I want to know how many points his cholesterol spiked during that time.

I had BBQ at Heavys in Hondo today. Texas monthly is fake news for not listing him.

I was chatting with some guys while in line at Truth BBQ last Friday and they are under the impression as to get to the Top 50 let alone top 5; you have to pay to play.

This deal just started about a month ago. Forget his cholesterol spike, the guy (my hat's off to him haha) is probably dead! He literally had to eat at more than one bbq joint a day for a month. Ever seen the movie supersize me?

Heck technically all he had to do was eat there right, not like it said you had to order a minimum of food?

I have been told from someone whom I would think would be "in the know" and they said the same thing

I have friends who were a part of the team who put the list together. Why spend 6 months and endless hours researching and eating bad bbq when all you have to do is make a sales call? Now do I believe some places in Houston and Austin might have been left out so a region of Texas would have a join on the list? Yes I do.

At some point I have eaten at 30 of the Top 50 joints. Only once have I said WTF is this doing on the list.

Most peeps who rate them joints like lots of smoke and salt.

I dont. I need to taste the meat.

I accept the challenge of trying every joint on the top 50. Might take some time but I can do this.

I am not from Texas, but my family was. I hear a lot about " the salt lick " but it didn't even make the list.

Is it legit ?

Better than average, but I wouldn't got out of my way to eat there. The draw is the atmosphere rather than the meat in my opinion. Much better options in the area.

I agree 100% with this statement.

I'm with Beav.....easy on the salt, easy on the smoke, NO SAUCE!

I've stopped at BBQ on the Brazos twice now at breakfast time and had the brisket breakfast tacos. Not bad but better get a fork because the tortillas fall apart. A little too much grease to work properly.
