Should I cut fat off brisket before cooking?

Ultimately, it's a matter of taste. Some barbecue fans consider the layer of fat attached to the brisket - the "fat cap" - as an unappetizing nuisance that should be trimmed off. Others consider it a delicacy that, when properly cooked, adds savory richness and intense smoky flavor to the meat.

Do you cook brisket fat side down?

If your heat is directly beneath the brisket, then turning the fat down will help protect the meat from the heat. ... Ideally, flip and rotate your brisket at least once during the cooking. If you need the fat to shield the meat from the fire, then leave it fat side down for the majority of the time.

What kind of buns do restaurants use?

Every restaurant makes a choice about what it thinks a high end bun is. I would personally say either a brioche bun or an onion roll. I think the key is that the bread is fresh, it's different from a white bread bun, and it gets a little TLC itself.
