The Best Barbecue in Austin

"This food truck from chef Kareem El-Ghayesh and his innovative fusion of Texan BBQ with traditional Egyptian flavors finally arrived in the summer of 2022 after a series of wildly popular pop-ups all over town. KG BBQ's popularity is seriously on the rise, because it ticks the two most important boxes—it's different, and it's delicious. The Mediterranean rice bowl brisket is the headline act: perfectly smoked brisket served with fragrant rice, garden salad, candied nuts, and pomegranate seeds. The menu also contains a number of lamb options, including incredible lamb-bacon ribs which fall off the bone. There are a handful of well-maintained outdoor tables to eat at, but come early if you want to guarantee a spot. It's a genuine game changer, with a carefully thought-out, uniquely delicious menu." - Jonathan Thompson
