“Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors- It’s how you combine them that sets you apart.”-Wolfgang Puck
Tried and true and about as American as we can get is our love affair with barbeque. Or is it BBQ, Bar-b-que, barbecue, or even barbacoa? There are a variety of ways used to pronounce it, just as there are a variety of down-home family recipes passed from generation to generation ready to argue their barbecue is the best! Believe it or not, it also goes way beyond Texas. Although we Texans love to brag we have the best barbecue anywhere across the globe, the truth of the matter is scrumptious barbeque can be found in other states, each with their own unique style to it. Is it as renowned as, say, Black’s Barbecue in Lockhart, Franklin’s BBQ in Austin, or Truth BBQ in Brenham? Some would argue not, but one thing for sure is that everything is bigger in Texas, and good barbecue is a prime example.
