The Real Thing - BBQ at its best! A road trip in pictures showcasing the land, people, and barbecues, along with the best recipes from the East, West, and Central Texas for the best BBQ in the world! The most important ingredient for a proper BBQ is time, as the cooking is done slowly at lower temperatures rather than quickly at high heat. This is why the meat remains juicy during BBQ, doesn't dry out, and cuts that would be tough with quick preparation become tender. Not to mention the unmistakable smoky flavor. Jonas Cramby, a freelance writer and blogger, has fulfilled a dream by embarking on a road trip with his whole family through Texas: he brought back many atmospheric pictures and the best recipes from across the state, such as for Pulled Pork, Smoked Chicken Wings, Beef Sandwiches, Ribs, or Mexican Hotdogueros.
