The French Kitchen

Who wears white to go eat BBQ??? Yeah... I thought of it too late, so I had to bring a TFK apron! Our TFK crew headed to The Chuckwagon 719 today for lunch and what a treat! It was the first time for all of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I love that it is a family business like us. We saw the entire family work today and had the pleasure of meeting the super nice owners Jared and Deidre.
As we were waiting in line, we were wondering about their organization. Do they start the smokers the night before and have someone watch the smokers all night in a lounge chair? Do they leave the smokers alone and hope no one will come help themselves? We had to ask! Well, they're just like us! We have our night bakers who come at 3am... they have their night smokers who come at 3am!
Now let's talk food! We had a mixed French and American team there, so as French people, we are not necessarily used to some items on the menu. It didn't matter. Flavors were spot on, and the meat definitely delivered a perfect tenderness, smokiness and beautiful flavor.
We tried a few things: The Texas Trinity, The Texas Tw***ie, the Brisket Elote (I loved that one), all of their sides and their two cobblers.
This place is definitely worth the wait and the drive. It's not just about the food, you get a whole experience, the crew is amazing, but be careful, you'll smell like bbq for the rest of the day, so if you're trying to hide where you went... that won't work 😜
