I actually much prefer buying by the pound.  On the platter they might be providing more variety but they're invariably providing less food per $. That's an ages-old restaurant trick, we did the same thing at our restaurant 30 years ago.

The real problem is that brisket at a decent place is now $30-$34 per pound and one beef rib tips in at almost $40.
Hmm. That’s probably true, but I might not care?

When I get BBQ, I actively want variety. And there’s little chance I won’t eat enough, so even if the dollar per pound doesn’t align, I’m possibly more satisfied.

Unless, in theory, assembling an ah la carte platter is cheaper.

Absolutely.  It's insane.  Raw prices for brisket have gone up maybe $2 - $3 per lb on average over the time period.  Cooked product prices have gone up from maybe $18/lb to over $30/lb.  Some places like Franklin have just about doubled in the finished good price.

It would definitely be cheaper.  Only limitation would be, how granular you can purchase.  Everybody will sell in 1/2 lb increments but there's a smaller subset that'll allow 1/4 lb increments.

Classic combo is $22 for 2 meats and 2 sides.  It fills me up.

Hmm. Looking at a place I used to live, that almost worked, save for the brisket platter up charge. Will take that forward.

Is there a brisket up charge?

Not on the classic combo, that is what I usually order, pulled pork and brisket and Brunswick stew and tots.  Or slaw.  If we both get beer, it's going over $50 obviously, my wife likes "sweet tea".

Yeah, that's ridiculous. Admittedly any brisket you buy is going to have at least a pound of fat trimmed off, and then the difference on BBQ between raw weight and cooked weight is significant (I think it loses close to 50% of its weight when cooked), so cooked prices should probably come close to doubling. But that's just a psychotic increase for cooked brisket.

Yeah, that one wouldn't appeal to me either.  A good burger to me has balance, much like a fine wine.
