    First Brisket Qview

    Thank you :) I have friend that lives in round rock tx that I try to visit once a year and drink as much big red as i can. I went as far as to go to Big Red's website and there isn't anyone that sells it within 400 miles. A BBQ resturant near by is the only place that does and they import it.
