14 reasons why Texas BBQ is just the worst

1. Making a booty call after a feast like this is off the table.

2. Because only the KFC bucket is the ultimate family feast. Right?

3. What’s with all the sides? Mac’n’Cheese, potato salad, beans, slaw…

4. It’s said if you eat enough you turn into half-man, half-beast.

Came across this old, weather worn buff skull while in Ngorongoro Crater, most likely from a lion kill. There’s a certain saying that comes to mind, you know the one…

5. They don’t mess around down in the Lone Star State. “No Kidding” OK?

No sauce, no forks, no kidding. #LockhartTX #KreuzMarket

8. Knowing where your meat comes from and the concept of farm-to-plate is simply unnecessary.

9. The idea that BBQ can go beyond half a cow just does not register.

10. The stand-alone, $100, back-garden, do-it-yourself, crappy BBQ is quite sufficient.

One of the highlights of this rainy weekend. #saltlick #driftwood #txbbq

11. It’s all about location, location, location.

Had a great weekend in Nocona, and got a few steps closer to my goal of having a permanent presence here. Been rubbing elbows with community leaders and visionaries here, and am gonna do my best to help put this place back on the map. Big things coming for my favorite little town in Texas.

12. It’s really tough to find a high-quality butcher in Texas.

13. Sharing an outdoor BBQ feast with friends and family is just the pits.

Made it back from Austin in time for a date with my lovely sister @mollysharpjewels, an amazing outdoor dinner on a farm hosted by @projectsnakefox. So nice to meet a bunch of other creatives in the DFW area. Salud!

14. Having Texas BBQ in your everyday diet must be detrimental to your health…right?
