"Thank your lucky lone star that this former food truck turned restaurant and its Central Texas-style low-and-slow brisket exists. Sacramento natives Ryan Metzger and Tony Nguyen use coast live oak and an offset smoker to give their meats a well-balanced, smokey richness that seamlessly pairs with the bracing do chua (pickled carrots and daikon) on the Vietnamese-inspired beef-cheek pastrami banh mi. Don’t miss out on the dino beef ribs on the weekends. This is the best barbecue in Sacramento, period." - Illyanna Maisonet
