"At 2M Smokehouse in San Antonio, the smoked sausage is ground with creamy oaxacan cheese and serrano peppers, the mac and cheese crackles with crispy chicharrónes, and on weekends, fatty slabs of beef cheek and pork jowl appear in barbacoa form. Even with all that going on, the show-stealers are the pork belly—glazed in sticky orange sauce and dusted with sesame seeds—and the turkey, juicy and flavorful enough to inspire its own cult following. If you want to beat the line, get there about 30 minutes before opening on weekends (a little less on weekdays). But even if you don’t, the promise of freshly made flour tortillas and some of the best pork belly in South/Central Texas makes the wait feel more like a warm-up than a chore." - nicolai mccrary, kevin gray, nick rallo
