not true, don't ever mess with someone else's creation when it's in progress

If that were the case, she’d buy her own damn brisket and cook it herself, not butcher something that someone else was working on.

Yeah because the rest of us are normal and would actually be upset about the blatant disrespect shown for our hard work so she could commandeer something we created so she could have it her own way.

Why wouldn’t you be mad? She did something rude and inconsiderate.

I doubt you'd still think it was "just a brisket" after spending 8 hours working on it!

No... Behavior like that means one of two things. She's a control freak, or just a spoiled brat that wants things the way she wants them, and screw everybody else.

I could not have dated someone like that. Grilled or broiled only. rare to medium rare. anything else is unacceptable for steaks.

Just reading that made me cringe 😵

My mom grew up with that is how you did a steak. They were dirt poor, and bought the crappiest cuts of red meat, and that was the only way to make them where you could actually chew them. When she first met my dad, she refused to eat steak, because she thought it was gross. Then he fed her a grilled New York, and that was all it took for her to appreciate steak

Well considering brisket is typically cooked in a smoker outside, I think OP was fine to go for a quick run.

Depending on the size of the brisket it barely hit the halfway mark

I imagined her chopping it up and covering it in ketchup or hot sauce, but I really don't know. I hope OP posts a follow-up!
