The case was dismissed against La Barbecue in Austin for insurance fraud. An employee lost four fingers while grinding sausage back in 2016. www.mysanantonio.com/news/austin/...

I was chided in TM’s monthly email about page views because nobody seems to want to read about the country’s first BBQ museum or the play Das Barbecü, a BBQ-themed version of Wagner’s Ring cycle. Maybe y’all want to read them. www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/museum-o...

In 12 years as BBQ editor I had no reason to visit Del Rio because nothing happens there on the BBQ front. This year is different. A promising new spot just opened, and the 50+ year old Hot Pit BBQ closed for good. www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/humo-pri...

Our barbecue editor @bbqsnob.bsky.social visited a Kansas City mall to experience the first museum dedicated to the cuisine in the country. He thinks it's a good start for such a meaty subject. www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/museum-o...

You had to catch Hill Country on a right day, but when you did, it made you remember why Texas barbecue is beloved around the world. Gift link: wapo.st/4ip2ofV

Former staff made some serious accusations of diabolical behavior by the owners of AJ’s Pit BBQ in Denver. Reddit post says Jared and Amanda Leonard pocketed tax withholdings, didn’t pay vendors, and are hiding out in Mexico. www.reddit.com/r/denverfood...

"Two barbecue pits, both alike in dignity (In fair Lockhart Texas, where we lay our scene), From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil sauce makes civil hands unclean." excerpt from my adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, the setting moved to the feud between Black's and Terry Black's BBQ

Edge Craft BBQ in OKC is on my list of the best Texas-style BBQ joints in America. The owner was keeping tip money. They’ve now settled with the DOL for $66K in back wages to employees. kfor.com/news/local/l...

Javier Sanchez of Chief Firewood supplies post oak to 3 of the 4 BBQ joints in TX that received a Michelin star. His father Joel “Chief” Sanchez started the company in 1990.

The barbecue down in southeast Texas is so great now. Mout’s Barbeque in Winnie, Charlie’s Bar-B-Que and 1701 BBQ in Beaumont, and Redbird BBQ in Port Neches make the area one heck of a BBQ destination.

There are now 4 BBQ joints in the world with a Michelin star, and they’re all in Texas. www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/texas-ba...
