Barbecue, one of Texas’ most loved foods, is the best. Texas barbecue is available in many different variations, which can vary between regions. Texas barbecue can generally be divided into four regions: South Texas, East Texas West Texas, West Texas and West Texas. Barbecue is a popular choice in central Texas due to its high quality meat. It is also known as the best barbecue state-wide.

Central Texasans have a special fondness for barbecue. Lockhart, Taylor, Luling and Luling are home to some of the most renowned barbecue restaurants. Central Texas barbecue was first served in 1921. Central Texas barbecue originated in Germany, where it was first introduced to the region by settlers from Europe. During that time, meat markets offered cooked meat on butcherpapers.

These settlers set up meat markets. They used leftover meat to preserve it for future consumption. These leftover cuts of meat were usually pork and beef and were smoked over wood, mostly oak and pecan. The Anglo farmers who lived in the area adopted the name barbecue for the leftover cuts of meat.

Texas restaurants offer a unique experience for barbecue dinners. One way to order your Texas barbecue dinner is by getting a tray at the counter. Then, you load up the tray with the barbecue sauce and other side dishes. The meat is then served with slices of bread and, in most cases, chopped onions. The meat is usually cut right there, so you don’t have to wait. You can choose from brisket or sausage, pork ribs, beef and beef ribs as the most popular meats for a barbecue.

Central Texas has a tradition of valuing the quality of barbecue and the cuts it comes with. The sauces are viewed as side dishes while the focus is on what is being served. The meat is considered the ‘hero of the dish. All the other’sidekicks’ are not important. Central Texas barbecue is judged on three things: meat, flavor and tenderness.
