Bruh, you know what you talkin bout on this Q shyt. Chopped beef sandwiches, collard greens, dirty rice, baked bean sides, with the slice of bread.
Even them white/central TX/austin style bbq joints in Houston be jockin our recipes by lathering their shyt with bbq sauce, using chopped poke(pork) ribs, and adding all them sides, with the sliced bread. smh And they still be mostly neglecting the pork, and even they beef is different than ours, cuz they use brisket and we chop our beef.
Furthermore, most people don't know that "East TX" Bbq ain't one style of bbq. It's just a collection of all "black styles" descendant from styles brought from other southern states during the domestic slave trade and reconstruction era western exodus.
For instance there's a difference between Northeast TX bbq and Southeast TX bbq. Southeast Texas(Houston, Beaumont, Port Arthur, Orange) bbq is HEAVILY influenced by gulf coast Louisiana creole cuisine in it's use of smoked boudain, grease-beef balls, muddy-water sausage(Houston specific), smoke crabs(beaumount specific) and other seafoods.
Apparently Dallas and Tyler Texas were the centers of northeast TX que. But, nowadays Tyler is the only place you can get authentic NETX Q.
This shyt is so ingrained in the culture it's not uncommon to see the que guys standing standing outside of black clubs with they pits in the back of they trucks serving people coming out or at parades and shyt.
Real que ain't something you gotta go to a fancy restaurant downtown to find if you really in the mix down here.
