The “Best of Texas” is a Big Claim

My Spanxs go off to the skinny bitch, Patricia Sharpe, and her crew that includes sweet Brian D. Sweany at Texas Monthly for, “BBQ08,” an exhaustive search for the best barbecue in the great state of Texas. Heck, I just try and cover two major cities and a few dozen in between and I can not imagine coordinating such an undertaking. I’ve tackled a few of their finds and have a couple others in my back pocket but Brian D. Sweany is going to have to buy me a rib before I talk. Read the feature and tell me what you think. Nice pictures too. (And yes, I agree with them about Dallas, we’re not such a great ‘cue town.)

Anywhoo, I just opened up an e-mail from another former D staffer, Mr. Rod “Don’t Call Me Rodney” Davis, who is now living in College Station. He points me to this link written by Robb Walsh at the Houston Press. Headline? “Best Burger in Texas?” Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about finding a nugget of a burger, rib, or side of pea salad in a ramshackle building in a small town. (Yo, those hog wings in Athens? Yes, please) I eat down and dirty all the time, but sometimes I find a lovely gem in a jewelry box. Like the cheeseburger at Taco Diner or the chicken fried steak at El Fenix. But best burger in Texas? I don’t think I could stomach that search. Unless you guys helped me out here.
