The League of Extra-Ordinary Reviewers invaded 3 Stacks BBQ and Tap House on Preston Road in Frisco.
For this session, I invited a new collection of old friends. The group included Frisco's popular mayor, our county commissioner, a lady Associate Judge to keep everyone in line, and because of all the beer selections I included a respected beer judge.
My guest were so engaging as you will see, that I had to post the beer pairings separately.
Having a title like 'The Rib Whisperer' is a bold and challenging title. That is especially true in Texas! But Trace Arnold isn't foolin around. He is making his mark all over the country in his custom 80 ft. BBQ Emporium on wheels and on steroids.
There is a very logical reason for the 3 Stacks. While most BBQ is cooked in one massive smoker, it is very hard to moderate the temperature of different types of wood. Some cook much hotter, some smoke in different densities, and all the different cuts and kinds of meat require different timing and turning. The 3 separate systems allow Trace and his wranglers to control those important issues.
I'd usually have more to say, but Mayor Maso, Matt Shaheen, and Terri Green had more than enough to say. You'll find them to be entertaining and enlightening. Even though we were there to try some of everything, I had to fight for a rib.
Frisco Mayor Maher Maso (say that 3 times)
It is
always good to have a new business in Frisco and watch our community continue
to grow. I was especially excited to hear that 3 Stacks Smoke & Tap
House was opening in Frisco. While opening a new restaurant in Frisco is
not an uncommon occurrence,
I knew that 3 stacks was going to be a great
community partner when they quickly took action to help victims in West, Texas
by being part of a relief effort. I am always thankful for our community
stakeholders to get involved and be part of making a difference.
That is why I was excited to be asked to be a “taste tester” for this article
and to give my comments about the food there.
Those who know me also know I really enjoy
visiting our local restaurants and trying the many different menu
items. That led to the hardest part of being part of this review –
the number of menu items! The food is displayed for your eye pleasure and if
you are a lover of BBQ, the visual choices will almost be overwhelming.
