There is no question in my mind that Pecan Lodge in the Deep Ellum area of Dallas is one of the top barbecue spots in the entire state. I went recently and got to try the moist brisket, burnt ends, their house-made sausage, and something I'd never even heard of before - a fried pork …
While on our visit to the Outer Banks, NC, I had to try some commercial Eastern Carolina whole hog barbecue. So we went to Darrell's 2 BBQ & Seafood in Nags Head. The pork was good, improved of course by the Eastern Carolina vinegar and red pepper sauce. The hush puppies were delicious. The onion …
Duck Donuts are flat out simply amazing donuts. The folks that created this concept out in Duck, North Carolina (yes, there really is a town named Duck) on The Outer Banks had such a brilliant idea. So simple and so delicious! And when I learned that there is also a Duck Donuts in Houston, I …
This week I got special treat - I got to try my brother's home-smoked pulled pork while we were together on the Outer Banks in NC. It was a 7.8lb bone-in butt that he smoked at 225° for ~16 hours over hickory and apple. It had such a beautiful mahogany color on the bark. He …
If you're anywhere near the Tomball, Pinehurst or Magnolia areas, you've got to visit Reveille Barbecue Co. James and Michael really know their barbecue, and they are most assuredly going to become one of the best barbecue spots in the metro Houston area. Go give them a try! They just started up a few weeks ago. …
Burns Original BBQ has got to be one of the best East Texas-style BBQ joints on the planet. The Burns family has been doing it so right here for a very long time - just amazing!! Totally worth the trip to the Acres Homes area from wherever you are in the metro Houston area. The pork …
I'd heard that Pappa Charlie's Barbecue had found a new home in Cypress near SH290 and Spring Cypress. So i just had to give them a try. Their brand of BBQ had a good smoky flavor. The brisket was tasty with a great peppery bark, but it was a bit undercooked, as the fat was …
I was so hopeful to try Texas Ranch BBQ while in Austin recently. I'd heard great things about them, so was very anxious to get a taste. Sadly the closest I got was to go into the building that houses Papalote Taco House. The barbecue trailer out front was closed for some reason even though …

The Black family has quite an impressive Texas barbecue pedigree. So while in Austin I had to try Terry Black's Barbecue to compare it to the original Black's Barbecue in Lockhart. Not surprisingly, it was great stuff. I enjoyed every bite! The brisket was on point. The sausage was excellent. The pork ribs were very tasty. …
