The 20 Best BBQ Spots In Texas - The Infatuation

"Prior to the opening of Burnt Bean in 2020, Seguin’s biggest claim to fame was being home to the “world’s largest pecan”—a slightly underwhelming roadside attraction more worthy of a quick stop than a dedicated trip. Burnt Bean changed all that, drawing barbecue seekers hours before its 11am opening, lined along sidewalks with more anticipation than shade. Classics like brisket and ribs are textbook Central Texas, but it’s the extras—smoked chicken drumsticks with a peppery crust, or thick-cut turkey that eats like a steak—that makes this spot destination-worthy. Add in some Big Red tres leches or a side of creamy mac and cheese topped with crushed up Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and you’ll see how Burnt Bean layers classic comforts with a little creativity." - nicolai mccrary, kevin gray, nick rallo
