"Perched in the Heights and founded in Brenham in 2015, this outpost—opened in Houston three years ago—serves classic Central Texas barbecue with standout whole-hog roasts, Cajun burnt ends boudin, and delectable cakes, and was ranked No. 3 on Texas Monthly’s list of 50 best barbecue joints. I noted creative sides like corn pudding and tater tot casserole, and that the cakes are made by pitmaster Leonard Botello’s mom, Janel, alongside head baker Laquita Wilkins; the original Brenham location previously placed No. 10 on Texas Monthly’s 2017 list." - Brittanie Shey
