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…
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 curious to see how a cut of beef like top round would taste when smoked like a large cut of beef, like a brisket. So here's what I found. I started with a ~3lb top round. I seasoned it the same way I do for my briskets - with a 50/50 sea …
I know that most of the time I post about food that might not be considered incredibly "healthy". I do want to set the record straight that I do actually try to eat pretty healthy. My wonderful wife makes sure I get my daily helpings of fresh fruit and vegetables, and I run 4-5 miles …
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 …

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 …
There is a new Monday special from 2 Guys 1 Pit BBQ. It's a burger no less. And this is one bad burger. The immense half-pound ground beef patty (certified Angus beef) is ground at Smitty's Meat Market off Mahaffey in Tomball. It is mixed with their delicious 2 Guys rub -- and the resulting …
On the west side of Interstate 35E on the south side of Dallas, there is a great East Texas barbecue joint. Smokey Joe's BBQ is an institution in this part of Dallas. They've been here since 1985, when they converted an old gas station into the restaurant and built the original brick pit. Just recently …
