My grandfather was a Pitmaster in Nevada using mesquite wood as primary smoke fuel, and when he said at the end you gotta be a little stubborn to make it work it rang so true to me. The BBQ is the end result, and it's time consuming work, a lifestyle indeed. All the best wishes to him and his family!
This is one of the farthest-flung, sprawliest, strip-malliest neighborhoods in Houston (and that's saying something), but there are many excellent spots right around here. There's also "Perky Cups", which is basically Ojos Locos crossed with Starbucks -- it must be seen to be believed -- and there's a true mom-and-pop Thai place "Pranee" that absolutely bats in the big leagues.
“Wok stove burners generate high heat levels for rapid cooking, so a continuous flow of water is required to absorb this heat and stop the stove's surface from overheating.”
i play soccer at the fields in front this place all the time and go eat there after. delicious, the best food in houston is usually inside or right next to a gas station 💪🏽
I've been on a little journey on YT BBQ vids trying to learn to smoke meats better and i've seen just about every race now show a passion/drive to make some texas brisket/BBQ. each one adding something unique without taking from the core of american BBQ. food really does bring us all together lol.
