"Brenham native Hong Tran grew up around plenty of Hill Country barbecue goodness, and today, he shares his love of smoked meats with the public at his restaurant Brisket & Rice. Formerly an outpost of Church’s Chicken, this barbecue haunt with Asian flair is located inside a Philips 66 gas station in Northwest Houston, and serves up all of the staples: brisket, handmade sausage, slow smoked pulled pork, plus the restaurant’s signature brisket atop a bed of white rice." - Megha McSwain
