"Rooted in Central Texas tradition but unafraid to experiment, this pit led by Chuck Charnichart honors classic brisket, sausage, and turkey while incorporating flavors from Mexican heritage and South Texas upbringing. Creative offerings like Molotov pork ribs basted with serrano syrup and lime zest and cilantro- and poblano-laden green spaghetti showcase a playful, boundary-pushing approach built on excellent traditional foundations." - Greg Baker
