Alfredo G.

Had True Bark BBQ make a brisket and 2 fried turkeys for a party and they were amazing. Emilio precooked the brisket on his grill and fried the turkeys at my place a couple hours before everyone showed up. The brisket was full of flavor and tastes exactly the same when I used the leftovers to make sandwiches. I had never had fried turkey before this weekend. It was delicious. Probably ruined oven cooked turkey to be honest. 10/10 would recommend.
