A North Carolina barbecue lover drove from Dallas and Fort Worth to Austin, Lockhart and north of San Antonio. His best brisket, ribs, surprises.
Let’s get this out of the way: I live in North Carolina. I’ve had some excellent barbecue here, both pork and beef. I also had great barbecue in Alabama when I lived there, and in Missouri before that. So, if you’re looking for a my-place-is-the-best-place-for-cue thing today, this isn’t it. I mean, we like what we like, right? If some combination of salt and pepper and maybe nostalgia gets your barbecue heart thumping, good on you no matter where you live.
Maybe that memory is part of what makes Mueller’s my favorite, still. Our favorite meals are often about more than just the food — although in Texas, the food from the smoker does just fine on its own.
