There were a lot of overly fatty pieces in the brisket. The good pieces had a great flavor, but we had to throw away more pieces than we would have expected.

This food truck was the best brisket my guests and I have ever had! And the other items were equally delicious. The guys preparing and serving couldn’t have been nicer. I’ve had guests come up to me after the event commenting on the food and service! I would HIGHLY recommend them.
