The Northwest Side food truck serves delicious smoked meats including tender brisket, pulled pork and turkey.
Most days, at the corner of King Avenue and Kenny Road, you'll find the Texas Steele BBQ food truck. Owner Akil Steele talks about his love for barbecue while unveiling racks of ribs.As he told me in recent phone interviews, despite weather so cold then that Steele “nearly froze half to death,” he made the brave decision — some would say crazy decision — to open his Texas Steele BBQ food trailer. Steele’s decision would pay off with new fans.
If you think this sounds like a guy who might be afraid of heights but would still get married in a hot air balloon, you’d be right. You’d also be right if you think an odds-battling guy like Steele could learn to prepare barbecue in the style of the most revered smoked-meat purveyor in Texas.— an operation so famous that Barack Obama and Anthony Bourdain made high-profile visits to it.
Steele’s brisket wasn’t quite as succulent on a different visit — variability isn’t uncommon among most barbecue vendors in my experience — but it tasted great. Ditto for his locally uncommon beef ribs . Bargains abound and you needn't buy meats by the pound. The “priciest” sandwich on the small menu is only $11, and it has brisket, sausage, coleslaw, pickles and cheese. The “4 corner sampler” is a meat-only $15 “Tex Plate” grand slam with brisket, pulled pork, smoked turkey and beef ribs.
