The Pit Room has the best kicked-up Frito pie I've ever eaten, and it all starts with the chili.

Pinkerton's excellent prime brisket is just tinged with smoke and expressively beefy, making the Frito pie a standout.

This is one of the more memorable mom and pops... it simply cannot capture the feeling of sitting in a building that is barely standing but serving wonderful food.

Comprised of chips, block chopped brisket, pinto beans and BBQ sauce. Even with soggy chips, this dish was good as all get-out.
