My wife has declared February as "Heart Healthy Month", basically as a way to get keep me from eating BBQ in February. While I've slipped up at the beginning of the month at James Brown Backyard BBQ (it was brand new, so what was I to do), I've mostly held up my end of the bargain. Now you'll still see new reviews being posted, all of which are from a positively gluttonous January, but I must wait until March for any new visits. I know many of you are thinking that it's not much of a feat to go a single month without enjoying brisket or ribs of any sort, but I've been eating BBQ an average of three times per week over the last two years, so a whole month is a lot to endure.
How will I cope? Cured meats. The beauty of salami, chorizo and bacon have never been lost on this palette, but now these meats collectively have become my smokeless crutch. Over the next few weeks you'll continue to see new BBQ reviews, but in addition you'll also see some reviews of the finest sausages and bacon that DFW has to offer. I hope you'll enjoy this new angle, and relish in the irony of turning to salami during "Heart Healthy Month".

Order some Maui jerky from Celestino's on your hiatus -- it was my local butcher from when I lived out West. As a testament to how good their product is, my ladyfriend who is also sick of barbecue was pumped when I just gave her four pounds of this jerky for Valentines Day. If that's not true love I don't know what is. It's rather pricey (although I'm not sure what the street value for jerky is by the pound), but you pay a premium for the quality.
