Kloby's had the best beef brisket that I've had in HoCo. But the closest almost-Texas quality brisket I've had in the region is 2Fifty Texas BBQ inside the DC beltway, just a bit south of College Park.

Thanks!

Bullhead pit beef next to Hysteria makes the best brisket I've had in the area

My wife picked up some at Martin's in Eldersburg, but they only had the regular not Zero. Not a fan and I love every other flavor of Dr Pepper...

Yeah I have. I wasn't the biggest fan. Definitely better than mission like you said. But I don't think their brisket is that good. To be fair I'm a brisket snob, and there's not a place in HoCo that I feel does a good brisket that I've found.

Their sides are pretty good though.

Have you actually been? They do (or used to do) a good job.

Ehhh, any place that has to do something like their jar-b-cue stunt doesn't give me confidence in their bbq as a whole.

Not brisket but don’t sleep on Canopy over on Rt. 40 in Ellicott City.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've been to Hideaway, it is good. Very similar menu to Julep in Annapolis, same company. I will check hocofood

Great summary, thanks. It's hard work keeping people up to date on local politics and I definitely appreciate it.

might want to ask over on r/hocofood

You can try Kloby’s off John’s Hopkins road and 29. I like their brisket over Mission BBQ.

Saw it there yesterday, yes. HT in kings contrivance.

Saw it last week or the week before at Harris Teeter on Guilford, I’m pretty sure.

Not quite Columbia, but in the area I like Hideaway in Odenton.

Not a problem. It's my community too.

I lived in Eaves for a while. There are a number of bus depots in the area but by far the best is the one on Broken Land Pkwy near 32 with express buses to DC in the morning. There is a bus depot at the mall but I do not know if it is for local or if any buses go to Balt or MoCo. I would check the schedule

I am sorry I should of called. Things get taken care of faster over a phone call than an angry email :( Thanks for taking time out your day.

I actually found the sign on Google Maps.

If you follow 29N, right before Exit 20, you can see the sign from the June 2019 images, but as you progress on the off-ramp, you can see in the Sept. 2022 image the sign is on the ground.

I called the MDOT SHA number I mentioned below, was transferred to the division that handles Howard County. The person I spoke with was very pleasant and I mentioned the downed sign. They'll look into getting the issue addressed.

Lets see how long before it's back up. It's hard to say if it's a redundant sign, as a few hundred feet down the ramp there's another sign, but the downed one included the blue informational signs that the other doesn't have.

Many of those areas that are being mowed are handled not by contractors. They've got plenty of work on their hands and perhaps even mentioned it to a supervisor, but who knows if it was ever reported to the State.

My best recommendation, as you're familiar with the downed sign and it's location, is to contact the MDOT SHA 301-513-7300. I've called them in the past regarding other matters and they're generally responsive to issues.

I revised my comment to include Route 29.

I think I’m just in shock it’s been their for 3 years. Big green direction sign laying next to the guardrail/wake-up strips. I’m upset the mowers just mowed around it for 3 years. Nobody cares the state tax money sign has a floor point of view.

Thanks everyone! It’s so funny my brother was talking about discovering Raising Canes in VA and how good it was just a few weeks ago. Supposedly the chicken is amazing!
