[Caca-faat]

Is that someone’s Sunday dinner? They not like us.

y'all be killing me with the gravy

Facts.

We have to stay working out in the South or we would all weigh 400 lbs.

Central Texas has a lot of German and Czech influence plus Black folks while East Texas is very much "Black/Southern BBQ."

The Central style is good with brisket but I think the East Texas style has better sides, sauce, chopped beef, hot links etc. It's more well-rounded IMO, but doesn't get the shine......because most folks coming from NYC, LA, Chicago etc, would go to Austin instead of Tyler, Marshall, Waskom, Beaumont etc. They get indoctrinated into thinking the white/Central TX style is the only representation when the Black/East TX style is older and (IMO) a better representation of good que.

Louisiana and Texas got the best food

where are some good fba spots in texas that are less talked about to get food and possibly a wife at?

As soon as I hit the south, I’m eating my way through Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi

Don't know about finding a wife, but here are 2 in the Houston Area

Houston - Gatlins - Gatlin's BBQ

Galveston - Leon's - LEON'S WORLD'S FINEST BARBEQUE, Galveston - Photos & Restaurant Reviews - Order Online Food Delivery - Tripadvisor

I can't personally recommend Sam's in Austin - Login • Instagram

I swear the one time I went in there, the old lady behind the counter had me move some boxes for her before she took my order.



The food was not good...

 

[MushroomX]

No biscuits and gravy are not a thing here. Roast potatoes and gravy now we will fukk up in a heart beat.

These kids have never had ribs before. This kid bit into the rib long ways

Yeah, coming up in the H, I always thought that there was Black ppl BBQ and White ppl BBQ. I didn't really frame it as such, but I wasn't the biggest fan of BBQ then.

Were it not for all the tech stuff popping off in Austin (really blogs and then social media, cause Austin been had IBM/AMD/Intel/Apple/Dell), I very much doubt Aaron Franklin would have blown up the Central Texas style. Now its called "craft" BBQ, and the internet has done its thing and folks have 100x'd something that used to be cheap and affordable.

Cause folks in Austin really wasn't driving to Lockhart like that in the 90s/00s. You might stop off and grab something, but you wasn't making a pilgrimage to no damn restaurant.

WAIT 4 HOURS? FOR SOME BBQ? WHO SMOKING IT, JESUS?

Omg yes.... I tell WFH coworkers from out of state that they should go straight past Austin and hit the part of the highway where you can drive 85 mph. Try Kreutz or one of them other smaller joints for CTx bbq. It's not going to be that much different from Franklin's but you don't have a crazy azz line either.

My favorite spot was Carter's in South Dallas but that mug been closed for like 20+ years.

No idea on what's popping now in the small towns.

For DFW, it's not FBA....but it IS Black (Ethiopian); a joint called Smoke & Ash BBQ.

Haven't tried it, but people say it's pretty damn good. You can get ribs, brisket and stuff right next to doro wat and injera. Ain't never heard of Black BBQ/Ethiopian fusion, but there it is.

This is what h caught 2 days ago, them bytches only medium size. I catch ones double the size of these at least twice a month.

I been on my fisherman shyt recently, it's a lot of fresh water fish up here in the lakes. I been getting a lot of Rock Bass, Blue Gill, Crappie, and Catfish. I got a whole freezer full of them bytches.

I always gain 10 lbs when I go back home.

Texas alone has 4 diff styles of BBQ

• Central Texas (what people think of these days - ideally no sauce, all smoke (post Oak))
• East Texas (sweet sauce and beef links)
• South Texas (Barbacoa)
• West Texas (Mesquite has a way diff flavor than Hickory)

But as good as Texas is

Louisiana is on a whole other level of food. New Orleans, Lafayette, Baton Rouge...

But don't sleep on AL/MS/GA and the rest.

As long as you get someone to steer you right, you'll never have a bad meal in The South.

There's a reason that the South is as heavy as it is.

Louisiana is great at creole and Cajun as it should be. The bbq is pretty weak but that’s understandable.
