I am going to be down there the end of April and I promised to show some Aussies how Texans do BBQ. Any reccos for the best BBQ in town? (Prefer a proper “joint”)
As a native Texan who has eaten at many of the top places in state (and several out of state), I can confirm that this opinion is wrong on so many levels.
For comparison, my former favorite place in Houston was Goode BBQ.
I have been to the ‘good’ places in and around Austin. By the way, the original Salt Lick was a major disappointment.
Next time I’m in town, you and Joe can take me to a proper BBQ place. Next time you’re in NYC, I’ll return the favor by taking you to the best pizza place. Deal?
FWIW – neither Goode Co nor Salt Lick are Top 50 in Texas (based on both Texas Monthly rankings and the general consensus).
Happy to eat the NY pizza though
It sounds like a quintessentially Houston spot that mixes cultures and cuisines in a way that’s greater than the sum of its parts. The best example of that is Crawfish & Noodles, a killer Vietnamese-Cajun restaurant where you can eat spicy Vietnamese crawfish and salt-and-pepper crab with ice cold beer.
