    The brisket queso is a bit of work, but truly delicious. I need to make more recipes from this book.

    Austin diner style queso is dead on, especially when you add black beans to the bottom. Yum!

      the chili recipe is texturally spot-on but lacking flavor. I added ketchup and hot sauce to increase the acidity and that helped a lot. lime juice would work well.
