Texans in NH

It’s amazing how many fellow Texans that come into the restaurant.  So far today we have had three, one from Dripping Springs and another couple from Austin.  I love to compare stories and find out where and why everyone ended up in NH.  So many (like myself) moved up here because their husbands job and love everything but, the shopping and lack of Good Mexican Food! 

It’s even  more amazing to hear the wonderful complements they have.  We feel we are doing our job right when we are compared to some of the best BBQ joints in Texas.  I think one of the best compliments we have ever recieved was from a Texan who has been in NH 21 years, ” I was just in Dallas last weekend and hit the usual bbq places.  My husband told me that he thought your brisket was better than anything in Dallas! Keep up the good food-  My worlds collide when I come over to your restaurant and smell the food - smells like Texas but here it is in the woods of NH!

I know for me, when I walk in everyday, it feels a little like home and when I get the chance to chat with fellow Texans I feel right at home!

We introduced our Brisket Chili about 3 years ago, and I was convinced it wasn’t going to take off because it wasn’t the Texas Chili I grew up eating, to my surprise our chili not only took off but, our customers claim it’s the best chili they have ever had! 

A gentleman came in on Tuesday and ordered his usual Big Rib Plate.  He swore the next time he came in he would be a little more adventurous and try something new and different.  Well, Thursday rolls around and he’s back.  This time he orders the two meat combo with a side of our Brisket Chili.  When I went to check on him, he just had to let me know that the chili was the best chili he had ever had!  Of course, I had to tell him my story and his reply…..Texas Chili or Not it’s gooood!

Eunice Cole, better known as “Goody Cole” was the only woman convicted of witchcraft in New Hampshire.

Goody Cole was formally accused of witchcraft three times in her lifetime, the first time in Boston in 1656 when several townspeople testified against her. She was whipped and imprisoned until in 1660, but was released until 1662 when she was returned to prison until sometime between 1668 and 1671. She was accused again in 1673, but acquitted, and once again in 1690, and although she was not indicted, she was still kept in prison.

Upon her death in 1680 she was hastily buried in an unmarked grave in Hampton; its whereabouts is still not known with any certainty to this day, although it is believed to be near the site of today’s Tuck Museum. Local legends suggest that a stake was driven into her body after her death “in order to exorcise the baleful influence she was supposed to have possessed,” and a horseshoe hung on the stake, just to be on the safe side. In truth Goody Cole was almost certainly unpleasant in the extreme - Hampton historian Joseph Dow referred to her as “ill-natured and ugly, artful and aggravating, malicious and revengeful” - but certainly not a witch.

Born and raised in Texas we only had one type of BBQ Sauce, SWEET.  My dad actually made his own sauce and I never even thought of having anything else.  Then I moved to NC and was introduced to Vinegar sauce.  Like it but, don’t love it.  I like to taste my pork not just vinegar.

At Goody Cole’s we offer Hot, Mild, Medium, Sweet, and Vinegar (as a condiment not an ingredient)  I’ve noticed some customers like to mix them together to form their own sauce and some customers prefer to eat it dry (the meat is just so flavorful, you really don’t need the sauce at all!).

We would love to hear from you.  How do you like your sauce?

We love hearing from any and all Southerners, if you’re a transplant we would love to hear how you how you ended up in NH!

The majority of people so far, blame it on their husbands (myself included)  We would love to hear how you ended up in Sunny NH!

In the world of barbecue the smoke ring is one of the most sought after properties of smoked meats. It is believed to show that you have done a good job and properly low and slow smoked the meat in question. Is particularly prized in smoked brisket. So what is it?

A smoke ring is a pink discoloration of meat just under the surface crust (called bark). It can be just a thin line of pink or a rather thick layer. The smoke rings is caused by nitric acid building up in the surface of meat, absorbed from the surface. This nitric acid is formed when nitrogen dioxide from wood combustion in smoke mixes with water in the meat. Basically it is a chemical reaction between the smoke and the meat.     -about.com
