Taylor Cafe & Vencil Mares on Chevy commercial

You've probably seen the Chevy "A man. A man and his truck. A man, his truck, and..." commercials. Well, Chevy has a new one (Romance) for that Super Bowl in which Vencil Mares and his Taylor Cafe make an appearance. He's sitting in his chair, all still and quiet, as usual. Hat tip to @naizer, who sent me the video via Twitter last night.

Grand Re-Opening this Saturday at Hays Co. Bar-B-Que (San Marcos, TX)

As you might know from this blog or elsewhere, Hays Co. Bar-B-Que recently left its location on Hunter Road for a spot on the Southbound I-35 frontage road (1612 S. IH 35). This Saturday, they're hosting a grand re-opening. From 11AM-10PM, you can enjoy the regular menu, with various food & drink specials, along with live music. The headliner is Marty White with Blue Clear Sky, a George Strait cover band.

Speaking of Hays Co., our February public Texas Q Tours trip is stopping there. On Feb 22, we head to Hays Co. Bar-B-Que, Black's Barbecue, Root Cellar Cafe (drinks), & Centerpoint Station (desserts). If you'd like an all-inclusive seat, our Mix-&-Match promotion gets you $35 off the trip! Instead of $125, tickets via the promotion are just $90! And if you book 2 more tickets, we offer another deal (Email to inquire.) More trip info. 

Full Moon dinner party!

While I was home in Alabama earlier this month, 1 of my 3 meals from Full Moon Bar-B-Que was a spread for a dinner party. Chopped pork, pulled chicken, turkey, chow chow, macaroni & cheese, squash casserole, baked beans, carrot cake, half-moon cookies, etc.

Texas BBQ Wannabe: 95

95. Bubba's Texas Style Bar-B-Que & Saloon (2 locations in Sanghai, China) - "There are very few people in Texas who'll agree on exactly what defines Texas-style bar-b-que. Many will say we are a State of beef eaters, which is true, but we also cook a lot of pork, chicken, cabrito, fish, and sausage. Some will say “it’s not Texas bar-b-que if it has sauce on it,” while many others love to wet down a rack of ribs while they’re still smoking on the pit. One thing is for sure: we love our bar-b-que….we love to argue about it, we love to cook it, we love to perfect it, we love to compete with it, and most of all, we love to eat it. What makes Texas bar-b-que different from bar-b-que in other states? Not much really, other than state lines, pride, and the various cuts of meat and sauce style that is more popular from one area to another. One other thing, however, is for sure: most bar-b-que “aficionados” will agree that steaks, hamburgers and hotdogs cooked over a gas grill are not bar-b-que. Authentic American-style bar-b-que is cooked “low and slow” using real wood to tenderize and impart a very unique flavor to all types of meat. This is a flavor and experience you won't soon forget!"

Austin Chronicle's inaugural Invitational BBQ Beef Rib Smackdown

Earlier this month, the Austin Chronicle held its inaugural Invitational BBQ Beef Rib Smackdown. I was graciously invited to judge but was out of town that day, so Man Upper Todd Plunk stepped in and reaped the juice, salty benefits. Soon, I'll post Todd's thoughts on the event, along with some pictures he took. Read all about the contest and learn more about beef ribs. Of all of the contestants, whose beef ribs do you like most?

1st tour of the year!

Rise & shine! Today, we're off on our 1st public Texas Q Tours trip of 2014. Today's stops will be for BBQ at Snow's (Lexington) and at Louie Mueller (Taylor), for drinks at El Monumento (Georgetown), and for dessert at Monument Cafe (Georgetown). You can follow our trip via Twitter: @ManUpTexasBBQ and @TexasQTours.

If you'd like to come with us on a future trip, we'd love that! We have scheduled public tours for February 22 and March 22, with more to come.  

Texas BBQ Wannabe: 94

94. Texas Stockyards BBQ (Lady Lake, Florida) - "Texas Stockyards BBQ goes beyond the average and goes the extra mile to create an art form that instills flavor and tenderness that brings the true taste of Texas. It has taken us  years of trial and error to perfect our flavors and techniques. We started are journey in putting our brand on BBQ in a small town in Texas outside of Houston. Our first BBQ came out of a trailer that was parked in front of a gas station. We sold an avg. of 1000lbs. a week and perfected our Texas style brand. The key to a true Texas style BBQ is the seasoning, rubs and mop sauces. The number one key ingredient to Texas BBQ is patience because to bring the flavor and tenderness you must cook with a hard wood indirect smoke and heat away from the meat at a slow and low temperature. We cook with temperatures of 160F to 190F. Some of the meats can take up to 16 to 18 hours. With true Texas style BBQ you look for that reddish red ring that naturally develops around the edge of the meat from the smoke during the cooking process. We never introduce anything but wood to any of our meats. That means we don't use gas, electric, and or wood chips.  So the next time you have some good ole BBQ check to see if it was cooked the Texas way."
