It's been a while since I talked food on here. But I'm back with a food post well worth it.
When people think Texas, barbecue almost quickly comes to mind when thinking about food. And not to stereotype but most of your barbecue joints are either run by some guy in a cowboy hat or a black man. You can often tell what you are getting just by looking at the cook. And that's why Pit Stop BBQ in Temple, Texas is a mindboggler.
The place is small and if you don't know the town of Temple, it's not too easy to get to. Fortunately it's not too difficult either.
Walk in the door and you are greeted not by a cowboy or a black man. Here you are greeted by a Korean woman. And it doesn't take you long to realize this woman is great. She is friendly and makes sure you feel welcome.
And her Pit Stop BBQ has a rule: Try it before you buy it. And she will make sure you do. Even if you know you want ribs, and order rids, she grabs some brisket and sausage and gives you samples.
I'm not going to say it's the best barbecue in Texas, but so far it's the best in this area. I've tried all three meats and none have disappointed. My favorite so far is the ribs. She even says they don't need sauce, puts some in a cup just in case, and then when you try them you realize she's right, no sauce needed. The flavor stands alone.
As if it isn't strange enough to get barbecue from a Korean woman, one of the best dishes Pit Stop Barbecue served is chicken jambalaya.
That's right, go to a Texas barbecue joint, get served by a Korean woman and order a Louisiana specialty.
What a great place.
The photo attached is a little older. The items are the same, but the prices aren't though not much off, and the address is now 502 South1st Street.
