Central Texas BBQ with Louisiana flair: glazed ham, duck, boudin
"There’s no shortage of classic barbecue in Austin, but Parish Barbecue gives it an exciting Louisiana twist. Think crawfish stuffing, jalapeño cheddar boudin sausage, and smoked ham that goes toe to toe with the best slow-cooked meats in town. We haven’t seen a BBQ newcomer make such a strong impression in a while, but considering the pitmaster has both Franklin and Interstellar on his résumé, we can’t say we’re surprised. Go while you can still snag a spot in line without needing a folding chair—it’s only a matter of time before Parish joins the ranks of Austin’s greats. The trailer is set up at Batch Brewing, which means you can pair your tray with a cold beer, and chase it all with a blackberry-and-brownie-brittle kolache for dessert." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary
"Parish is Central Texas barbecue that spent its summers in Louisiana and found a way to seamlessly blend both worlds. Thick, salty slabs of smoked ham put anything behind Golden Corral’s carving station to shame, while crawfish stuffing and jalapeño cheddar boudin sausage feel less fusion and more “why haven’t we been doing this all along?” The brisket stands up against any classic spot in town, with thick and peppery bark, and the pork ribs are as close to perfect as any you’ll find in the state. Parish is barbecue for a new generation of pitmasters, unafraid to color outside the lines and bend the rules of Texas tradition." - nicolai mccrary, kevin gray, nick rallo
"This Central Texas trailer is bringing their Louisiana-accented barbecue straight to EEEEEATSCON. Orange pepper smoked duck topped with crispy duck skins, remoulade vinegar slaw, pickles, and onions served on a potato roll (one slider per order) Beef brisket, Tabasco pepper, garlic, and mustard seed in a hog casing Shredded hashbrowns in a cheesy crawfish sauce, topped with Zapp's potato chips Heirloom cherry tomatoes in a lemon tarragon vinaigrette with chopped garlic, green onion, and celery" - team infatuation
