TMBBQ Fest 2018
The granddaddy of them all. The Texas Monthly BBQ Festival. It was the ninth edition of this meaty event. Last year, I manage to hit all 30 tents, but I had no plans to do the same thing this year. I just wanted to hang out and eat some great BBQ. A little photo recap of the day:
2M Smokehouse (San Antonio)
Baker Boys BBQ (Gonzales)
Bodacious on Mobberly (Longview)
Cattleack Barbeque (Dallas)
Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que (Llano)
Evie Mae's Barbecue (Wolfforth)
Flores Barbecue (Whitney)
Guess Family Barbecue (Waco)
Hays Co. Bar-B-Que and Catering (San Marcos)
Heim Barbecue & Catering
Hutchins BBQ McKinney
Killen's BBQ (Pearland)
Lockhart Smokehouse (Dallas)
Louie Mueller Barbecue (Taylor)
Micklethwait Craft Meats (Austin)
Miller's Smokehouse (Belton)
Pody's BBQ (Pecos)
Roegels Barbecue Co. (Houston)
Smolik's Smokehouse (Mathis)
Snow's BBQ (Lexington)
Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew (Austin)
Stillwater Barbeque (Abilene)
Tejas Chocolate & Barbecue (Tomball)
Top 5 BBQ (DeSoto)
Truth BBQ (Brenham)
Tyler's Barbeque (Amarillo)
Valentina's Tex Mex BBQ (Austin)
Missing from the pictures are la Barbecue, Stanley's Famous Pit Bar-B-Q, and Terry Black's Barbecue. They had run of food by the time I made it to their respective tents. I was not eating everywhere so I was able to get to all the tents under two hours. Flores and Guess were first timers and brought their A game. They both had fantastic bites. I enjoy going to the festival every year because it is like a big ole BBQ family reunion. It was great seeing everyone and "meating" new people.
Until next time, happy smoking...
