Just got back from my trip to MD to meet up with Dean, and pick up the Tris from him. We met at a Bar resturant called The Susquehanna right near the Rt 222 and Rt 1 intersection. Dean and I had a nice conversation about Tri Tips, BBQ, Pizza dough, gas prices and of course the Pernil Pork. Well the whole time we are standing in the parking lot the smell from the pit beef is just driving me nuts. Dean said he had to go, and I did try to talk him into getting a pit beef sammie with me but he had to run. Well no way I can leave after smelling this for over a 1/2 hr. I walk into the bar right past the pit that's setup in a screened in porch type deal. Tell the bar tender I would like a pit beef sammie to go and she says $5.85 I pay and stand in a small line just dying to eat this. So I look over on the massive grill and see the beef, ham, and turkey sitting in a warming pan all cooked and charred to perfection. Guy cuts a chunk of beef off and shows it to me and asks if this will do? Yep nice med, med well and starts slicing it paper thin. I get my roll out of the bag put mayo on both sides, thin sliced onions, horeradish, and S&P on the top bun. He piles it high 6-8 ozs of pit beef, and I had noticed there was alot of trimmings laying in the pan along with the meat. So I put a $1.00 in the tip jar and say to the young man those fat pieces sure look good. He smiles and hands me the tongs and says help yourself
I took 3 pieces but in the pic you see there's only one left by the time the pic was taken.
After I was done, I walked back in and shook his hand and told him that it was outstanding. He said thanks and I said on my way out that those fat pieces were like candy. He let out a big laugh and said take it easy. On my way out I noticed the storage door was open and guess what charcoal they use there for the pit beef?
Dean, It was a pleasure meeting you and Thank you again for getting the Tri Tips. Not to rub it in but here's a pic of the pit beef sammie.

Dude, you are one cold-hearted ba*$@rd to post that story and picture
Instead of enjoying some more conversation, and a sammie, and some trimmings, I got to go home and edge the driveway ! Geez....where did I go wrong in life ? How did my priorities get so screwed up ?
Anyway....it was a blast meeting you and talking Q, pizza, and life in general. I'll work on my pizza dough, and I promise to buy a screen !
Thanks, too, for the SusieQ rub from your "stash"....man, that stuff is salty !! Looks like I'll be doing my small Treuth tri-tip (1.4 lb) tomorrow....after this discussion, my wife, who is going out of town Monday, said I had to cook it before she goes. I tried to talk her in to letting me make the bigger TJ's tri (in case I screw up !), but she said "No way !"
She also says we need to go to Wargo's (our local place that does pit beef on Friday and Saturday) for dinner tonight... I look forward to seeing what your opinion is of the Treuth tri's when you get a chance to cook one. Ken's recommendation sure is a high one !
By the way, on the way back down Rt. 1, the "new" Harley place also had a huge trailer-mounted smoker out, with billowing smoke and a crowd of bikes ! Maybe if these Treuth tri's become a regular thing for us, we can meet there next time
I'll clear my schedule !
I look forward to reading about your pork smoke today in your other thread !
Dean...
