I disagree that Reese Bros is not worth ordering. I think it is every bit as good as 2M, which I love. Overall, these are my 10 favorite spots, in no particular order (not that anyone asked or cares): Truth Brisket & Rice Leroy & Lewis Burnt Bean Tejas Reese Bros Valentina’s Butter’s 2M Lavaca (although my pops said last time he went he was disappointed, need to confirm)

Top 10 list.

Met my folks and brother and sister-in-law at Lost Pines this past weekend. Seeing that Snow's was just under an hour from Lost Pines, I put together an excursion to go Saturday morning. (I also had s

How long do you hover over your keyboard contemplating whether your drivel has captured the right amounts of smarmy and cocksucker before you hit reply?

Just got back to Dallas from Lexington. What a trip. We pulled up around 8:30/9 Fri night and were first on the scene. We went to the bar around the corner until they closed at midnight and came back

After 20 years of living in Tyler and frequenting Stanley's, I finally had my first Mother Clucker today. Great success. I've always held off because of the fried egg. But damn, what a sammich.

Worked at the TMT many years ago and that’s the only thing I miss about Tyler.

What’s wrong with a fried egg?

Runny yolks aren't really my jam by themselves.  But I'd heard nothing but great things about it and enjoyed the hell out of it.

Stanley's still is, and always has been, one of my favorite things about Tyler.  I've only lived here about 20 years at this point, but I'm glad to say there are some other cool places here now as opposed to when I first moved here.

We overlapped a few years. I spent lots and lots of time down the street from the office at Don Juan’s. Actually I hid there during the courthouse shootout too as a friend got hit.

I was about to ask which Don Juans, but that clears it up.  That was an awful day.  My wife (no pics) was driving from Longview to Tyler for a hearing in Federal court, and I was on the phone with her to tell her to get off 271 because shit was headed that way.

Hope she stopped at Country Tavern, because they have the best ribs I’ve ever had (getting it back on topic ...)

Brother will be coming down for July 4th and we are going to San Antonio...is 2M still the top spot for bbq or are there is anywhere else to take the family

If you’re going with a family I’d go to Pinkertons because of the outside area/park. Plus the full bar never hurts.

Goldee's in Fort Worth. Definitely deserves the high praise I've been hearing. Brisket was great, bark was spot on. Ribs are great and tender, I prefer a hint of sweetness on my ribs. Sausage is above avg, I prefer a coarse grind though. Cheesy grits are phenomenal. Potato salad is unique, not what you find at other joints. Cole slaw is nice. Beans were great, has beef with a tex mex twist to them.

Maybe I will, Lois. Maybe I will.

Brisket and pulled lamb were great. Sausage was not very good but oh, well. Good way to start off Easter.

Braff, você quer um soco na cara?  Porra.  Pro tip, find me on Instagram. 
 

Today I was in Eagle Lake at lunch so I stopped into Austin’s BBQ. Proudly displayed on the building, like aggy and fake championships, they have the years they were on the TM list. Also just like Aggy, it was bad. I can’t think of a brisket I have eaten that was drier. How dry?  Imagine How wet South Austin’s mom is on a Saturday night. Now try to imagine the exact opposite. No Big Red. The sausage was the only thing that was ok.

Reminds me of a time we were driving to Austin from Houston on 71 in the late 90s.  It'd been a while since I'd made the drive and we kept seeing billboards for some BBQ joint in LaGrange.  The last of the billboards said, "Come check out our trophies!"  That sold the guy who was riding shotgun,  and we stopped.  Long story short, it was piss, and the trophies were a bunch of fucking deer heads mounted to the walls. 

/edit  It was Texas One Stop.  On the website, they still have the "trophies" displayed.  On their Yelp! page, some dude left a glowing review of the BBQ and posted this picture.  I stand by my review from over twenty years ago before the Texas BBQ revolution, but when a good many of us still could tell the difference between shite and not shite.

Roegels has whole hog today. I’d recommend a little Louisiana hot sauce on the pulled pork.

Roegels gives you a vinegar sauce on the side. From my brief stay in North Carolina, they usually sauced the pulled pork before serving it. You're then strongly encouraged to put hot sauce on it. They drink Texas Pete by the gallon in North Carolina so that's usually what's on the table. I'm not sure if there's a right way or a work way to do it. 

I also ordered brisket at Roegels. Of course the brisket absolutely lapped the pulled pork, but it was nice to try something different.

Went to Snows today got there at 7:30 waited fuckin 7 hours and they ran out of Brisket of everything but regular sausage at about 10 people in front of me. Ended up getting a link which was nothing special and decided to chance and drive down to Truth's in Brenham. Luckily they still had Brisket and a few items and were pretty much on point. To starving that I got to forget to a picture.
