Authentic Texas BBQ For Your Dining Pleasure

By Essie Osborn


Whether traveling or seeking out new foods in a Texas city, you will be pleasantly surprised at the items available. Texas BBQ venues are very popular and their enticing menu items will appeal to just about anyone. Other states do not offer the extensive options that this big state has - if they do, the flavor and tenderness will probably be missing. There are many varieties of these foods offered in the many state regions but many characteristics remain the same.

These south central establishments offer such meats as pork loin, brisket, turkey legs, pork ribs, beef ribs, sausage and chicken. Slow-cooked and sometimes smoked over various types of wood such as mesquite, the results are so tender, you can cut it with a fork. Many offer the selections by the pound making personal selections even more flexible and allowing for left-overs to take home and enjoy later.

Some businesses even offer their own version of a distinct barbecue sauce. It may be bottled with their own logo and offered for sale to customers as they pay for their selected food items. It makes a great gift or souvenir to take back home with you. It is also served with any foods that are purchased.

There is a wide variety of side dishes served with these meats. They can include corn on the cob, creamed corn, potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw and more. They are usually also available in to go containers of single serving, pint and quart sizes for delicious and easy at-home or office meals. Condiments include the barbecue sauce, hot sauce, ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions, and white bread slices.

Choices of cold beverages can include bottled and canned sodas, lemonade, sweet iced tea, long necks and a variety of canned beer. They are often displayed in ice-filled galvanized containers for easy access. Desserts may include fruit pies, cobblers, brownies or iced cream for adults and children alike.

Some of these popular food stops are indoor restaurants with rustic tables and chairs. Others may be just a stand with outside picnic tables. Don't expect anything fancy. The plates, glasses, flatware and napkins are all paper and plastic. A roll of paper towels in the middle of each table is often standard at these places. Takeout is extremely popular for this type of food and many also offer casual catering for local parties and events.

The state is filled with restaurants such as these. Many grew from small, independent outlets to large franchises, some of them worth millions of dollars. Many off-the-beaten-path venues are very well-known and popular with local residents. When traveling through the cities and towns, ask the locals where the best barbecue fare is located.

So if you are hungry for something different but unique and satisfying, seek out one of these food venues. You will not be disappointed in the fare that is offered and no one ever goes home hungry. Be sure to purchase enough for later - the foods make great leftovers for sandwiches and snacks.
