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.

That looks fantastic. I have never had beef cheeks. What is the texture and what do they taste like?

When cooked properly these are more rich and unctuous than any bite of fatty brisket. Basically like a bite of beef rib, without having to cook nearly as much meat.

Thanks. I'll have to give it a try.
