Want to try some authentic Texas BBQ!

[fuzzybabybunny]

I'm going to be passing through Texas along I-40 on the return leg of my road trip, and I've never tried Texas BBQ, or even been to Texas for that matter. Anywhere along I-40 is fine. I currently have no idea when I'll be driving down it

Or some other native-to-Texas cuisine is good too.

EDIT: Somewhere kinda cheap-ish would be best. I can't throw down $15+ for an entree.

beans n' things at 1700 Amarillo Boulevard East is the only bbq joint in amarillo on texas monthly's 2003 list of the top 50 bbq joints in texas.

google maps it the best




edit: there are no less than four unique styles of texas barbecue. see here for more info

Great, now he's gonna think Amarillo is representative of Texas

Just look for a halfway decent looking roadside place that looks halfway busy and pull in. 95% chance that you will leave happy.

I find that the worse it looks on the outside the better the BBQ is inside.

My car broke down outside of Amarillo once and I had to spend two days there waiting on a part.

I probably set the land speed record for I-40 westbound to GTF away from there.

Not really a whole lot bad....or good there. I found Lubbock a little better, but not that much.

Unless you find cattle, a sulfur factory, a prison, and a nuclear weapons plant to be high entertainment.

Just keep looking for a huge red "Rudy's" attached to a gas station and you found your spot.

Texas is a shitty state regardless of where you sample it. Save for Austin, which does have a couple redeeming qualities.

Rudy's is overpriced and overrated.

Don't get me wrong, it's not terrible, just far from the best.

Are you kidding me? And you live in Austin too?

What about for those of us that are no where near Texas? Any advice for ordering something online or recipes?

Glad to hear you aren't coming back. Please don't come back to Austin, I am moving there in a few weeks and we don't want your attitude there either.


side note: It's January and 75 degrees out. I love Texas.

Rudy's is definitely not an example of authentic Texas BBQ

I think you got that wrong. Texas is a great state except for the shitty part known as Austin.

That area reminds me of Deliverance.




OP: Make sure you get some smoked brisket. That's signature TX right there.
