So - you overcooked your brisket?
...put a little sauce on it

Is that pulled pork a little bland?
...sauce that shit up

You just realized that white meat dries out faster than dark meat?
...sauce it


I go to a high end restaurant and get medium rare prime rib - some people look at me crazy because it looks like they forgot to cook it.
I love it.
I love it even more with a little au jus and a dab of horseradish sauce.

I can eat a plain old hamburger cooked medium on the grill the way Ron Swanson - made of meat, on a bun, add ketchup if you like, I don't care.
...or I could pile seven layers of bullshit on that burger and and STILL enjoy every bite. It's when folks confuse condiment with component that I start to feel pity for them.
Totally agree with you on sauce. The only opinion that matters is that of the person eating the food.
