This site is dedicated to sharing my experiences with food of all sorts, but especially smoked foods. There may be a heavy emphasis on my favorite, Texas Barbecue…
I've lived in Texas a long time, and have traveled all over the state enjoying Texas barbecue. So it was high time I tried a place I have heard about in my own back yard. So my wife went with me yesterday down to Pearland, Texas to try out Killen's Barbecue. And boy howdy we …
Thursdays at Tejas Chocolate & Barbecue are always enjoyable because it's Pastrami Thursday. However, recently it was even better for a few additional reasons: My wife was with me. We had good friends there too. Besides pastrami, they had a special housemade barbacoa boudin sausage. So I'd say those are some really good reasons . Tejas' …
On my last trip to Dallas I got a chance to visit Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse in Richardson. My original intent had been to go to "The Original" in the Inwood area. But I couldn't make it - I wish I would have made the longer drive down, as the experience at the Richardson joint was underwhelming. …
We had some friends over Saturday night to introduce them to cooking on a pellet grill. It was fun showing them how simple to use these grills are. I love my Traeger Texas Elite 34! It was BYOM so we had a variety of tasty grilled meat to share. Ribeye, New York strip and top sirloin …
When I recently visited Brooks' Place in Cypress, I was introduced to a new cut of smoked meat I had never even considered. I’ve eaten a lot of barbecue at a lot of places all over Texas. But I have never heard or someone smoking this cut of meat. When smoking brisket, pretty much everyone follows …
Brooks' Place, a great BBQ joint in Cypress, is pretty amazing. And it’s not just the great-tasting, well-smoked meat. What really blew me away was the proprietor and pitmaster, Trent Brooks. After I placed my order I had to get a peek at the pit that was in use. So I went to the back of …
I heard about Brooks' Place not long ago from a friend. Yesterday I finally got a chance to visit, and I was blown away. It is totally worth the drive from wherever you are in the Houston area. First, about the meat – wow the meat! The brisket was moist and flavorful, with a great amount …
Recently while I was in Dallas on business I tried to get to Meshack's BBQ Shack in Garland. I've really enjoyed East Texas BBQ (based on experiences at Burns Original and SouthernQ in Houston) and was hoping to try some from here as well. All reports were that their smoked meat is top notch. Sadly …

I'm already dreaming about those 44 Farms beef ribs from Tejas Chocolate & Barbecue. Can't wait til they're being served again this week! They're beautiful to look at whether still in the pit or already on the tray. That melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness just can't be beat. Oh, and in case I hadn't said it before, the …
In the small town of Waxahachie, a short drive south of Dallas, is a great barbecue joint that is well worth the detour off I-35E to enjoy - called Harris Bar-B-Que. Kelvin Harris has been producing his brand of Texas 'cue for a number of years now. And I'll tell ya, he's got it down …
