The new Texas barbecue rules

Eat Drink D-FW

The Eat Drink D-FW team sits down with Texas Monthly’s Barbecue Editor Daniel Vaughn at Brix Barbecue in Fort Worth to talk about the state of smoked meats. Vaughn dishes on how Texas-style barbecue has influenced a brisket boom across the country, but how it’s now evolving with more influence from immigrant cuisines like Mexican, Vietnamese and Ethiopian. Texas pitmasters aren’t afraid to break the “rules” now, either, by showcasing whole hog, wine lists and more. Listen as Vaughn also shares his favorite new spots, how much meat he eats in a week, and why being a barbecue editor is sometimes more about the people than the food.
