Texas Monthly was a great magazine 40 years ago, now they are just okay. The annual barbecue issue is pretty good. No one agrees with the results. Discussing Barbecue in Texas is like talking about theology in Rome.

Rudy’s is the best, no waiting for designer que plus you can buy gas and beer there also.

I had this very experience with a breakfast sandwich last week. I’m still grieving.

I would like to triple up-tick this. What sort of business thinks that they can use brioche buns, and proudly state it too, to workably contain a hot meal?

Couldn't agree more about brioche. Pure slop...and not the good kind.
