Alligator,
I'm a new Texan, but haven't figured out why everyone grills brisket, but not tri-tip.
I havent found any bar b q brisket that was tender, juicy and tastey. It seems that the secret to briskit is to cover it up in sauce so you don't taste the meat.
Tri-tip usually has a rub or seasoning on it and it grills to a tender, juicy piece of meat that is full of flavor!!
And speaking of meat, how come you can never find any carnitas at a mexican resturant? I have nothing over tex-mex, but my favorite meat is carnitas, and the closest I've found is some dried out pork. Not the same thing at all!!
Good luck with your site,
Eddie
