Ribs, for a similar (but not the same) reason as my choice for Italian food. I don't have enough brisket in my life that I would miss it all that much. I would miss the ribs. I've had good brisket that was amazing, but it's just not ever present (or even sometimes present) in my life. It's something to get in Austin, or Athens, or...(lots of other places I don't go very often, and which also have other great foods).
