"The intersection of vegan food and barbecue is a place most restaurants in Houston dare not go. But Houston Sauce Pit isn’t most places—this small food truck is one of the only spots in the city making plant-based barbecue. The epitome of Houston Sauce Pit’s work is their thick chopped “veef” burger, the subtly sweet baked beans, and spicy brussels sprouts. Most folks come here on a takeout mission, but if your burger can’t wait, there are a couple of wooden benches in front of the truck." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
