Authentic Texas BBQ For Your Dining Pleasure

By Essie Osborn


If you are looking for truly satisfying regional foods, look no further than the big state of Texas. The Texas BBQ establishments will have some of the most mouth-watering and satisfying foods available. You won't be able to find many of these food items in any other state - at least the flavor won't match these casual and delicious dishes. The many regions of this illustrious state all have their own specialties but many of the basics stay the same.

The meats that these restaurants offer include pork loin, pork ribs, beef ribs, sausage, chicken, brisket, turkey legs, and more. They are all slow-cooked and often smoked over specialty wood chips for a distinctive and lasting flavor. The result is meat so tender that you can cut it with a fork. Customers can purchase just enough to eat at the location or buy in bulk to they can take it home for future meals and parties.

Many food outlets have their own special brand of barbecue sauce. They may bottle it with their own distinct label and sell it to customers as they pay for their food. It is also served exclusively at that particular location.

There is a wide variety of side dishes served with these meats. They can include corn on the cob, creamed corn, potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw and more. They are usually also available in to go containers of single serving, pint and quart sizes for delicious and easy at-home or office meals. Condiments include the barbecue sauce, hot sauce, ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions, and white bread slices.

Choices of cold beverages can include bottled and canned sodas, lemonade, sweet iced tea, long necks and a variety of canned beer. They are often displayed in ice-filled galvanized containers for easy access. Desserts may include fruit pies, cobblers, brownies or iced cream for adults and children alike.

Some of these popular food stops are indoor restaurants with rustic tables and chairs. Others may be just a stand with outside picnic tables. Don't expect anything fancy. The plates, glasses, flatware and napkins are all paper and plastic. A roll of paper towels in the middle of each table is often standard at these places. Takeout is extremely popular for this type of food and many also offer casual catering for local parties and events.

There are also many restaurant chains based on this concept. Some of them grew from tiny, local businesses into million dollar franchises. Many hole-in-the-wall sites are very popular in the areas they are located and customers will flock to the restaurant to enjoy their special fare. While traveling, ask towns people for their suggestions as to the best location to visit.

If you are seeking foods that are unique to Texas and taste good, look no further than one of these food outlets. It will not be a disappointing experience and absolutely no one will go home with an empty stomach. Take home enough meat for later in the day or the next day - these items are wonderful leftovers to enjoy as sandwiches or between-meals snacks.
