View this post on InstagramTexas BBQ is flourishing. The rate at which great new joints are opening is staggering. Our next top 50 list won’t come until 2021, but we just couldn’t wait to tell you about our favorite new joints. Enter @bbqsnob’s Top 25 BBQ midterm report. There has never been a simple definition of Texas barbecue, but now things are getting even more complex. Pitmasters are enlivening their menus with ingredients and cooking styles from all over the world. New spots in the Austin area are serving brisket banh mi, barbecue gumbo, and kimchi instead of pickles, and a single joint in Houston does all those and more. Moroccan-style carrots and Armenian coffee share the stage with Tex-Mex touches like pico de gallo sausage, barbacoa, and elotes. But don’t worry—we haven't forgotten about the brisket. Hit the link in our bio to see the full list of the joints we think you absolutely must try, and let us know what you think in the comments.
