Ate at Hashknife BBQ in Peadenville while out for a drive today. Great BBQ spot when you travel through the Mineral Wells or Perrin area (because who doesn't go through Perrin). This place was mentioned in Texas Monthly recently and it certainly has very solid que. The pork ribs were baby backs and were incredibly moist considering they were just slightly undercooked. There was a nice sweet note on top of the smokey bark. The turkey was the low point which really disappointed me - I love a good smoked turkey. I think they cook it in a gas cooker and the propane taste imparted an aftertaste. It was otherwise very juicy and well seasoned. The beans are ranch style and would be otherwise forgettable except for a sprinkle of pinto bean seasoning on top. The potato salad was good but not memorable. Finally, The brisket - the star of the meal. Juicy, perfectly cooked, pulled apart easily with a nice smoke ring and bark. It was cut a little more than 1/4" thick, usually a trick to make dry meat seem more moist, but that was far from the necessary. I may have had brisket juice dripping off my chin. No worries - the friendly staff made sure my Shiners were full. Solid B+.
