"For the parent who wants barbecue for dinner Another Texas experience your parents (locals or not) will appreciate: barbecue. The problem is that most barbecue places are only open for lunch. So if your parents want barbecue for dinner, you should head to Lambert’s, where you won’t have to wait in line (you should probably make reservations). Lambert’s is more of a fancy barbecue restaurant, which is a concept we’d hate if the food wasn’t so good. Here’s how you’ll want to fill your table: fried pickle spears, mac and cheese, brisket, and ribs. Lots of ribs." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
