low and slow
Smoker's cooking philosophy
Low and slow describes a cooking method using low temperature over an extended time, typically for tough cuts of meat that need hours to become tender: Brisket is best done low and slow.
The phrase also describes a style of cruising in lowrider cars at deliberately unhurried speeds, showing off the vehicle and its hydraulics.
