"Given that it is Austin, there are a lot of barbecue restaurants in town, with some of them on this map. This MLK smoked meat truck from pitmaster Kareem El-Ghayesh stands out because of the incredible Egyptian-Texan menu. Smoke works well for both cuisines, which makes it even better when combined into dishes like pork ribs glazed with pomegranate seeds and za’atar, kebabs, and turmeric rice studded with brisket and tahini. Takeout orders can be placed online or in-person; host site Oddwood Brewing has indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
