The folks over at D Magazine have just released their February issue which features the top 16 BBQ joints in the DFW area. I know a little about the list, because I wrote the article. I urge you to pick up your very own copy, as it's available in newstands today. The pictures are incredible (not my own), and the writing is, well, not too bad either. I hope you enjoy it, but I welcome any comments, positive or negative.
I loved the article, Daniel. Dare I say, that style of writing is different than your "normal" style (on this blog) and really suits you! Thanks for providing us with great insight and for your labor of love.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment. It really changes things when you can spend 3 months researching and writing and revising several drafts for one cohesive piece rather than churning out 3 or 4 reviews per week. It was a really rewarding challenge.
ReplyDeleteVisited Off the Bone BBQ today in Forest Hills. Showed them my copy of D. They hadnt seen it yet. Eddie and Marilyn thanked me profusely for the visit and showing them the mag. I would have given it to them, but I havent read it yet. I had the pork ribs. Pretty darn good!!! Reminded me of Loui Muellers in Taylor. BBQDADDY
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing this article, it is refeshing to see a best of dallas BBQ list that doesn't include the usual names.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I know its a chain, but I visited Rudy's in Frisco and thought it was the quite good.
Great article and congrats. It is so good to see some of these places listed instead of the same old boring list. I have been to most of these places, and they deserve to be rewarded for their products instead of being in the shadow.
ReplyDeleteBTW...Have you ever thought about doing a FCG-BBQ meetup?
ReplyDeleteGood stuff. Recently changed careers that will put me on the road all over the DFW. Mapping the top 16 into my GPS. Great article and thanks for the "sacrifice".
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing this article. I bought the issue last Friday, and Saturday afternoon went to Meshack's in Garland. I arrived at the same time as another gentleman who had read the article. You have helped alert BBQ lovers in the city to some great food. I had the brisket from Meshack's; it was the best I've ever had.
ReplyDeletegreat job! congratulations
