In response to the recent plague of disgustingly healthy threads about fruits and vegetables (aka sucker food), meaties need to unite. There are many BBQ joints that I have not yet had the pleasure of visiting, but it is rare that there is a decent BBQ joint in Houston that I have not heard of. But Robb Walsh finds them. Check out Robb's article in the Houston Press on Thelma's. http://www.houstonpress.com/issues/2002-07-11/cafe.html/1/index.html While on the subject, I will pass along a recent (to me) BBQ discovery. Hunger pangs struck about half way through the numbingly boring drive from Houston to SA. I couldn't resist the lure of Flatonia where I stopped in at Joel's (has there ever been a worse name for a BBQ joint?). Its an appropriately run down shack on the feeder road on the north side of I-10. Been there some 30 years. Cowboy style. Brisket and sausage (homemade) were both very good. Sandwiches were served on white bread, no fancy buns. They had homemade jerky, but I didn't get any. I didn't have no stinkin' fruits or vegetables, so don't ask. Next up, fried catfish thread.
Williams Brothers Smokehouse, in Acres Homes. Best pork ribs in H-town, I'm tellin' ya! My waistline never lies....
Is that the one with the all you can eat beef ribs special on Tuesday or Wednesday??? ROADTRIP!!!!!!!!!!
Harris County Smokehouse on 1960 near 290. Damn good pulled pork, ribs, lean brisket, delicious sides, self serve drinks and free bread!
JJJ's Its just off of 610 North, but damn if I didn't forget the exit. Somewhere past 59 goin East. Maybe, Jenson. I think thats it.
