You may have heard that Leslie Brenner of the Dallas Morning News is not a fan of Lockhart Smokehouse. She gave it a single star in a recent review, and the folks at LS responded with a few choice specials on the day the review came out in the paper. I went for lunch the day before to enjoy some great brisket and the best rib I've had there since it opened.
I also picked up some of their Rib Jam, which was also enjoyed by CraveDFW. This concoction of rib ends, brown sugar, blackberries and spices was great spread on a cracker, and even better on a breakfast taco the next morning.
Outside of town, Buzzie's BBQ in Kerrville is expanding. After winning best brisket in the Texas Monthly BBQ Festival people's choice award, they'll open a location in Houston soon.
Gustavo Arellano laughs at us Texans for our excitement over In-N-Out burger since California was so quick to run Dickey's out of the state. I'll save any negative Dickey's comments a rest on this day given the sad news from the weekend.
Travis (TD) Dickey Jr., son of Dickey's founder, passed away . TD has run Dickey's with his brother Roland since the 60's, and he'll be missed by the BBQ community.
