About this episode
The episode explores the barbecue scene in Texas, highlighting the best spots and the culture surrounding competitive BBQ.
BBQ is serious business in Texas — and the Eat Drink D-FW crew is taking it seriously. We dig into the best spots to find great barbecue across the Metroplex, break down how to order and eat it like a local, and make the case that "moist" is not a dirty word. We also shine a light on one of the most compelling stories in Texas food culture: the high school students across the state who've turned competitive BBQ into a full-blown sport. Pull up a chair. Grab some napkins. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
