Some plates just cover all the bases. 🔥🥔

Start with a hot, fluffy baked potato loaded with tender pulled pork and all the fixings, then add sliced brisket on the side for the perfect smoky finish.

It’s hearty, satisfying, and made for the days when choosing just one kind of barbecue simply isn’t an option. The pulled pork brings that rich, slow-smoked flavor to every bite of the potato, while the sliced brisket gives you something extra to savor on the side.

Come hungry. This one means business.
