Monk: In the following video, YouTuber Joshua Weissman is joined by private chef/Instagram star (and new Texas resident) Olivia Tiedemann on a journey to try the best barbecue in Texas, all of which are on Texas Monthly’s Top 50 list and four of which received Michelin stars last year (CorkScrew BBQ in Spring and Interstellar Barbecue, La Barbecue, and LeRoy and Lewis in Austin).
Joshua and Olivia visit 17 joints in total and rated each one and slotted them onto a big board as they go for both brisket and sides. Starting in Houston, they then make their way to Austin before heading Central Texas, the panhandle, and eventually DFW. Your favorite barbecue editor even makes an appearance at the end of the video.
What was their favorite and did it match up with Texas Monthly’s #1? Check the video to find out.
