Coopers BBQ... In Ft. Worth???

Postby nascarchuck » Fri Jun 26, 2009 12:21 pm

Cooper’s Barbecue is building the behemoth of barbecue joints in Fort Worth. It’s beyond gigantic–this meat market will be 23,000 square feet! And it’s not like Fort Worth lacks for places to eat brisket and ribs, either, what with Angelo’s and the Railhead, to mention just a few. My friend Bud Kennedy, columnist and gadabout for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, says he thinks it’s the biggest bbq joint in the world. He sent me this picture. Here’s my question: Does any self-respecting Texan want to eat barbecue in a brand-new, squeaky-clean, non-smoke-begrimed building? It just ain’t right.

I read the same article.It is in the Billy Bob's parking lot. I drove by there last week and they had the foundation poured. I hope it doesn't turn to touristy. Looks like it is going to be massive.
How bout some more beans Mr.Taggert? I'd say you've had enough!

I'm sure I'll have to give it a try once it opens.

Might be a future sight for a TBBQF lunch although I doubt that it will compare to the original.

Put me down for a lunch meeting. Coopers is my all time favorite brisket...others say it has gone down in quality but last time I was there it was perfect.

We would need a designated driver... 8) Anybody own a bus? We could just make a weekend of it and go from one joint to another. :lol:
