I've been to 8/10 of this year's top 10, plus other standouts like La Barbecue, Hutchins, and Pecan Lodge. The burnt end they gave me when I ordered was probably one of the top 5 bites of BBQ I've ever had.

Not yet. I will let y'all know.
Just haven't had the opportunity to venture up to DFW yet.

In line at truth. 1015, 10 people back. Should be a good day !
FYI, Cattleack will be closed on July 6th and 7th. And it's worth the wait in line. In my opinion, easily the best in DFW and rivals Aaron for the best in the state.
Good to know you can still go to Truth not super early and still get a good spot in line (on a Friday and Sunday at least)

Yeah that surprises me. I had heard that when the list initially came out in the first few weekends after were really crowded down at truth. But I'm totally on board with it as me and the girlfriend just made plans to take off on a Friday and hit up truth and then Bluebell a few weeks from now.
I had Valentina's for the first time yesterday and enjoyed the moist brisket and jalapeno cheddar sausage as well as the habanero mustard sauce. Getting smoked corn and tortillas made for a nice change of pace from the usual sides/bread. Will definitely return, and hopefully their restaurant will be open by then.
Speaking of Truth, their planned Houston expansion means bbq here just keeps getting better:

What time did you go? I almost ended up there yesterday.
330 maybe? I lost track of time after sitting in the heat at JK for a couple hours.Chipotlemonger said:

Dillon and Leonard gave us a few pieces of burnt end and they were amazing. I think the bark at Truth is better than Snows albeit Snows is a bit more moist and the fat seems to just be rendered better. Not sure it's worth the additional 2 hr wait and extra drive for us.
My stepdad went to Longview on Wednesday for burnt end boudin at Bodacious. That stuff is ridiculously good.
Good to know. They were cleaned out of nearly everything when I went on a Saturday afternoon a few months back, so I will get there earlier next time.jh0400 said:

Arrived at Snow's at 6:22. We are 35th in line... Wow. Just wow.

That's crazy. Did they say how many people they serve before running out?

Cattelack puts out the most moist brisket I have ever had. However their seasoning is too light for me. I'd prefer stronger salt and/or pepper and maybe a few other flavors. From a pre meat perspective it's spectacular.

I didn't ask. They had everything when we hit the line...

Finally went back to Corkscrew yesterday to check out the new digs and was very impressed. Between the rib and shoulder I ordered, that's prob the best pork I've had at a TX joint. The brisket was no slouch either. Houston may be my favorite TX bbq city/area now, and just a few years ago it wasn't even close.
Went to yeti to redeem for a prize and they said already 6 people had redeemed for the top 50 cooler. Crazy.
My guess is people in statewide sales or people that have friends in some of the remote areas of the country.rdag04 said:

I love their pulled pork. Best I've ever had. Been preaching that for years.
I had some pretty decent BBQ in Copenhagen at Warpigs brewpub. The best brewery in the country also serves BBQ. Who knew?
Stopped in to Miller's in Belton yesterday after I picked up a new pew-pew toy. I had the brisket sandwich and my wife had the jalepeno-cheese sandwich, and we had the mac and cheese and cole slaw.
Really nice brisket. Sausage was on point too.
Now if I can figure out how I ended up in that boat with my new toy, and how it fell in Lake Belton... ;-)

Wadd, did you try the pork shoulder at Snow's? Im trying to get someone else's opinion on it but I thought it was great and I haven't seen any other places that serve it in steaks, vs. pulled.
I did have the shoulder... but she pulled it off the bone and "smashed it" with the heel of her hand rather than "pulled it." It was damned good though.

My favorite sausage anywhere. Other stuff is great as well.
Yeah, it was pretty darned good...

I went to Heim in ft worth. Pretty tasty. For me, Truth is some of the best.
I think I saw an article somewhere (HBJ?) that Truth is looking to open an ITL store in Houston.
Apparently it's a done deal, they just haven't announced the location yet.

This is my favorite thing at Snow's. So much smoky flavored goodness in a meat most places can't get any flavor in!!!
Going to Tejas tomorrow (Wednesday). 10:30 ought to be ok, right?
