    What is the best BBQ restaurant in Houston area that I should try? I have tried Ruby's and Mama's Smokehouse. They are pretty good.

    Any else restaurant that will top out these two?

    The Pit Room and Roegels have also been good to me.

    Jackson Street BBQ was a pleasant surprise. Wasn’t bad at all.

    I live a couple of miles north of Roegel's. Will have to check it out


    Anyone try Pinkerton's? Pretty good if you haven't

    Had their pastrami beef rib (a Friday special) a couple of weeks ago. It was ridiculous. And ridiculously good.

    Tejas Chocolate, Corkscrew and Killeen’s are the top 3 Q joints in Houston. Pinkertons, Roegels, Pitroom, Gatlin’s are the next tier.

    It’s owned by Greg Garlin of Gatlin’s BBQ and Bryan Caswell of Reef, El Real and Little Big’s. It’s okay. Gatlin’s blows it away by a long shot.

    I loved that video. Thanks for sharing.

    Sidenote: born and living in the states for 35 years. It made me so happy to see them eating but it made me think gosh.....I’ve never had real Texas BBQ or even KC, Memphis or any other southern region. I need to plan a trip centered around BBQ and a Rockets game.

    I've made pastrami before, but never with ribs...I will have to research this and give it a try.

    What he hell have you been eating for the last 35 years?

    Awesome to hear. I sold them their kitchen ventilation system. I had heard good things and I need to go in there and check it out.

    Big fan of Chappel Hill out on 290, it's a bit of a drive depending on where you stay, but I've never even had mediocre food there.
