While barbecue in other parts of the country focuses on pulled pork, ribs, or even sides, in Texas one menu item takes center stage — brisket. On this week’s Texas Wants to Know, we hear from pitmasters at two of the state’s top barbecue restaurants and the BBQ Editor at Texas Monthly, Daniel Vaughn.
Once known as an outlier in barbecued food, Texas now holds the crown as being the originator of brisket-focused barbecue restaurants., John Bates, explains how important brisket is to Texas culture.
"Texas barbecue is definitely built around a few key concepts," he said."It's very much driven by offset smokers. Our style is typically very low and slow with a lot of smoke and clean flavors going through the pits. It's also built on mostly brisket. It's definitely the most important item in all Texas barbecue."in Spring, Will Buckman, discusses why he left his career in communications to open the restaurant.
"I was spending a lot of time out in the driveway cooking these things for free to share with friends and family," Buckman said."It wasn't until my wife stepped in because she was fighting for my time that said, you know, you should really be charging for these efforts."
