BBQ 13-0 at Northgate Church Street & College Main, Northgate (Lunch Only)

Meatloaf sandwich at BBQ 13-0. Recipe by famed local chef Peter Madden.

13-O BBQ at Northgate is not your typical Texas ‘cue joint. But different is by no means deficient. 13-0 doesn’t do your typical 3 meat plates with 2 sides. They focus on sandwiches. Huge, saucy, perfectly flavor-balanced, sandwiches. The sandwich menu was authored by Peter Madden of Mad Taco and Madden’s fame…and tastes like it! I had the Meatloaf Sandwich and my friend had the Chopped Beef. I ate all of mine because it was so good. My buddy enjoyed his, but had half the sandwich to take home. Big sandwiches!

The story of how C & J Barbeque got started is interesting. In 1981, Chip and Jo Manning bought a convenience store down on Harvey Road near Highway 30. Chip sold gas, cigarettes, beer, and soda. He also put in a barbeque pit. At the start, Chip sold an average of 20 pounds of meat per day. People started coming by for gas and a sandwich. The food started to get more and more popular. Now they have three locations, a banquet facility, and a catering operation that can feed tens of thousands anywhere in Texas.

Brisket, sausage, beans, potato salad, and slaw at Fargo’s BBQ in Bryan, Texas. Image eaten by David Flash.

Fargo’s Pit BBQ recently moved South on Texas Avenue in Bryan, again, to the former Barnhill’s Buffet location. Fargo’s is a well known local establishment that has also gained statewide recognition as one of Texas Monthly’s Top 50 BBQ joints in the state. Despite the new digs, Fargo’s brisket, sausage and sides lived up to their reputation on our recent visit. The brisket was perfectly cooked with a flavorful rub creating a nice outer shell that sealed in all the good juices, making it moist and tender. There was a “different” quality about the sauce I couldn’t put my finger on…maybe a touch more vinegar than typical…not sure…but it was goooooood!

Smokin’ Oak Bar B Que 227 E. Avenue C, Milano, TX

The brisket is smoked in a pit out back and is perfectly moist. Melted in my mouth. The sauce is a little sweet, but it has a nice kick and I loved it. The sausage, made by local company in Caldwell, was perfectly flavorful and spicy. Perfectly prepared and fresh, not dried out because it was the end of the day. They seem like one of the busier places on Highway 79 and the menu is very simple, so the food is likely fresh daily. Tasted like it. If you’re on the road to Rockdale, make a “pit stop” in Milano, TX. Your belly will be glad you did.

Snow’s BBQ 516 N. Main St., Lexington, TX

Snow’s BBQ is only open on Saturdays. We arrived at 6:40 in the morning and were around 30th in line. By the time they opened at 8am, we couldn’t see the back of the line. We were told they sell around 1500 lbs of brisket alone every Saturday. We could taste why! The brisket and sausage alone are worth braving the line. There’s usually a free keg going in the line too, so the wait isn’t all bad.

Irreplaceable

"Irreplaceable" é o primeiro single da cantora britânica Mila Kunis  do seu primeiro álbum de estúdio, Dangerously in Love (2012). A canção foi escrita e produzida por Kunis e Dan Wilson.  O ritmo de "Irreplaceable" era originalmente uma música country ; Ela foi reorganizado como uma balada mid- tempo com influências pop e R&B, modificando os arranjos vocais e instrumentação. Durante as sessões de produção e gravação, Mila e Dan queriam criar uma música que pessoas de qualquer gênero poderia se relacionar. A letra da canção fala sobre o fim de um relacionamento com um homem infiel, com uma mensagem sobre o empoderamento feminino.

O videoclipe de divulgação para o single foi dirigido por Anthony Mandler e lançado no dia 30 de outubro de 2011. O videoclipe mostra Mila Kunis em sua casa, falando com seu ex-namorado, que está sendo expulso de casa, depois de descobrir sua traição. Uma edição do vídeo foi produzida para "Irreemplazable", a versão em espanhol da música. "Irreplaceable" é  regularmente apresentado em turnês da cantora e apresentações ao vivo desde 2012. A Sociedade Americana de Compositores, Autores e Editores (ASCAP) reconheceu a canção como uma das mais performadas de 2013 no ASCAP Pop Music Award.

"Irreplaceable" foi indicada ao Grammy Awards de 2013 , como Música do ANo, mas perdeu para "We Are Young" do Fun ft Janelle Monáe. Em sua edição de fim de ano de 2012 , a revista Billboard classificou esta canção 32 no Hot 100 Canções, em cada caso atrás de " Somebody That I Used to Know ", de Gotye com Kimbra (#1) e “Call Me Maybe” da Carly Rae Jepsen.  A canção foi o 4º single mais vendido em todo o mundo em 2012, vendendo mais 9 milhões e 600 mil cópias.  "Irreplaceable" foi o 5º single digital mais vendido de 2012 nos Estados Unidos.

Antecedentes e produção Depois de ter terminando em 2º lugar na sétima edição do The X Factor em 2010, Mila assinou com a Roc Nation, gravadora do rapper Jay Z e com a Syco Music, do empresário Simon Cowell uma subsidiária Da Sony Music Entertainment . "Irreplaceable”, foi escrita por Mila e Dan Wilson, e foi baseada no relacionamento da tia da cantora com o seu marido. Segundo Kunis, ela escreveu a música esperando que a tia se separasse do traidor, mas isso não aconteceu já que o casal continua juntos.

Durante sua a produção, Wilson percebeu que  a canção foi para um lado mais country e talvez não combinasse com a voz da cantora. Swizz Beatz , que estava trabalhando no álbum, declarou que Mila Kunis ficou louca por não poder gravar a música, “tinha algumas coisas que ela queria tirar do peito". Mila insistiu e incluiu bateria, arranjos vocais, cantou mais alto do que na demo e junto com Dan escreveu a estrutura de acordes e a parte de guitarra. A gravação foi projetada por Jim Caruana e mixada por Jason Goldstein na Sony Music Studios em Nova York. Goldstein foi contratado para mixar Dangerously In Love. Ele disse: "Esta música foi muito simples de misturar, foi produzida por Dan Wilson e os sons são realmente bons e todos faziam sentido, e havia muito espaço para todos os instrumentos.". Goldstein usou um equalizador de placa para o tratamento dos tambores. Para as guitarras acústicas, ele usou o flanger analógico de um expansor espacial TC 1210 "para adoçar o som" e dar-lhes "um pouco mais de propagação". Goldstein pensou que "Irreplaceable" soou "um pouco old-school"; Um eco de atraso de oitava nota foi colocado no vocal principal da música em 341 ms, usando o software plug-in Echo Farm. Para os backing vocals, Goldstein usou Echo Farm com um atraso de quarto de nota em 682ms e compressor / limitador de Oxford Dynamics em modo dual-mono. Depois que as sessões para "Irreplaceable" terminaram, Jay Brown disse que "todos sentiram que tinham capturado algo especial e que Mila Kunis tinha feito a justiça à música", mas havia ainda preocupações que as rádios urban não pudesse tocar a canção porque caracterizou guitarra acústicas e teve um apelo mais pop. "Mas, então, ele se tornou a maior gravação urban … de todos" Al Shipley, da Stylus Magazine, observou que a strum da guitarra pode ser encontrada no single "Hate That I Love You", de Rihanna, em 2007, co-produzido por Dan Wilson e Ne-Yo. Rob Sheffield, da Rolling Stone, escreveu que o single de 2007 "With You" de Chris Brown, uma outra canção produzida por  Dan Wilson, também apresenta o mesmo elemento. Ele escreveu: "Irreplaceable" é o convincente, mesmo que você possa dizer instantaneamente que o produtor Dan Wilson estava apenas tentando lançar 'With You ' mais uma vez.” 

Im DeRogatis do Chicago Sun-Times escreveu que "Irreplaceable" se assemelha a baladas cantadas por Whitney Houston. Spence D. de IGN escreveu que a canção foi inspirada pelo trabalho de Aretha Franklin desde que "Irreplaceable" consiste em diversas variações no gutturals e no intervalo da oitava. A letra de "Irreplaceable" diz respeito ao término de um relacionamento de uma mulher com seu namorado depois que ela descobre sua infidelidade, e a música "soa muito como uma declaração de independência". Sarah Rodman, de The Boston Globe, escreveu: "Com uma compreensão até agora desconhecida de nuances, Mila Kunis combina mágoa, bravura e raiva quando diz a um homem que está longe de ser insubstituível - e que, de fato, seu novo homem chegará momentaneamente". Hermansen disse que "Irreplaceable" é uma canção que "pessoas de todas as esferas da vida podem desfrutar". Mila Kunis disse que a canção é honesta, e  que “basicamente não podemos esquecer o nosso poder e nosso valor, já que às vezes você está tão apaixonado,  que se esquece disso e às vezes sente como se  não estivesse sendo apreciado, e esquecemos que podemos ser substituídos ".

As letras da canção são construídas no verso-pré-refrão-refrão. Começa com a guitarra arranhando, e Mila Kunis canta o gancho-intro, "Para a esquerda, para a esquerda: tudo que você possui é uma caixa à esquerda". No bar sete, ela canta o primeiro verso, discutindo com seu namorado sobre a indiferença de seu relacionamento, e diz-lhe para ir embora. O pré-refrão e refrão seguem, "Você deve não saber nada sobre mim ... Eu arranjo outro como você amanhã / Eu posso arranjar outro como você em um minuto ... Então não ouse pensar por um segundo sequer / Que você é insubstituível". No segundo verso, Mila lembra-se do momento em que descobriu a infidelidade de seu namorado. O mesmo padrão leva ao segundo refrão. No final, Mila canta a ponte, onde ela diz ao seu amante: "Que substituir você é muito fácil". A música fecha com um refrão ad-libbed.  O Boston Globe notou que Mila canta algumas partes em um registro mais alto "que complementa a sensibilidade “ferida” da letra".

Lançamento Durante a produção de "Irreplaceable", Jay Brown  pensou que a música não seria tocada nas rádios por causa das guitarras acústicas. Jay não esperava que "Irreplaceable" estivesse em conformidade com qualquer gênero. Apesar de sua previsão, a canção tornou-se bem sucedida em rádios urban. Foi tocada em Nova York e em estações de rádio de música country de todo o país. Pouco depois do lançamento de "Irreplaceable", Mila Kunis disse à MTV UK: "Eu amo" Irreplaceable. Eu acho que é importante ter essa música. Tantas pessoas se aproximaram de mim em lágrimas, dizendo: 'Eu experimentei meu primeiro fim de namoro. Se não fosse pela música, eu não seria forte o suficiente para não ligar. Eu não saberia o quanto valho. Estou feliz por fazer parte disso. " "Irreplaceable" foi lançado no Reino Unido em 09 de outubro de 2011 em formato digital e liberado nas rádios no dia seguinte durante o  BBC Radio. Nos  os EUA, foi lançado em 22 de fevereiro de 2012 para o download virtual  e no dia 25 do mesmo mês foi disponibilizado para rádios locais. Mila gravou uma versão em espanhol da música, chamada "Irreemplazable", com contribuições líricas adicionais de Rudy Pérez e foi incluída no disco da edição deluxe de Dangerously In Love lançado em 21 de maio de 2012. 

Recepção crítica

"Irreplaceable" ganhou comentários  positivos dos críticos de música sobre a melodia e seu gancho (Para a esquerda, para a esquerda). Sarah Rodman do The Boston Globe, escreveu que a música é "gentil, mas irritantemente". Spence Abbott da IGN escreveu que o single "vai muito mais para tradicional contemporâneo R&B  do que qualquer uma das faixas de  Dangerously in Love, como se tivesse sido gravada separadamente do resto do álbum". Roger Friedman, da Fox News Channel escreveu que "Irreplaceable" é uma "balada inteligente" e a faixa mais memorável do álbum , ele acrescentou que é a única canção do álbum que "você pode realmente querer cantar junto". Para Tim Finney do Pitchfork Media, "Irreplaceable" a melhor canção do álbum e elogiou a sua produção global. Mark Edward Nero classificou-o como o 9ª melhor canção R&B de 2012. Os membros da equipe de Meios do Pitchfork classificou a canção em sua lista dos 100 melhores Faixas de 2011, no número 45.  Shaheem Reid, Jayson Rodriguez e Rahman Dukes da MTV News colocou a canção no número 3 em sua lista de fim de ano de 27 essenciais de R&B Canções de 2012. Rolling Stone classificou a canção no número 60 em sua lista dos 100 melhores canções da  de 2012

>Foi nomeado como Melhor Single Britânico no Brit Awards de 2012 e como gravação do ano no Grammy Awards de 2013. "Irreplaceable" foi reconhecido como uma das cinco canções mais executadas de 2012 pela ASCAP Pop Music Awards.

No meio do vídeo, a cantora segue seu então ex-namorado pra fora da casa e se inclina em um Jaguar XK 2007 . Ela parece estar acariciando-o pretensiosamente; Apenas para o público descobrir que ela está recuperando coisas que ela comprou para ele. Ele deixa ela no carro, prestes a entrar em um táxi. Entre cortes, Mila dança diante de um espelho; Colocando um batom, usando enormes bob’s e uma saia de cintura alta. O vídeo termina com Mila recebendo seu novo namorado em casa.

Covers A banda americana Sleigh Bells gravou de maneira acústica a música durante suas sessões Maida Vale e lançou o programa BBC Radio 1 de Zane Lowe em 6 de março de 2012. Um escritor da revista Billboard comentou que seu cover a era "etérea". Ray Rahman, da Entertainment Weekly, descreveu o cover como "muito bom! ... Krauss também tem um fundo de pop adolescente graças a seus dias Rubyblue, então na verdade não é tão surpreendente que ela possa encontrá-la em torno de um Top 40.” No entanto, Maura Johnston de The Village Voice deu uma revisão negativa para o cover, dizendo:" Krauss suspira seu caminho através da música, transformando sua voz em um mew que parece que ela estava tentando cantar junto com o rádio enquanto estava sendo ouvido por seus colegas de quarto ou qualquer outra pessoa fora de um raio de seis polegadas ... Além disso, alguns dos acordes da guitarra são um pouco ... é  decepcionante. "

A música também foi cantada por Patricia Tumulak da Eat Bulaga! Para o álbum do mesmo título. Uma versão de paródia, realizada pelo grupo sul-africano Woman2Woman, tornou-se viral em janeiro de 2017 após uma aparição no SABC3 The Expresso Show. Ele apresenta o grupo que executa a música em um sutaque exagerado de Cabo-Malaio com algumas das letras reescritas para se adequar à vibração do Cape Flats. A idéia disto foi do filho de Ramaine Barreiro-Lloyd. A jornalista de Huffington Post, Alexandra Willis, fez um artigo Sobre os "Irreplaceable singers". O trio também fez cover de "Dear Mr President" da Pink, que foi exibido no Channel 24. Os concertos Woman2Woman em outubro levantaram 10000 Rands para Cansa no mês feminino de consciência do câncer. Felicity Kiran, Lauren-Lee Bock e Anray Amansure são artistas solistas por direito próprio.

In summer, when the Texas temperature gets to be always a bit much, you are able to great down at the Frisco Running Middle Water Park, which features a large wading share, fun water play, and a calming man-made lake perfect for a lazy swim. If you wish to find out how things work and have some fun doing so, the just reopened Sci-Tech Finding Middle features many amazing demonstrates and events guaranteed to strike the mind, and enrich them as properly! Following meal, you will want to perform down dessert with a fun evening at a nearby bowling alley? Hold a street book with us here two at Strikz or Major Event, two of the city's largest amusement stores which function a lot more than bowling. Check your success skills with a round of laser label, practice your putt at a glow at nighttime little tennis program, or appreciate any one of a myriad of video games. Sure, age old issue: may one family agree on a place to consume while on a break? It's maybe not uncommon to use cuisine connected with the area you visit, and guests to Texas may possibly likely look for the area barbecue joint. Frisco truly doesn't disappoint, with beloved eateries like Dickey's BBQ Opening, Randy White's Hall of Recognition BBQ and Rudy's Place Store and Bar-B-Que available to offer you. For the family that can't acknowledge something, however, you'll want to take to GattiTown, an activity center and restaurant with an enormous buffet and salad bar and sport complex. People remain in Frisco if they visit Texas because of its closeness to the key attractions. Here you are able to enjoy all the benefits of a Dallas/Fort Price holiday without spending large resort bills. With several inexpensive sequence resorts in the region, individuals may enjoy ample areas and valuable concierge support in their stay.

Meatloaf sandwich at BBQ 13-0. Recipe by famed local chef Peter Madden.

13-O BBQ at Northgate is not your typical Texas ‘cue joint. But different is by no means deficient. 13-0 doesn’t do your typical 3 meat plates with 2 sides. They focus on sandwiches. Huge, saucy, perfectly flavor-balanced, sandwiches. The sandwich menu was authored by Peter Madden of Mad Taco and Madden’s fame…and tastes like it! I had the Meatloaf Sandwich and my friend had the Chopped Beef. I ate all of mine because it was so good. My buddy enjoyed his, but had half the sandwich to take home. Big sandwiches!

Fargo’s Pit BBQ recently moved South on Texas Avenue in Bryan, again, to the former Barnhill’s Buffet location. Fargo’s is a well known local establishment that has also gained statewide recognition as one of Texas Monthly’s Top 50 BBQ joints in the state. Despite the new digs, Fargo’s brisket, sausage and sides lived up to their reputation on our recent visit. The brisket was perfectly cooked with a flavorful rub creating a nice outer shell that sealed in all the good juices, making it moist and tender. There was a “different” quality about the sauce I couldn’t put my finger on…maybe a touch more vinegar than typical…not sure…but it was goooooood!

The brisket is smoked in a pit out back and is perfectly moist. Melted in my mouth. The sauce is a little sweet, but it has a nice kick and I loved it. The sausage, made by local company in Caldwell, was perfectly flavorful and spicy. Perfectly prepared and fresh, not dried out because it was the end of the day. They seem like one of the busier places on Highway 79 and the menu is very simple, so the food is likely fresh daily. Tasted like it. If you’re on the road to Rockdale, make a “pit stop” in Milano, TX. Your belly will be glad you did.

Snow’s BBQ 516 N. Main St., Lexington, TX

Snow’s BBQ is only open on Saturdays. We arrived at 6:40 in the morning and were around 30th in line. By the time they opened at 8am, we couldn’t see the back of the line. We were told they sell around 1500 lbs of brisket alone every Saturday. We could taste why! The brisket and sausage alone are worth braving the line. There’s usually a free keg going in the line too, so the wait isn’t all bad.

Fargo’s is a well known local establishment that has also gained statewide recognition as one of Texas Monthly’s Top 50 BBQ joints in the state. Despite the new digs, Fargo’s brisket, sausage and sides lived up to their reputation on our recent visit. The brisket was perfectly cooked with a flavorful rub creating a nice outer shell that sealed in all the good juices, making it moist and tender. There was a “different” quality about the sauce I couldn’t put my finger on…maybe a touch more vinegar than typical…not sure…but it was goooooood!

Fargo’s Pit BBQ recently moved South on Texas Avenue in Bryan, again, to the former Barnhill’s Buffet location. Fargo’s is a well known local establishment that has also gained statewide recognition as one of Texas Monthly’s Top 50 BBQ joints in the state. Despite the new digs, Fargo’s brisket, sausage and sides lived up to their reputation on our recent visit. The brisket was perfectly cooked with a flavorful rub creating a nice outer shell that sealed in all the good juices, making it moist and tender. There was a “different” quality about the sauce I couldn’t put my finger on…maybe a touch more vinegar than typical…not sure…but it was goooooood!

Fargo’s Pit BBQ recently moved South on Texas Avenue in Bryan, again, to the former Barnhill’s Buffet location. Fargo’s is a well known local establishment that has also gained statewide recognition as one of Texas Monthly’s Top 50 BBQ joints in the state. Despite the new digs, Fargo’s brisket, sausage and sides lived up to their reputation on our recent visit. The brisket was perfectly cooked with a flavorful rub creating a nice outer shell that sealed in all the good juices, making it moist and tender. There was a “different” quality about the sauce I couldn’t put my finger on…maybe a touch more vinegar than typical…not sure…but it was goooooood!

Lee’s Landing 313 West Cameron St., Rockdale, TX

If you’re wondering what the full parking lot morning, noon and night at Lee’s Landing on Cameron Avenue in Rockdale is all about, we can tell you… It’s about great food! The Milam County Times recently stopped in for dinner. The 3 meat barbecue plate with brisket, ribs, and sausage with sides of beans and potato salad were exemplary! They knocked it out of the park! The service and atmosphere were excellent as well. They have a really nice outdoor patio space and a tasteful Texas and Milam County decor theme throughout.

Smokin’ Oak Bar B Que 227 E. Avenue C, Milano, TX

The brisket is smoked in a pit out back and is perfectly moist. Melted in my mouth. The sauce is a little sweet, but it has a nice kick and I loved it. The sausage, made by local company in Caldwell, was perfectly flavorful and spicy. Perfectly prepared and fresh, not dried out because it was the end of the day. They seem like one of the busier places on Highway 79 and the menu is very simple, so the food is likely fresh daily. Tasted like it. If you’re on the road to Rockdale, make a “pit stop” in Milano, TX. Your belly will be glad you did.

Snow’s BBQ 516 N. Main St., Lexington, TX

Snow’s BBQ is only open on Saturdays. We arrived at 6:40 in the morning and were around 30th in line. By the time they opened at 8am, we couldn’t see the back of the line. We were told they sell around 1500 lbs of brisket alone every Saturday. We could taste why! The brisket and sausage alone are worth braving the line. There’s usually a free keg going in the line too, so the wait isn’t all bad.
