How much is too much for brisket? With wholesale prices climbing, Texas pitmasters are feeling the squeeze. Some top barbecue joints are now charging $40+ per pound, while others are finding creative ways to keep prices down. bit.ly/466hjai

ATTENTION !!!! We are having to do some repairs under the parking lot. The entrance on Voss between us and Tacos a GO GO is closed off. Use the entrance South of the Tacos building or the back entrance on Del Monte. We are open though and would REALLY love to see you here !!!
REMINDER! A message from Colleen Buchanan:
Please join us as we celebrate the life of Jim Buchanan on August 31, 4-6pm at J-Bar-M Barbecue. This won't be a formal service, but simply an afternoon to reconnect, share memories, tell stories, laugh, and cry.
The real ones know that when you're in a time crunch but craving 'Q the only real option is a fold-over. White bread, brisket, pickles, onions, and a splash of sauce. This one from @PinkertonsBBQ & @GPinks at the 2026 #HOUBBQ Festival did the trick.

You'll get both stepping up to the booth where @jordanrosemeyer @thebrisketginger & the whole @rosemeyerbarbq team dish out the best that the #HOUBBQ Festival has to offer. And go see them at their trailer in Spring - a true taste of Texas BBQ.
International flavor in Central Texas-style barbecue is one of the biggest and best trends nowadays. And it all started @BloodBrosBBQ. Always honored to have them at the #HOUBBQ Fest! @djseek
Always great having Melissa & Logan from Space City BBQ at the #HOUBBQ Festival. Go see them in Baytown!
