I’ve just scratched the surface and will be adding to this list as I continue on my foodie adventures, but in the meantime, here…
To state that I’m excited about attending the annual HOU vs ATX Throwdown next year is an understatement. I’m really not big into BBQ – well, I can’t eat as much as a true fan does – but I do love meeting the pitmasters, oogling over the meat and dining with friends and fellow fans! This year, the throwdown was in Austin at Friends & Allies Brewing back…
