"Tejas Chocolate Craftory, in the small city of Tomball about 40 minutes from downtown Houston, produces not only produces fantastic chocolate (from handcrafted truffles to chocolate bars), but also fabulous barbecue. Sink your teeth into all-natural prime brisket (smoked for 12 to 16 hours over post oak), pork belly, super-tender pork ribs, and beef short ribs; daily specials include beef pastrami ribs and a pastrami Reuben, both available on Thursdays. The house mole barbecue sauce is made with chocolate (of course), and totally worthwhile sides include carrot soufflé." - Charu Suri
