Some folks travel by interstate, some folks travel by destinations, some folks travel by BBQ joints, and that’s what we’re going to do today. If you have a GPS, we’re going to add some waypoints today that are guaranteed to expand that waistline a ‘lil bit, possibly stain a shirt, or two, as well as make a trip across Texas that much more enjoyable. If you’re vegetarian, well, some of these places have pickles.
We’re going to do this shotgun style, and by that I don’t mean we’re going to force you to marry one of these places, what I mean is we’re going to talk about BBQ all over the state because let’s face it, this is a big ‘ol’ place and who knows where you might find yourself? We will hit all points of the compass though, so you should be near enough to one of these places someday.
So many to choose from, so we’ll do urban area BBQ’s first, then rural.
