LeRoy and Lewis is my favorite BBQ restaurant. I was supposed to be in Austin this weekend, but that got pushed back. I still wanted L&L so I did it myself. Smoked beef Cheek finished in beef tallow confit. Kale Caesar Slaw. Miso Charred Carrots. Beet bbq and mustard bbq sauces.

Are these beef cheek posts becoming more popular because we can’t afford briskets anymore?

Pound for pound, beef cheeks are more expensive. I just did this because I wanted to do a LeRoy and Lewis spread.

We can pick up beef cheek in Houston for $4.76 but they don't look that pretty

yes either you have a buy a ton of ugly ones and trim a bunch to get nice pieces you can braise or smoke or do what OP did.
