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 of these venues have their own tasty version of barbecue sauce. It is especially made to go with their food offerings and is complete with their logo. It is usually displayed at a check-out counter as guests pay for their items. The bottles make great gifts or souvenirs to take home along with dinner or leftovers. The same sauce is consistently served with the meats at the restaurant.

Side dishes can be just as tempting as the meats. Creamed corn, coleslaw, potato salad, whole dill pickles and baked beans are just a few of the many favorites that are usually offered. A variety of servings such as single servings, pints, and quarts are usually available for on-site and takeout dining. Accompaniments usually include the barbecue sauce, white bread slices, ketchup, hot sauce and mustard.

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.

Customers should not expect anything fancy when they eat at these restaurants. Plastic and paper cups, plates, flatware and napkins are the norm. One can expect to find the requisite roll of paper towels in the middle of each guest table for easy access. Takeout is readily available in Styrofoam or plastic containers for quick and easy meals at home. Many of these venues also offer casual catering options for their loyal customers' parties and other 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.
