    Where did you get those mud bugs?

    I was in Galveston then back in town for kickball playoffs. Got runner up. Drinks and crawfish at Wakefield Crowbar after. Beautiful Houston day.

    As expected the We Are One Festival is begging people to buy tickets on social media. Prices have all been dropped.

    I might get VIP the day before for cheap just to check it out.

    What mods are active that can add people? Was JY really the only Texas board mod? Seems like that should change since he’s gone.

    I think the truth sides are better than their meat

    and their meat is pretty solid

    I like pinkertons the most

    Pinkertons is really good.
    Pizzitola’s hits the spot.
    Pit Room was good.
    Truth is good.
    I need to try Blood Bro I just saw they were on Top Chef.

    A buddy of mine says they have some of the best chicken tacos in the city. I’ve never tried but he’s a bit of a grill mater himself so I believe him.

    I think they stop serving them at 10:30

    their bacon egg and cheese is better than the brisket and egg

    they have incredible bacon

    Your buddy is correct, and they actually have the best chicken tacos in the city, not some of the best ;)

    One of my bbq buddies thinks the spring branch location has the best fries in the city of all things, while the spring branch location has a more diverse menu than Greenway. But I work in Greenway, so i lean to that location of course and have yet to make it to SB.

    And Patrick Feges' wife Erin actually won an episode of Chopped years ago in case y'all have ever heard of that show; she was handling all of the sides at the Greenway location when they first opened, not sure if still in charge of that at one or both locations. Either way, they're both great people

    Are you still working on northwest part of town like you previously told me? If so, you need to hit up CorkScrew in Spring and Tejas in Tomball, while you should also get a chicken fried steak from Hickory Hollow at some point, but i will disown you if you go there for bbq with so many other good spots around.

    https://www.corkscreworders.com/about

    https://www.tejaschocolate.com/

    https://hickoryhollow.com/

    And then if you venture into town, all of the other options mentioned above are worth trying, my favorites being Truth, Pit Room, Feges, Gatlins, Pinkertons, etc., each for their own reasons. I don't hit up Pizzitola's much anymore due to better options around, while we all grew up on Goode Co (and can always taste their sauce and pies) but don't hit that up much anymore either despite being one of most convenient.

    We did some of the zoom virtual cooking classes with Patrick and Erin during the pandemic. They're great, and the food they helped you cooked was badass.

    Pretty sure you have to post pics of yourself eating either whataburger or BBQ with your username written on something in the picture to get access

    Or just send a dick pick to GoodForAnother
