Whether it be a juicy slice of brisket, big ol' beef rib, or a pot full of pinto beans, the makings of a perfect barbecue meal (Texas style!) are something meat lovers lust after. But more than ever, actually being in the state of Texas to enjoy this cuisine isn't necessary. Texas-style barbecue has spread far and wide and can now be eaten all across the country—and the joints aren't half bad at all. Texas Monthly tried barbecue from 37 states and 150 joints to find the absolute best. Enjoy!
