Oh, and we were the third couple of NDSU fans at the wild pitch today, and there are Bison fans at our hotel. Have seen no red or ewu yet.

How was Hard Eight? I smoke a lot of meat and I’m pretty particular with BBQ. I want to taste juicy delicious smoked animal flesh, not sauce and not a bunch of seasonings for a rub, unless it can compliment and enhance flavor, not mask it.
Brisket at hard eight was good, chicken popper things also good, potato salad was also reported good. Other sides we tried nothing of note. Spicy sauce to too vinegary, standard sauce was good.

For reference we do always like the Rudy’s brisket.
