We have 3 or 4 Dickey's around here. It's a large chain as BBQ restaurants go and I would say above average.

I like BBQ a lot, but am no worshipper. I know what bad BBQ is, but I tend to think the BBQ worship in this country is pretty overdone. It has ruined the reasonable prices I used to find on the "cheaper cuts".

The OP here is not the first good BBQ cook to suggest buying Prime meat to make a great brisket and it is certainly good advice. That said, if I have to pay for Prime beef to make a great brisket and still work hard at it, I will always choose to pull a vac packed, bought on sale $5.99/lb USDA Choice Ribeye from the freezer.
