Let me be the first to say my shirt is in, it's very soft, and the spice mix packet smells great but there isn't much of it. I wonder if I need to add salt and pepper?

Got my shirt. Will not wash it, it smells too wonderful!! ;-)
Up here outside of DC, should your travels take you up in this direction.
As far as stretching the packet, what are ballpark amounts of the other items? Don't want to waste this!
Let us know when we can buy this rub online!!

Earlier ITT it was suggested to use 1 part rub, 1 part salt, 1 part pepper, and maybe 1 part some type of sugar.

I wanted to post my experience at Tipsy's sooner but when I got back home, we ran into some massive flooding here and it has taken a while to dig (or maybe bail) out.
Got my t-shirt... in person! It's soft, comfortable, really just perfect. Love it. The bad news for on-line purchases is that although you get some rub with the on-line purchase, in the store you also get some rub... but it's on a rib! That's right, a free rib with the shirt.
First off, you simply have to go to McClure's when you visit New Orleans. The experience is awesome. I went there on a Wednesday at lunch. I don't know what I was expecting, a hole-in-the-wall I guess, but the place is very nice. It seats about forty or so and business was brisk while I was there. I tried everything and I mean everything. Ribs, chicken, links, pulled pork, all the sides, and all the sauces. The only thing I was not crazy about was one sauce. That's it. Everything else was exceptionally good. The chicken was juicy and tender. Charred on the outside and perfect on the inside. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and just a little pink. The link sausage had that perfect little bite and the pulled pork was smoky, tender, and flavorful.
The six sauces were great. The Memphis was sweet and silky. The Kansas City wasn't tomato based, like some are, so it didn't taste like ketchup. The Alabama sauce is a white sauce made with mayo, I think. It complemented the chicken perfectly, smooth and tangy. The East NOLA sauce was surprising, but good. It is like Asian meets the south, with a unique flavor that went well with the pulled pork. The South Carolina sauce was a vinegar and mustard sauce with a hint of honey. I usually don't like the mustard-y bbq sauces but I liked this one. The only sauce I didn't like was the North Carolina. Just didn't click with me.
The sides are great too. The ham and ham and beans was sweet and smoky with a lot of meat in it. The cole slaw was both crisp and spicy. It was also a good complement to the pulled pork. The mac and cheese was smooth and homey. I could eat it all day. The jambalaya was probably my favorite. Deep flavor, meaty and substantial, with just the right amount of southern spice.
We all know Tipsy on-line and a few of the NOLA residents know him in person. That said, he is probably one of the nicest guys I have ever met. The kind of guy you want for your best friend, or for your sister to marry. He is anything but portly and self-important. The way he was running around tending to everything he has probably lost twenty pounds.
Like I said, you gotta go and try this place out. You will not be disappointed. But you will be stuffed. Happily stuffed.

Honestly, it didn't even cross my mind until after I placed the order....stupid, I know. Just a brainfart.wtf...why not get in person bra?Got my t-shirt as well
Got my shirt as well, very nice and the rub smelled great.
Would the rub work on chicken wings as well? I make wings the most on the grill, just because it is the thing all 3 of my boys like and because I am not a grill master yet. Good with chicken, wings, hamburgers and steaks, i.e. the easy stuff, but ribs and anything you would serve is not my forte yet. The boys and my wife like naked wings without sauce, so I usually use McCormick's chicken seasoning.

We have re-introduced potato salad. It is now a Creole Potato Salad that is pretty simple but delicious.
Also putting on my Molasses Stewed Collard Greens....a directly rip off of the greens we had at Dante's Kitchen (widely considered the best in town) but added smoked rib meat and smoked onions, plus a generous splash of hot sauce to them. I swear they are the best greens I've ever eaten. Oh...and a few ladles of bacon grease to cook the bacon and onions in at the start.
The Brisket is improving daily. We recently changed meat suppliers and am now using the same briskets Franklin's uses. They are better without changing anything....The quality of the meat is HUGE.

I've got to get down there. No more excuses.
Bump on the wings question? Pretty good chance I will be making them this weekend, so I would be interested in trying it out. I'll add some salt and pepper, anything else? Not sure about sugar.

Source is everything in Brisket. PecanLodge basically demonstrated that. Source it right and you have a lot of leeway in the cooking process.

At what point do you think you might have too many sides? How do you determine if it Is causing too much prep time and costs?

The brine is my biggest part of making good wings. salt, sugar, soy, oj, sprite, and water. 3 hours minimum. then pat dry. then use my rub, some salt & pepper, and smoke for 1.5 hours then fry them. BEST WINGS EVER.

:wings:Tips, can you share your brine proportions.
I'm an idiot. I had my shirt packed, was hoping to take a picture at Scores AC with it and took it out and forgot to pack it back.
This week, Yankee stadium, Mariano's last game will have at least one guy wearing a McClures shirt.

My wife "I thought I liked brisket"
She orders brisket at every other BBQ joint and hates it and wonders why because she thoughts she liked it.
She had Tipsys today and said "see I though I liked brisket"
It was off the hook!

How long do you fry them after smoking for 1.5 hours? I assume this is just a quick dip in the oil to crisp up the skin?

I would do skin up indirect for a while till the wings are mostly cooked, then finish skin down direct to crisp them up before tossing in sauce.

Fairly high yeah... you don't want to char the skin though. Keep an eye on em and move em around as needed.

I usually get the grill heated on high, but then when cooking put it on medium/low. I pretty much tend them at all times, but we like them a little charred. Not black, but maybe a little crispier with nice grill marks (but still juicy inside). I don't know if this guy was a professional, but I got a tip when I first bought my grill (6 burner built into an L-shaped granite bar, natural gas - love it) to grill wings naked with just seasoning and use a pan on the side to keep them warm (those burners off) and sauce them there. My kids like them naked, so I usually just sauce mine afterwards after I bring the pan in.
As you said, I do tend them a lot and move them around and once "done" they go in the pan to stay hot. Wings are really easy to tell when they are done, so impossible to undercook and almost as hard to overcook unless you ignore them and burn them. Looking forward to trying to brine and rub this weekend.

I thought this was interesting regarding Yelp and our earlier discussion on its usefulness.
Fake reviewers snared in NY Attorney General yogurt sting
(Reuters) - Nineteen companies caught writing fake reviews on websites such as Yelp, Google Local and CitySearch have been snared in a year-long sting operation by the New York Attorney General, and will pay $350,000 in penalties.
The Attorney General's office set up a fake yogurt shop in Brooklyn, New York, and sought help from firms that specialize in boosting online search results to combat negative reviews.
Some search optimization companies offered to post fake reviews of the yogurt shop on sites such as Yelp.com, Google Local and IAC/Interactivecorp's Citysearch.com, the Attorney General's office said in a statement on Monday. (r.reuters.com/kyv33v)
The companies created online profiles and paid as little as $1 per review to freelance writers, some of whom were in the Philippines, Bangladesh and Eastern Europe, the Attorney General's office said.
Other businesses, including family-owned bus company US Coachways Inc, a laser-hair removal firm, and an adult entertainment club were caught when managers, staff or friends wrote bogus reviews.
US Coachways officials were not immediately available for comment.
Yelp welcomed the crackdown, saying it was critical that the company protect the integrity of its content. It said it would continue to work with law enforcement agencies as well as taking steps itself to combat fraud.
While Yelp's shares fell as much as 9 percent, analysts played down any link with Operation Clean Turf, as the Attorney General's Office dubbed the sting.
"In the long term it's great because I mean there should be greater confidence in the consumers that the reviews are not being manipulated," said Mike Hickey from Benchmark Co, a brokerage.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office said the fake reviews breached laws against false advertising and deceptive business practices.
"Consumers rely on reviews from their peers to make daily purchasing decisions on anything from food and clothing to recreation and sightseeing," Schneiderman said.
"This investigation into large-scale, intentional deceit across the Internet tells us that we should approach online reviews with caution."
Companies providing fake positive reviews used internet address spoofing techniques to hide their identities and set up hundreds of bogus online profiles to try to get around review website controls, the Attorney General's office said.
It also found that some New York City businesses, such as a spa and a nightclub, solicited people to write fake reviews through classified advertising websites such as Craigslist.com, Freelancer.com and oDesk.com.
Yelp shares were trading at $65.83 early afternoon on the New York Stock Exchange. Shares in Barry Diller's IAC Interactive were down 0.3 percent on the Nasdaq while Google's were down 1.8 percent.
A search optimization firm named by the Attorney General's office, XVI Inc, was not immediately available for comment. The telephone line listed on the website for Zamdel Inc, trading as eBoxed, was disconnected. (Writing by Rodney Joyce)
