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…
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 …

I have been pestering my good friends at Tejas Burger Joint for a good long time now to create a pastrami burger. Their Smokehouse Burger is already second to none. And I thought a pastrami burger would be a nice addition to their stable of signature burgers. My simple-minded thought was, you know - take …
I first heard about Brett's Barbecue Shop out on Mason Road in Katy as they were preparing for their grand opening. Based on what I had seen on their social media outlets, they looked to be very legit. Well, it took me way too long to get over there and give them a try. But …
I recently experienced absolutely stunningly-delicious craft barbecue in one of the most unlikely places you might think of - at a corporate building food court in Greenway Plaza near downtown Houston. Yes, you read that right - a food court. Feges BBQ (it's pronounced almost like you would say the plural of the word Fiji …
