That looks expensive to me, especially for average cue. In my
experience, the good stuff tends to be in the less refined places, so
the prices are no more than the average places housed in nicer
buildings. As a ballpark, I would say about $10 for a pound of brisket,
or pretty much any other meat for that matter. A sandwich shouldn't be
more than about $4 for a sandwich by itself, IMO.
