The 20 Best BBQ Spots In Texas - The Infatuation

"One of the best emails you can receive as a Dallasite is from Cattleack on a weekday morning: “No Line at 12.” When it hits your inbox, get there right away and cancel any afternoon plans. This tin shack in Farmers Branch was made for the kind of gather-around meal where reaching over your dining partner’s tray and tearing off a piece of their pastrami rib is A-OK. The dining room is massive, and don’t be surprised to find folks outside at the covered patio with a cooler of beer next to their table. Direct your eyes to the blackboard for what kind of sausage you should order that week, sometimes speckled with peppers like stars in a meat sky. And for some extra local flavor, get the macaroni cheese with hatch chiles." - nicolai mccrary, kevin gray, nick rallo
