Brisket, Zurich: Barbecue worthy of its Southern claims

Ground Level Main Dining Room, Centerpiece is a massive banquet table of rough hewn wood hanging from ceiling 
Upper bar and rear dining room, with access to patio
Brisket, Spicy Sausage, Pork belly
 A new favorite in Zurich, Brisket is a full service southern Barbecue that is very worthy of any Southern city. The founders apparently did research traveling to Austin to sample a wide array of BBQ and get the finer points of the art of smoked meats. I have to say they nailed it.
Service with a smile
 We arrived and ordered quite smartly the Grand Slam. A combo platter that allowed the four of us to sample nearly the full array of the meat offered at Brisket. Their signature Brisket is a robust  Coffee and Black Pepper rubbed brisket slow smoked, and served in massive slices that crumbled to the fork.  Pulled Pork was luscious, Pork Belly decadent, Sausages spicy and succulent, and pulled chicken which is not usually my thing, was well prepared and managed to not be dried out with no taste but instead delivered it Salsa Verde infused goodness.
Ribs, Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken
Beans, Mac'n'Cheese, Sweet Potato Gratin, Coleslaw
 Their sides as well delivered. BBQ beans had big chunks of brisket livening up the white beans. But as I told the waitress, if their Mac'n'cheese game was off, that I would not be able to give the place my full blessing. Brisket and Mac'n'cheese is a key attribute to whether of not the pit masters and chefs are really trying. And Brisket did not dissappoint.

Moonrise Kingdom, a cozy craft beer bar in Tokyo-Shinjuku

Craft Brewing is not what normally comes to mind when people ask about Japan. They'll ask if you like raw fish (there is more to Japanese cuisine than Sashimi or Sushi), or they'll comment about Sake (there is more than just rice wine in Japan); but if you look, you will definitely find some. Our recent trip to Tokyo, this April just after the Sakura had been swept away by rain :-( we were able to find a perfectly suitable refuge for the Craft Beer Lover.  Moonrise Kingdom(via their Instagram) StringGrrl with one of the NEIPA/Hazy IPA on tap from Japanese Craft Breweries As a treat, the owners shared an American Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing out of Colorado Local ExPat who gave up their stool to make room for StringGrrl and Kam Carryout beer from Kyoto Brewing Company, Vertere

everything you wanted to know about my accident but I wasn't ready to share  (u pdated 28th February. Done, gone home, Scroll to see more ) Here's the lowdown since curiosity abounds: 1) NO, I didn't have a skiing accident. I resent the implication. I owned that fucking Hill . (Family Friendly video) 2) It was a sled 🛷 . It's not an extreme sport. It's called a Rodelbahn (toboggan road) and is considered fun for the whole family. Sebastian supplied the sleds/toboggans, and after a full morning on the mountain skiing. We planned to use the few remaining hours of lift access to run the Rodelbahn. Totally reasonable. 3) The run isn't like a luge or bobsled but a trail down reasonable slopes (switchbacks adjacent to a green dot, blue square ski run) but maybe a bit narrower. Rodelbahn at Nauders 4) I think I over-steered at the exact wrong time and was catapulted into the trees, and down a steep slope, bounced off many trees, broke a few d...
