Hello A-J readers!
Barbecue, spice and other nice business news made headlines this week, so let’s dive right in.
Just in time for the weekend, Texas Monthly released its Top 50 Best BBQ Joints list, and an additional 50 honorable mentions. Across the two lists, four area eateries made the list, with one cracking the top 10.
- Evie Mae’s BBQ, 217 US-62 in Wolfforth, earned the 10th spot, continuing its streak of being in the list.
- Rejino Barbeque, 609 7th St. in Olton, made the top 50 for smoked jalapeno poppers, banana pudding and top-notch quality brisket.
- Jimenez y Friends, 4606 34th St. in Lubbock, accepted an honorable mention for the brisket-and-egg taco, barbacoa and “addictive” Big Red barbecue sauce.
- Pitforks & Smokerings BBQ, 1808 US 84 E in Slaton, made the honorable mentions list for its smoked turkey and pork ribs.
Congratulations to these four restaurants. If you haven’t been, you should make the trip…
