BBQ is no joke.....that's something Dallas is missing.

I think it's because so many people that move here have an affinity for Austin/Central Texas (or they went to UT for school). Central TX BBQ is everywhere and people go crazy over some brisket. None of these hipster BBQ cac joints (looking at you Pecan Lodge) would even know what a hot link basket is. The 'que is still good, but they definitely over-value the Czech/Polish/German contribution to the meat game. I want sweet potato pie, bbq hot links and chopped beef, mustard potato salad, greens, okra etc. Gotdamn we need more joints....
nikkarachi whatchu mean bbq is sumthin dallas is missing.....hell both black n yt folks have fiya bbq here in DALLAS

:ufdup: 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.


Making me hungry :russ:

I think some local brehs are seeing the inefficiency in the market.

I've seen a couple of brehs near Uptown and at least one in Lake Highlands with a traveling smoker for que.

Honestly hasn't been the same since Carter's BBQ near Fair Park closed down about 15 to 20 years ago. That man made better que in a tiny shack than anything I've had in DFW to this day.

Heard about those grease balls/BBQ with boudin. Texas Monthly (I think it was them) even had an article talking about how East/Southeast TX que gets overlooked. All those great black pitmasters stories are untold. Instead we just hear about that Austin white boy Aaron Franklin.

History and ongoing in Texas. Something is just off about this place.
Where is the least amount of racism against black people? Ya'll keep trying to relegate racism to one place when it's everywhere. You literally have black folks being murdered everywhere and ya'll are really trying to say that it's worse in Texas?

Lol you always got to try to sneak diss nyc

Beyonce loves it here though.
He's right though.

Central Park used to be Seneca Village, the first all black community in NYC. It was destroyed to build what is currently known as Central Park and all of the residents were forcibly removed.

Man Dallas do have some racist cacs but let's not act like they didn't frame 5 black men in NYC for rape, or Rodney King didn't get his ass beat by laws on TV in LA bruh. You black bruh, you can encounter that shyt anywhere. Boston is the most :mjpls: place I have ever been in my life. Honestly as black as Chicago is I was shocked how segregated and divided racially it is. North and Southside of Chicago was like night and day to me.
Like @Killmonger said racism isnt geographically restricted to one area...its everywhere in America.

Even here in Colorado, the KKK used to run shyt in the 1910s and 1920s. And many of these rich white enclaves were designed to preserve white hegemony and specifically excluded blacks.

Hell, Black people couldnt even move to or legally live in the state of Oregon until 1926.

Anywhere White people white congregate or reside in America there will be racism thats just a given...even in these liberal areas.

Best BBQ I've had out here have been bone daddy's, kenny's smokehouse, and sparkle's and chef g's aka southern gourmet kitchen. Haven't been impressed by the bbq spots that get hyped up out here like Lockharts or hutchins.

Anthony Bourdain pulled up at one of the real spots here in Houston's nawfside.



This white boy went and dug up an authentic joint on the southside.



Only breh(ette)s who fukk with them overrated mainstream centex style joints in houston be OTers.
