Texas barbecue sucks though, so he’s kind of right. But mostly wrong, since barbecue in Brooklyn is just shitty Texas  barbecue, which makes it a shitty knockoff of already shitty barbecue. Fight me.

Pecan Lodge in Dallas was damn near religious.

I can sorta see the view that Texas barbecue isn’t good because there are so many places that the overall barbecue profile can average out to mediocre.  The biggest problem I encounter living here is meat that is either too dry, or that depends on the sauce to give it its flavor.

In Plano I never really found good stuff.  Dallas has quite a few, so does Houston.

They do. You just have to look a little and ask around.  Not every place is guaranteed.

Opposite direction, up in Celina had a place called tender which is supposed to be really good.

O kay, will fight.

Bad Texas barbecue—especially the beef stuff—is a crime against humanity. But the good stuff where the salt-and-pepper crust crystallizes into a delightful bark and the meat inside becomes a moist delight is a religious experience. The big problem is, it’s hard to get right.

The main Texas mag is based in Austin and has an annoying favoritism towards Central Texas-style beef-based joints run by gentrifying hipsters, which is really annoying. Some of them can cook really well, but others that are “ranked” and “known” could be out-cooked by any hole-in-the-wall joint out there. Skip the ranked joints with their tough meat and find a solid place you can smell a mile away out in the country instead, TBH.

But honestly, we do pork well here, too, which is criminally underappreciated, and I am all about those ribs.
