re: Documentary on Texas BBQ

I’ve had some of the best of every kind of food in some of the strangest places. BBQ in Salt Lake City. Mexican food in some town surrounded by FLDS enclaves.

I travel around a lot around national and state parks in the West and it never ceases to amaze me what had made it to some of the most remote places in the country.

You are wrong, but that is ok, you are from Louisiana and you root for LSU, you should be used to it now.

Corkscrew and Rosemeyer BBQ are both less than 5 miles from my house. Honestly have driven past Rosemeyer hundreds of times always thinking it looked like a pop up BBQ food truck, but now I’m gonna have to go check it out! Pics look amazing

We're starting to get some cool fusion stuff, like the Tex-Mex/BBQ fusion you see at Hubbard's in Dallas.

Starting to? Typical Ag, behind the times. Salt Lick was Asian/German fusion in 1967. Founder's wife was a Japanese woman who was trained as a chef in Japan before marrying her USAF husband and moving to Texas.

There are a lot more fusion places on the TM 50 list than there should be. The lead pic for #1 Burnt Bean is the founder holding a Korean fusion rib plate. Interstellar has a pretty strong Tex-Mex infusion. Heck, even Rudy's, before the franchising started that ruined it, had significant Mexican cuisine influence.

Late response but yes, overall champion. I think it was pre-determined!!

Just kidding, I've tasted some of his Q, damn good.

Yep. Despise and will not buy cheating methods at home much less competitive cooking. Smoking that requires throwing logs in fire box the way it was meant to be for smoking meat. Drinking with friends and throwing logs in firebox for hours on end is the smoking should be. Freak all the propane and pellet bullshite.

Burnt Bean is legit, I know of what you speak when you talk about some of the hipster joints TM has forced into the lineup. They aren't far from the house so we go maybe once a month or so. Here is a cool video of their story.

If your ever on the SE side of SA be sure to try 2M Smokehouse, they are near my office and I'm there regularly. They have made the top 50 the last couple of times, imo their brisket is better than BB but can't go wrong with either.

Depends on what you're cooking... propane in an Old Hickory smoker with a hickory box is great for consistent heat and flavor for a whole hog. If I'm cooking steaks it is awfully hard to beat a PK and charcoal with hickory, oak, apple, or pecan mixed in. I do not enjoy cooking on a gas grill... may as well cook in the wall oven in the house.

Although, one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten was cooked on a pellet grill with hickory... the flavor was excellent!!

Skinny jeans, a whimsical mustache, leftist politics, and a $100 tray of craft bbq! That's Texas right there!

Yeah Texas definitely got bbq’d by utsa
