Fucking a. 
Went to Two Bros last weekend as it’s nearby the hospital we were at. It’s always a solid option. Certainly not elite but it’s fine.

Yessir. They do 3 different sauces, one maple espresso base, one vinegar base, and one more Texas style. 
Their cook on the brisket can be a bit inconsistent but for an open all day place they do a real solid job. And their sides are always on point.

Rejino BBQ in Olton, TX.

Texas Trinity plate. The perfectly rendered moist brisket isn't the most visually perfect I've ever had, but OMG it was so good!!! Ribs were excellent. Jalapeno cheddar sausage had me wishing I had ordered the original, but live and learn, right? The hunk of meat on the bottom right is 3 burnt ends, and are the best ones I've ever had in my life.  I damned near went into the pie scene in When Harry Met Sally. The cucumber/tomato salad was PERFECTLY tangy for this carnivore plate and cutting that "meaty" taste that builds up on the palate.  The bacon mac & cheese was creamy and hit the spot. Did not use a drop of sauce, so I have no idea if it's good or not.  Typically I put some on my bread, but not today. 
$41 after tip and adding on the burnt ends( best choice of the day!)
He does all kinds of daily specials like CFS or smoked burgers.  The time says he opens at 11, but I walked in at 10:45 and they were ready to go.  There is also a little express store in the same building with other stuff for the trip/ taking home.  I know it is a very remote location, but if you're ever out in the boonies between LBK and AMA; it is absolutely worth the trip.

Correct meat to bread ratio.

Just got my haircut and my barber (here near Raleigh where I live) was asking for a recco on barbecue for when he goes down with his kid for a football tournament at Rice. I have no clue - what’s the best spot in or near Rice Village?

Nothing in Rice Village. Closest would be Goode Co and it’s trash. Truth is less than 5 miles from Reckling Park. Tell him to go there.

He was talking about if he needed to get a car or not and I explained to him that he should think of Houston like a state rather than a city. I'm not incredibly surprised that there's nothing great in Rice Village - I think he's motivated enough to go somewhere good. Man the barbecue here sucks.

Pit Room is the closest that's worth it and he more than likely won't have to wait an hour+

Truth is only another couple miles, but the wait will be significantly longer

It's Houston.  So it's very unlikely they're walking anywhere.  Head to Truth.  Guy is coming all the way from North Carolina.  What's another five miles to him?

 

And yes, rent a car.  Houston's fabled, mass-transit system, upon which Japan's allegedly is based, has that weekend off.

Pit Room is highly inconsistent. When they’re on, they’re in the top tier of Houston BBQ. When they’re off, they’re really, really off. I took my in-laws from Portland there one time on one of the latter days and I was flat out embarrassed by how bad it was. 
 

Edit to add that Truth has dinner hours nowadays and the line isn’t as much a factor in the evenings as it is at lunch when everyone shows up at the same time.

How it started and how it's going. Getting ready for a little ass kicking on the sooners tonite.

OK, so it isn't all about blou, we're having a little party tonite for the youngest daughter graduating Lamar U.  I like to think of it as a pre-celebration of an ou ass kicking.

Looks daf and should be sent to me for disposal. 

I think the crowd here will take care of the disposal.  Also have some pintos and cornbread for sides.  My plan is to just feast on those.  Tomorrow the plan is an asston of wrapped jap peppers, sausage, and fajitas.

@Chopper what was your favorite between InterStellar, L&L, and LA Barbecue?

I thought La Barbecue was top but it could be recency bias as it was our last stop. InterStellar and LaB were 1 and 2 and really either one could be 1. It was my first visit to InterStellar and I hadn't been to LaB since it was a trailer. They both live up to the hype. The staff at InterStellar is much friendlier and service-oriented, just like Franklin. It didn't affect anything but the staff at LaB seemed jaded and like they dgaf if we were there that day or not. I only noticed because InterStellar was extremely hospitable, as was Franklin, of course. As for L&L, I would definitely make a return visit but they didn't seem on the same tier as LaB, InterStellar or Franklin.

One note about the peach pork belly at InterStellar - adding their mustard bbq sauce makes it a 10.

KG BBQ this morning.  Line started forming around 10:20 and there was about 20-25 at open.  Ordered to go, so no pictures.

20250518_102109.thumb.jpg.3b670239fef3a64c5deda69196813aa3.jpg

Pomegranate pork ribs, moist brisket, sumac and cinnamon rubbed lamb shoulder, and mac & cheese.  Ribs remain some of my favorites but brisket wasn't great.   Left too much fat on during the trim and intramuscular fat was not fully rendered.  Tried a couple bites of the lamb - well cooked and tasty.  Can't wait to have it with the chimichurri later. 

Went to Parish Barbecue afterwards.

Three meat plate with moist brisket, smoked ham, pulled duck, remoulade slaw, and crawfish cornbread dressing.  Again, no pictures.  The brisket was incredible - they tossed in the entire burnt end.  Smoked ham was good.   Pulled duck was topped with duck skin cracklins and was great.  I like the remoulade sauce and will probably try to recreate it at home.   Crawfish cornbread dressing is as good as it sounds. 

They have worked out a few kinks since they opened a few weeks ago.   If you haven't been, put it on your list.   Well worth it.

Yeah, ever since they lost the sweetest person on earth it seems they've become very surly.  /s
