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.

Meats found at these south central stores include brisket, turkey, chicken, beef and pork ribs, sausage, and pork loin. The cuts are slow-cooked at the restaurant, often right in front of customers. The final results are very tender and appetizing. It is often sold by the pound so servings are geared to the individuals who are making the food purchases and allow for leftovers at the end of the meal.

Some businesses even offer their own version of a distinct barbecue sauce. It may be bottled with their own logo and offered for sale to customers as they pay for their selected food items. It makes a great gift or souvenir to take back home with you. It is also served with any foods that are purchased.

There is a wide variety of side dishes served with these meats. They can include corn on the cob, creamed corn, potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw and more. They are usually also available in to go containers of single serving, pint and quart sizes for delicious and easy at-home or office meals. Condiments include the barbecue sauce, hot sauce, ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions, and white bread slices.

To quench the thirst of guests, a variety of beverages is usually offered. These include canned and bottled sodas, lemonade, iced tea, long necks and canned beer. They are often enticingly displayed in galvanized tubs of ice. Adults and children alike can enjoy specialty desserts such as brownies, cobbler, pies, or ice cream with their meal.

Restaurants that offer this casual fare can be an indoor establishment with rustic tables and booths or just a stand with a patio and outdoor seating. Don't expect real flatware and dishes. Paper plates, plastic cups, plastic forks, knives and spoons are the norm as well as the requisite roll of paper towels in the middle of the tables to wipe sticky hands with. Most of these businesses also have extensive takeout services for easy, at home meals. More well-known venues will even offer catering services to their customers for a very reasonable fee.

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 searching for the perfect regional meal, look no further. These restaurants will make sure no one walks out of their doors hungry. Many customers will purchase extra just to make sure they have enough of this great food to last them for a few more days.
