Its a new item ovar thar, pretty tasty, but not cheap at $4.99 + tax. Has a little bit of spice kick to it, VERY tender, I get it without the coleslaw.

I tried it the other day, it was tasty, but not worth $4.99 to me (at least not compared to Costco's other cheap food items). I think $3.99 would be a better price point. Or at the very least, give a drink along with it free

I agree. Its pretty tasty but its not very big. The price should at least include a drink.

The hotdog combo is the best deal around. The combo slice is my alternative.

Aren't all Costco food court items sold at cost as a courtesy? At least, that's what I have read.

I agree 100% on the price being a little high, they seem to sell well though.

The Costco here doesn't open until next summer. Do people regularly eat food there while they shop? At BJ's hardly anyone uses the food court.

Food court is always busy. I used to go in college just for the hot dog. Actually I still sometimes go just for the hot dog.

its the same with Sams club. whenever we go in the food court is full. $1.50 for a large hotdog and drink is great. a huge lice of pizza is cheap too.

lol calling shens on Costco's photo. How big is the sammich?

Its actually a decent size in height, I wouldn't say they skimp on the meat at all. The bun might be about 6 inches across, but that's just a guess.

VERY VERY common to serve slaw on a BBQ sandwich in some areas of the country. I see it more in the east, especially the Carolinas and even Memphis where BBQ is mostly pork, less so in the west where it's primarily beef.

I've grown to like the slaw as balance to the sauce/rub on the meat. If the BBQ is spicy and acidic like Carolina style then use a nice creamy slaw. If the BBQ is sweeter like Memphis or Texas style then use an acidic slaw. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

Yep. It is fucking delicious.

pork, yes. beef? nah. hell nah man. i do believe you'd get your ass kicked for something like that.

texas style is not sweet. no sugar in the rub (if you're using anything other than salt and pepper you're probably doing too much), and if you use sauce you probably have shitty 'que.

Texas style is very sweet compared to Carolina or Louisiana style. There's almost always brown sugar in the rub and molasses in the sauce. To me it's way too cloying. Even without the sugar vs spice vs acid debate, EVERY great sandwich is a balance of flavors. A Reuben is topped with cheese, kraut and dressing, take that away and it's boring. A banh mi has to have that great pickled slaw acid, otherwise it's just meat on bread. A Monte Cristo cheese, caramelized egg batter and a dipping sauce. A Cuban sandwich has acid from the pickles, spice from the mustard to balance the mellow pork roast. An Italian beef will have spicy giardiniera and sweet peppers. Hell, even a burger will have some combination of lettuce, tomato, onions, bacon, ketchup or some other sauce because ground beef is dull on its own. A BBQ sandwich is a one-note symphony of dullness, it NEEDS a topping to make it better. Whether it's beef or pork underneath, sweet or spicy sauce, the sandwich needs to have something to provide a better medley of flavors and a little crunch to improve the texture. That's true of Carolina BBQ, Memphis BBQ, Kansas City BBQ and even Texas BBQ. The only reason you see it rarely in Texas is that most Texans are idiots who refuse to accept that people outside of Texas can come up with good ideas.

in your first two sentences you clearly demonstrate that you have not a clue what you are talking about. texas beef barbeque is not sweet. sugar and beef is not a good combination. anyone who is selling you something beef and sweet and calling it texas style bbq is lying to you. probably some KC crap. they probably put A1 (or worse, ketchup) on a steak. if you want a different flavor on your beef brisket sandwich you should use pickles, onions, and jalapenos.
