A week ago @TexasMonthly released their Top 50 BBQ Joints in Texas list for 2021. It only comes out every four years. There is no comparable ranking in the #bbq business or restaurant industry. Michelin stars and James Beard awards are given annually.
Other “Best of” lists are compiled by a single critic. This list is painstakingly researched, tested, and edited by a staff that take their jobs just as seriously as the folks they’re evaluating.
