New School Barbecue across Texas is abundant to say the least. Countless folks are doing it extremely well as evidenced in the conversations we share in with every BBQ enthusiast we have the opportunity to prepare a tray for.

We couldn’t be more honored to be selected by @texashighways to represent Beaumont and all of SETX with our take on Barbecue. We’re perfectly at home baptizing our barbecue in our Cajun roots and your growing support each passing week signals to us we’re going the right way.

To our incredible staff, thank you for showing up every day. This is special.

Thank you @texashighways, truly. Less

Finally made it up to Waynesville NC to check out @bensbackdraftbbq1. When he's not putting fires out, Ben's stoking them in a big @tmg_pits offset plus a direct heat hog cooker. Beefy, thick-sliced brisket is solid, but that chopped pork with a generous dose of sweet vinegar sauce is the star (esp. with a generous forkful of that tangy white slaw).

And that Moonpie banana puddin'!

A visit to @bluehoundbarbecue, just across the NC line in Dillard, GA, has been on my to-do list for far too long, but no more! @pitmasterkylebryner is hard at work creating a distinctive Appalachian-style barbecue, and it starts with bang-up brisket and beef cheeks from just up the road at @brasstownbeef. The platters get a distinctive mountain spin with sides like Appalachian soup beans (delicious!), buttermilk slaw, and complementary chow chow.

They’re putting the smoke in the Smokey Mountains with some good real wood-cooking these days.

New wood-cooked whole hog barbecue joint alert! The Honey Hog in Morganton, North Carolina, opened in July. Cooking locally-sourced whole hog plus brisket, ribs, chicken and more on a pair of offsets named Paw Paw and Nannie. (No, really.)

It's pretty darn big operation, too, complete with a full bar and two dining porches. The Piedmont of NC and Texas collide with red slaw and hushpuppies alongside chavos beans and jalapeño cream corn.

Where I come from they'd call this Black & Blue London Broil "Pittsburgh rare." Dressed up with shio koji, brown butter, and tarragon at Kevin Smith's English gastropub Little Beast, it's called London Royale and it's a royal treat. So is duck breast, which also gets the seared-rare treatment. The scotched eggs and pig head nuggets are not pictured but should not be missed. If you go to @littlebeastballard, expect excellent cocktails, warm hospitality, and possibly meat sweats.
