Texas BBQ
Lone Star cookout
Texas BBQ is barbecue in the style associated with Texas, emphasizing beef—especially brisket—smoked low and slow over wood, often post oak.
The meat takes center stage, with sauce served on the side if at all.
Central Texas style uses simple salt-and-pepper rubs; East Texas tends sweeter and saucier.
We drove three hours for Texas BBQ and waited in line for two more.
