Think Truth is closed for a while to open the Houston location, and Snows closed for a January break as well. 

looks like they're pretty close to opening here.  exterior of the building is done, some dumpsters are on the side and they've got now hiring signs posted.

Friend of mine who was at Star-Telegram when I was there. He hasn’t gone pro yet but probably will at some point. He’s making homemade sausage and selling it to a restaurant in Fort Worth at this point. We won the TDC Rib Cookoff last year in Dallas in April and we are trying to repeat in two months.

Louie Mueller. $37 beef rib, extremely good. 58cddee40dd6c56578511c1f6e308859.jpg89864a010ca0d2eeac318820fefc56d3.jpg

Second picture assures that I’ll find some reason to be near Taylor this week.

I wanna fuck that. 

Just had Blood Bros in Bellaire. Fairly new place, I think. Very solid. Check em out if you're in the area. Bellaire and Chimney Rock.

They've done pop-ups in Houston for 3-4 years now.  The brick and mortar just opened in the last few weeks.

With no wife and kids to listen to, I’d drop $40 on that meal in a heart beat.

with beer, sausage, side, and tip it’s probably closer to $60.

Pretty nasty Instagram exchange between John, LeAnn and Wayne last night. Lots of sniping. U-G-L-Y.

Pinkerton's is opening a location in San Antonio.  I think close to downtown.

Is grant moving there or staying in Houston?

I suspect Grant will reside in Houston, but will spend a fair amount of time in SA too. Great deal for him, and I’m really happy for him

Wait wait wait, let me guess.  John owes somebody money and they are bitching about it.

From what I've seen, he has some great people working for him at the Houston location. I'd imagine they can hold down the fort while he gets SA up and running. No inside knowledge though, just impressed with what I've seen in the times I've been there.

I’m sure that’s part of it, but if what I’ve heard is true, Wayne is quite the piece of work too.

Ate at Cooper’s downtown Austin. Beef ribs were way too salty and loaded with fat. The brisket was dry. Not impressed. Next.

Grant's a really talented dude, very organized, and with the right mindset to make this all work well.  I have no doubt his SA operation will be very successful.

Yes. Because this is remotely the same thing as you telling Champ on his thread that his friendships and menu design choices are “questionable.”

Stopped by Micklethwait Craft Meats on Sunday. Got there 10 prior to opening and there was one couple waiting. The brisket picked up for dinner was outstanding. Sliced Brisket Frito Pie was an excellent lunch choice.

OTOH, Franklin had about an hour and a half line at opening.

probably 90% tourists too.  franklin needs a separate line for residents where you can show them a current utility bill and a photo i.d. or something.

Yeah, but be honest.  Waiting behind that one couple at Mickelthwait still took about 45 minutes to get your food, right? :)

No doubt. Grant found some talented people and its afforded him the ability to focus on building his business instead of being chained to the pit room or cutting block. He's a smart guy and has surrounded himself with good folks.

Basically, it started innocuously enough with somebody on Instagram giving awards for his "best BBQ bites" in Texas and his first honoree was a bite of the beef rib at Louie Mueller's. It had a pic of the blogger and Wayne holding some sort of sign. LeAnn chimed in by saying whatever beef rib is the easiest thing in the world to smoke because the bone does all the cooking. John jumped in and called her a dumbass (called her "Newton" actually) basically saying it's the heat that cooks the meat, not the bone. It devolved from there and got unbelievably nasty.

A friend sent me this photo from Guess Family BBQ, so I figured I would share it here. I'm  like 0 for 4 trying to get a meal there myself, gave up trying about a year ago. Looks edible.

Big Cat BBQ in Cedar Park is in trouble. The one time I went it was horrible. Not surprised.

I'd actually heard some good things about it maybe a year ago, so I gave it a try.  It was pretty bad.  Never went back.

Based on those two posts, I’m glad I always kept driving when on Whitestone.

Truth Houston opens tomorrow, guessing it will be a while until the line dies down. 

Anybody catch the WFAA bit on Tender Smokehouse in Celina? Any of the Shag experts been there?

Havent journeyed out for good bbq in a minute...been thinking about cruising towards bodacious in longview or finally getting around to trying franklins(kinda want to wait until i have a few days in austin to hit about 4 spots)

Probably need to hit up guess in waco from the responses and it is the closest

Bodacious on Mobberly is number 4 ranked spot in Texas. And its not a 3 hour wait like some other places. I’d go there. Tell Bryan Bingham and Jordan Jackson that Buchanan sent you. Its really good stuff

If you come to Austin to hit 4 spots including Franklin, I would recommend the following.  Pre-order La Barbecue and avoid the lines.  Micklethwait's had no line at opening last Sunday.  Breakfast at Valentina's on the day you are not waiting in line at Franklin.

If you go to Guess, go before Noon.  The lines were not all that long, they just don't cook very much and sell out quickly.
