giving the made up identity, he simply says Bond, James Bond. Well that is how I roll in the high stakes world of BBQ blogging. Some might give a fake name, but not me. When I moseyed up to the head of the take out line at Heirloom, I looked over the table and said "I got a pick up for Tasty". After briefly popping in the store, the takeout manager returned with a knowing grin on his face.... "Here ya go Tasty Wilbur." Two BBQ aficionados just shared a moment of appreciation for their common devotion to all things Q.

VICTORY and very, very delicious. We'll see you again wonderful Mr. Chili once Georgia starts defending their National Title. Until we meet again.....
