Capital Q
The Scoop: We're pretty sure the saying "Don't mess with Texas" began when someone tried to alter their barbecue habits. Indeed, one whiff of the good stuff at Capital Q and you'll realize BBQ dinners are sacred (and sexy?). Yup, pit-smoked meat ain't nothin' to funk with and meat rules everything around me -- MREAM! -- get the brisket, smokin', smokin' meats ya'll. And while we could go on for 3,000 more words making up hilarious rap parodies (it's the Scoutmob way), let's hold off. We've got more edible things to discuss, like the fact that Capital Q smokes its signature beef brisket for 12 hours to ensure prime flavor and tenderness. MREAM! We told you!
Scout Finds: Dinners at Capital Q are an experience, starting with walking through the door. The wall to the left is covered in dollar bills and other currencies, signed by guests from around the world, including several Texans, all giving their literal cosigns of approval. You'll also see a herd of headshots of various Texan (and now some non-Texan) Congresspeople, who consider Capital Q their home away from home. Texan Rep. Nick Lampson is a huge fan of the BBQ sandwiches and the veggie sides. So is Rep. Kay Granger, another Texan in DC who feels like she's back in the Lone Star State whenever she steps inside.
And the food. HOLY COW! Seriously, the brisket might make you forget anything you might have learned about barbecue pork from some other state... Although, if you're into swine, Capital Q does that, too, and they do it well. Slow-cooked and smothered in Texan sauce, the pulled pork platter served with a couple of the drool-inducing sides, like baked beans and potato salad, will satisfy you...for now. Obviously, you'll be hankering for another fix of this down-home country cookin' again and again, so grab your boots and get scootin'. Beef. It seriously is what's for dinner. And don't forget to enjoy it with an ice cold brew, just like you would after a long day on the ranch.
