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 finally got some time this week to a make a late lunch visit to Lonestar Sausage & BBQ in north Houston. And I'm sure glad I finally got here. Kevin Mason started this business many years ago. Smoking meats and making sausages was something he enjoyed doing with his father. Like many, it started …
It's been a couple years since my first trip to Killen's Barbecue down in Pearland. And that is precisely why it's been so long - it is in Pearland. And from my house, there is no good nor fast way to get there. However, my sweetheart suggested that we take a mid-week daytrip to enjoy …
So much in the world has changed since my last visit to Paw Paw Chico BBQ. My favorite change has to be that they have moved to a new location. Apparently their old landlord on Cypresswood wanted to build a carwash or something like that, which meant they had to find a new location. Fortunately …
One heck of a husband-wife team has been hard at work for a long time now to bring their dream of a brick-and-mortar barbecue joint to life - the result of all this hard work is called Bexar Barbecue and you can find them in Tomball. It was really enjoyable to get to talk for …
Being able to get to go back to Pecan Lodge in the Deep Ellum area of Dallas was something I had been looking forward to for a good long time. There are just so many outstanding barbecue joints to try in the DFW metroplex that it had been a couple years since I got back. …
I grew up in what used to be the truly small town of Gilbert, Arizona. It was a great upbringing out in the then-rural southeast side of the Phoenix metro area. When we got there, there was only one stoplight in the whole town. And the roads south and east of our home were not …
After a long time I finally took the opportunity while in Dallas recently to get back to Hard Eight BBQ. For a regional chain joint, they really do an outstanding job. The branch I visited was in The Colony. And it is an impressive sight to see the meat you're gonna eat right there in …
As may not be surprising, I am not a big fan of chain barbecue restaurants. There is nothing wrong with them, of course. And I regularly enjoy solid barbecue from Spring Creek, Rudy's and others. But as a general rule, I'd rather eat my barbecue from non-chain restaurants. While I was in the Dallas area …
The other day I was so happy to see a barbecue trailer parked in the Ace Hardware across from my neighborhood entrance. Not being able to resist barbecue, I of course had to go over and learn more. Turns out this new pop-up BBQ place is owned and run by a new friend that I …
Before the COVID-19 pandemic closed restaurants across the nation to dine-in, my barbecue buddy, Craig, and I, made a trip up I-45 to The Woodlands to try out a long-established barbecue joint called Pit Master BarB-Que. They've been around a very long time. And there's a reason. They deliver very good quality barbecue day in …
