I am from BC, Canada and we are just starting to get Texas BBQ up here and it is out of this world. I never really cared for sausage but after trying the Texas bbq style it is now one of my favourite things. Of course the brisket and ribs are amazing too, and the sides.
When the show lets us enjoy them just being themselves, like when the camera panned to Joe making a face when Harry was distracted by the football game and when Harry was just randomly showing off his texas accent, is what makes them so fun to watch
My Dad loved smoking Briskets, burgers, pork, and turkey. We lost him in 2016. I'd give anything to be sitting with him watching the smoker, fire in the pit, and hot coffee and a conversation and a hug. Anything to here his voice one more time and have that moment again.
Goldee’s is genuinely some of the best food I’ve ever had, their Brisket always sell out and for good reason. It damn near made me cry, also unquestionably the best Turkey you will ever have.
First time there, I got the brisket sandwich and couldn't finish. I was worried the bread would get soggy by the time I was hungry again, but it never did. I'm going to have to go back this weekend because now I'm craving the brisket. I just hate getting there early and waiting lol
When he said I think our crew want to dine in on this before we leave , I respect that alot , I thought they didn't get to taste these delicious meals ahah nice job batman and Robin
My cousin was a vegetarian for years until she came back to Texas, so you may change your mind after you've tried Texas BBQ. The brisket done right is one of the greatest foods on earth.
When Joe said 'Wow they got two in one game' you know he's been following England at the Euro's, Either that or Harry's been talking his ear off. Southgate and his allergy to having his team score more than one goal.
Watching Harry and Joe reminds me of being a liaison officer for British officers touring US bases in the late 90s. 9 states and we are every regional food there was to be had Cajun and Texas BBQ was the favorites
Re. "globally", the current England/US formula works because they are trying local outlets that they know (or know of), and because it's from their native cuisine. Not sure how successful it would be if they raved about places in, say, Brazil or Vietnam? I'd still watch of course.
Joe - "I feel like I'm learning about sausage through you, a country where people eat sausage a lot". Harry - "I'm taking you to Germany next, it's one of those 12 countries in Europe".
Great series. Both of you have developed chemistry that is enjoyable to watch. This episode was much better because you broke it up into multiple days so you could actually sit down and enjoy the food. Need to do this more often
I totally agree… but I’d go a step further and say Lockhart is overrated… the brisket there is good for a chain restaurant but it doesn’t come close to the best places… and that plain sausage is trash… I almost spit my bite out when I tried it
Fun fact, Panther City BBQ is named after Fort Worth. Back in 1875 there was an article written about Fort Worth in the Dallas Daily Herald that said “Fort Worth was so slow and quiet that he saw a panther sleeping in the street by the courthouse” The article was supposed to trash Fort Worth, but instead, the city embraced the panther as a sign of strength and hope. Panther City BBQ is definitely one our favorites
Everything tastes better on the house-made bread at Goldee's. I love their barbecue and the people who own it/run it. I'm also a big fan of Panther City. Next time check out Hurtado in Arlington or Dayne's or Zavala's in Grand Prairie. So many great places in the DFW area. Or try Smoke 'N Ash for Tex-Ethiopian BBQ in Arlington.
20 years in Houston I've enjoyed Texas BBQ from there, Lockhart, Austin, San Antonio, DFW and more..... it's all soooooooo delicious! Big props to TX BBQ
Jesus, this has made my mouth water! My first real experience of Texas BBQ a few years ago was Franklin's in Austin, an unforgettable experience of flavour and vibes!!
Oddly, although Kreuz Market in Lockhart sort of started the "Why don't we have sauce? Because ain't got nothin' to hide" idea, they have the weakest bark flavor of any Central Texas BBQ joint I went to. But that does not mean that the brisket was bad. It was very good, but could use sauce. Louie Mueller in Taylor was the pinnacle of no sauce needed brisket IMO. Loving this series.
Goldees is so incredible. The brisket texture reminds me of a warm marshmallow...its perfect. When we were there we watched a table of TCU frat guys devour a whole, unsliced brisket, with plastic forks and knives. It was glorius.
Glad to see you boys hitting Panther City AND Lockhart. I do think you seriously missed out on visiting Pecan Lodge in Deep Ellum. Elsewise excelllent!
I don't think I have ever seen Goldees that empty before. As someone who's been there twenty plus times, seeing them in there by themselves absolutely blows my mind.
Finally Texas episode! I love how Harry is becoming more and more Americanized. You can never have too much BBQ. Everyone has amazing brisket, but that last one, you can “smell” that brisket from the screen. Great commentary and awesome job! 🥩 👏 😋
I've been to Smokey Joes and Lockharts. Smokey Joes deserves highlights. Dallas magazine tends to promote people that beg to have their businesses in a magazine. Smokey Joes is organically promoted. ❤
Love you guys. Also, last I checked, Houston was the 4th most populated city in the US, after NYC, LA, and Chicago. Dallas is number 9. Even combined w/ FW's population, DFW would be behind Houston.
Harry distracted by soccer or football one day. Pokémon Go! the next. While being privately catered to at Goldee’s, one of the most renowned BBQ joints in the world. Never change my man!
Man, this is crazy. I appreciate they went to Panther City, I live down the street and walk there. The food is fantastic, happy they had the elote bowl too.
I am one of the defenders of British food, you can find good burgers here, good pizza maybe and other ethnic cuisines but one thing we definitely can’t do is good BBQ food. We definitely suck at that (and Mexican), and that pains me as I love it so much. Maybe we can partially blame the climate and the lack of the whole culture around a BBQ, but still. Finding some good ribs for instance in the UK is a hard task
Two things I will find a way to do.... the very best ramen and sushi in Japan, and the very best bbq in Texas. These shows help immensely in finding a starting point.
Boudin sausage, pronounced "boo-dan", is a Cajun sausage loved in Texas by way of Louisiana. It does not have blood in it. It's mostly meat and rice. Hope you enjoyed it!
I thought that this episode would drop on a Sunday but I'm here for Harry and Joe to explore Texas barbecue on a Friday evening! Now I'm really anticipating part 2!
Food looks delicious, but those prices are eye-watering. I used to marvel at how cheap food was when I went to the States but now it's apparently more expensive than Switzerland.
❤ the show that "blood sausage," is boudin. Boo-danh maybe pronunciation its truly what some of us Cajuns eat for breakfast. Normally not bbq r smoked although that is great but it's normally steamed. It's basically intestine stuffed w dirty rice. Rice liver and many other n different things. Boudin balls are fried sometimes stuffed w pepper jack cheese. My preference baked n the oven until casing is crispy.
