For the first time, a comprehensive guide to the best barbecue places in Texas! Others have attempted it, but no one has met the exacting standards of the author and his fictional sidekick Willie Joe. Many of the most ballyhooed places failed to come up to the mark. All barbecue places had to stand up to the demanding ribbon, fork, and squeeze tests, without regard to atmosphere, nice owners, publicity, or closeness to Austin. Troxell persuaded dynasties to part with treasured recipes and secrets including sauces, mops, and rubs. No town or city escaped Troxell's determined scrutiny. The author covered the territory in less than six months, sometimes testing as many as six places in a day. And he swears he still loves barbecue.

Don't know beans about barbeque,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Barbecuing Around Texas (Paperback)
The author of this book obviously doesn't know much about barbeque, or much about beans either. It is amazing how he gives high marks to some places, like chain barbeques, that have very substandard fare, and doesn't even mention real barbeque places with good food right down the road from them. The reviews of barbeque joints in this book are not to be trusted by serious barbeque lovers.

Out of touch,

This review is from: Barbecuing Around Texas (Paperback)
You must question the taste of someone who thinks Bill Miller and Luther's(the McDonald's of BBQ) sell great food. He clearly has a preference for aseptic chain restaurants. In the words of the late, great Stubb; "rats and roaches are God's creatures, too." I guess that is why Stubb's wasn't even reviewed. If you want good Texas barbeque, you can't go to the place with the highest Health Dept. rating. You also don't go someplace because they have good tea.

Really ZERO Stars,
By Sideshow Bob "Tex" (Bastrop, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barbecuing Around Texas (Paperback)
This book might be a great travel guide for the worst BBQ in Texas, but its' authors certainly never made it to any REAL BBQ on their "adventures." These big name restaurants are famous for making middle of the road BBQ meant to offend no-one and ultimately they offer no real food - just filler. It's like trying to figure out what great BBQ is by touring France.
