This Was The BEST BBQ So Far! - Moving To America [Episode 37]

Watch us discover possibly our most favourite BBQ place so far! The food was incredible and we wanted to go back the moment we left.
I had my classic 3 meat combo and Tasha has a two meat combo, but everything including the sides was amazing! I could not recommend this place more!!
We are loving our journey to try new BBQ every single week and so far we just love BBQ more and more!
Thank you all again so much for following and supporting us and this channel, we can't wait to see you on the next one.

Terry Black's in Austin! GET THE BEEF RIB THERE!!

[@MrPenguinLife]

Next week you really need to find one of the smaller artisan BBQ restaurants, rather than the big chain places

[@OkiePeg411]

I guess they only want the big restaurants with the fancy decor. I suggested a locally-owned family restaurant that's been in Cypress since the 70s. Not fancy enough, I guess.

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

they move to TX and decide to settle on the McDonalds of BBQ

[@neecee4457]

I'm pretty sure Mikey's pie was a Coconut Cream pie with meringue 😊

[@heathermcisaac7571]

Or maybe whipped topping of some sort but I thought coconut cream too. YUM!! 😋

[@creinicke1000]

All I get when visiting TX is ribs..

[@t0ddtu63]

I believe last video you said you guys got rodeo tickets.? Are you guys going to the BBQ cook off? You should do that. My favorite is the Pit Room.

[@sondrabateman7990]

You still need to go to Smittys in Lockhart. 🤤

[@dalemoore8582]

Good bbq doesn’t need sauce.

[@tahliasgoddaddy]

If it's not made with key limes, it's not key lime pie. It's just lime pie. It really looked more like lemon meringue but, it's hard to tell in video. I'm sure you can get key limes in Texas so, it could have been real key lime pie.

[@revtoyota]

Just get the extra and take the rest home with you. It's a great breakfast or lunch. If the brisket needs sauce it isn't top tier.

[@Catherine.Dorian.]

For some countries the idea of getting food to take home is foreign to them, as in it’s not common for a restaurant to give a box. So they may not realize that basically almost every American restaurant has boxes for take home

[@RoSaWa386-33]

@@Catherine.Dorian.Especially due to the pandemic years.

[@Catherine.Dorian.]

@@RoSaWa386-33 Oh yeah, now every restaurant definitely has boxes

[@stephaniemccarthy1676]

Glad you two are realizing your destinies. Carry on. Your viewers love you two American sweethearts. True country and true future citizens of the U.S.A. If I may speak for many. We welcome you both.

[@JenniferLott-i4u]

Tasha Homemade Banana Pudding is so easy to make. Put a layer of vanilla wafers flat side down in a pan (I use throw away). Then a layer of bananas. I then mix a layer of Jello Vanilla pudding mix ( follow directions). Then then another layer of wafers, bananas, pudding. Put in the fridge to cool.

[@libertybell8852]

You should try a mix of banana cream and vanilla puddings! And I do a whipped cream/cream cheese/powdered sugar type mix in the middle and do a layer of pudding on that and do a whipped cream on top and my family LOVES it. 😋 if you are ever looking to mix it up, maybe try that. 😊

[@eddiehagler6127]

You clearly don’t know how barbecue works. The goal is to take leftovers home to have a second or even third meal out of 1 trip

[@OkiePeg411]

I never eat an entire meal at a restaurant. I even tell the waitress to bring me a take-home container when I order!!! I can definitely get several meals from that. I'd weight 300# if I ate it all in one sitting.

[@ohshetz8478]

Hope you guys have a good life and stay for a very long time here in the US. Love your attitudes and positivity. Watching your videos makes me feel happier as an American 🇺🇸

[@Lennox1492]

When it comes to BBQ AVOID MAJOR CHAIN BBQ PLACES.

[@markdavid4773]

Mikey people like you two are what make this country great 👍

[@jamesleyda365]

Yes, that is absolutely true👍

[@christianlong-lo3jm]

Maybe

[@courtneyraymer6586]

No “Maybe” about it! 🫶🥰🇺🇸🇲🇭

[@markdavid4773]

@@courtneyraymer6586 Agreed 👍

[@edcampbell7484]

I am new to Texas (Conroe) from California. For Mexican food you should give Pappasito’s a try…. Excellent Mexican food.

[@bradleyanderson4315]

Btw that is coconut , you can tell by the crumbled coconut on top.

[@texaspatriot4215]

Yep, looks like classic coconut cream pie.

[@Big_Tex]

Look, don’t bother getting key lime pie unless you’re in South Florida. Anywhere else it’s like getting Mexican Food in a Northern State - it just ain’t right.

[@bradleyanderson4315]

Just take the leftovers home. Leftover pulled pork is good mixed into macaroni and cheese and reheats well. Not very familiar with brisket as that is more typical with Texas than elsewhere.

[@cherylflam3250]

Good brisket doesn’t need sauce !!

[@2AwesomeDogs]

Mikey, thoughts and Prayers for King Charles and his fight with Cancer😢. Keep the videos 'S coming enjoy watching yoi two discover Texas and American

[@hardtackbeans9790]

Spring Creek & Rudy's are the best chains I know of. I think the pie was coconut cream.

[@colleenmonfross4283]

The pie you tried looked like coconut cream, it's very popular. If you guys liked Spring Creek BBQ, I can't wait for you to try great BBQ, like Terry Black's or Franklin's in Austin.

[@bitfenix90]

Or go to Lockhart, the Capitol of Texas BBQ.

[@markjacobs6484]

Check out Texas Monthly magazine, BBQ Edition.. Every 4 years they rate the barbecue joints across the state of Texas and publish the results in their magazine. There are several on the list in the Houston area. I believe the last one was published in 2021. Enjoy y'alls videos.

[@dalemoore8582]

You must have had really bad key lime pie if you think coconut pie is Key lime!!!

[@marvinbolden6882]

Just get a copy of the Texas Monthly top 50 BBQ joints in Texas.

[@jbm0866]

I agree that's a good general guide, but the top 5 seems to change year by year just for changes sake. It's also a general guideline and shouldn't be treated as a BBQ bible. The ones at the top are likely truly legit, but some towards the bottom could be fantastic most days yet the Texas Monthly crew happened to visit on a day where drastic outdoor temp changes affected the smokers...breaking in new employees etc. BBQ is extremely difficult to get consistent results every day year round.

[@ninadavis3989]

Also if you don’t eat all your food. You can take your leftovers home. You would just ask for a take home container.

[@dbk9761]

That looks like coconut cream pie.

[@Michael-gw8xq]

Mikey grabs a Shiner Bock. He's definitely a true Texan now.😊

[@ericespineli5198]

Tejas Chocolate in Tomball or Corkscrew in Spring.

[@Worrell057]

Hate to say, I never go for pulled pork in Texas barbeque joints. It's generally not their forte, and I go for something that is, but that's just me.

[@claranielsen3382]

Lean brisket is usually very tough. I would try to find some mom and pop BBQ places. Those usually have the best BBQ. So glad you're loving Texas ! My grandson is thinking about going to school in Houston to become a airline mechanic so I may be coming down there to visit.

[@rammannawar1626]

Take I10 west about 35 minutes to Columbus and try Mikeska’s bbq.

[@Mona.555]

Also try the iconic Taste of Texas. It’s in the southeast corner of Katy Frwy & Beltway 8 on the feeder road. Traveling East or inbound exit onto feeder road just before BW8. Stay on feeder and just as you pass the intersection you’ll see the turn in to TofTexas. It sits back from the roadway. It has great Steaks because they will cut it to your specifications. However thick or big you want it. Really nice Salad Bar. A little pricier but a great fine dining restaurant. Owned by great people the Hendee’s. No I don’t know them. He used to be a radio host. She’s a Texas Historian. A lot of Texas memorabilia in the restaurant. At least there was in the past. As far as I know it hasn’t changed. Bye for know.

[@glendamcgrady1244]

Exciting month for you and Tasha and your subscribers!

[@bitfenix90]

If places don't have the giant Beef Ribs, go after everything else. If they have it, forget ALL OTHER MEATS. You should haven't any any room left! Brisket should be tried without sauce. Piggie ribs, with. "I'm really good at spice" - famous last words. Peppers change with the seasons - climate affects them - cold, hot, wet, dry. WHen you start frequenting TexMex joints with salsa ("Hot sauce and chips"), you'll discover cafes that seem to have changed their salsa recipe - no, it's just hotter with this week's supplies.

[@jankreps5115]

I’m glad you found a favorite barbecue!! No it’s not weird to enjoy music… I have my favorites as well on my playlist!! Have you listen to chicken Fried by the Zac Brown band?! You’ll like that one keep on enjoying Texas! Stay safe!!

[@BP-or2iu]

Hers the deal... it seems like y'all're averse to driving far. If you want the best stuff in Houston, you'll eventually have to drive 30 minutes or an hour. The best BBQ is in the city, or in Spring perhaps at Corkscrew or Pearland at Killen's. Glad y’all enjoyed it but y'all're not getting real Texas artisanal BBQ form these places. Head to Pinkerton's in the city.

[@j.a.stafford1617]

Not barbecue, but if you like steak, there’s Taste of Texas, 10505 Katy Freeway. Been there forever.

[@RoSaWa386-33]

I complain about Too Dry BBQ and Too Fatty BBQ. You're bound to run into a slice (or 2, 3 hopefully not 4) from time to time. I 'get tired' of the fatty sections and cut those away but good-enough sauce can ask the 'lean' or 'too dry' meat.

[@mattsterbenz1392]

If you are in the Houston area try Damon's real Texas BBQ in Wharton TX Just down the road on 59 south from Houston. If you want to check them out first they have a KZbin channel too. Welcome to Texas Brother, Matt from Needville TX

[@kimp.e.8171]

I prefer the marbled brisket. No, it isn't healthy, and yes, it's full of fat, but OMG, it'll make you slap yourself because it's so good!

[@robinmills8675]

I love BBQ, but I judge a BBQ place by their baked beans. If they don't have enough flavor, you can put some BBQ sauce in them. It helps a little.

[@cookielady7662]

Enjoy seeing your reactions to our food, culture, and everything else. It gives me such hope. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@t0ddtu63]

I believe last video you said you guys got rodeo tickets.? Are you guys going to the BBQ cook off? You should do that. My favorite is the Pit Room.

[@deborahsturrock8543]

Not very unique if they spell barbecue with a “q”. I’d have turned around and gone elsewhere.

[@BTinSF]

So what I want to know is how you think American baked beans (any of the samples you've tried) compare to what Brits put on toast.

[@barnold62]

You need to try Hutchins BBQ in Frisco, TX. Can't beat it!

As a Texas born native who lives in California. I agree that the Calibration Corrections system . This isn’t like jail. This is prison .

SpringCreek BBQ is by far the best chain BBQ joint. My favorite is the one in Grand Prairie, right off I-20, between Dallas and Fort Worth.

[@nolame100]

U guys need to plan a weekend in New Orleans also. Easy😊, interstate all the way, and only a few hrs drive!

Out of the ones you have tried, this is the first one I have tried (My mother in law used to live in Katy)

[@w9gb]

Corn on the Cob .. proper Side for BBQ.

[@jbm0866]

I pretty much stopped doing chain restaurants years ago (when possible) but I honestly think Rudy's is better than Spring Creek. Of course thats just my experience, ymmv.

[@terrysutton730]

Pinkerton's bbq

If y'all want some amazing food, hop down to Cajun Greek in Galveston. Not BBQ, but you will not be disappointed!

[@Hornsfan64]

Go to Corkscrew BBQ in Spring, TX. Probably about a 45 minute drive. Open Wed-Sat, 11-4. Get there early!!

[@greghamann2099]

Spring creek bbq used to be so good many years ago but now it’s middle of the line at best.

[@Mona.555]

Brett’s BBQ just south of I10 on Kingsland. South side of Katy Mills mall. Written about many times for really good Q. Goode Co. is really good also. Locally family owned and a Houston legend.

[@Mona.555]

Tejas BBQ and Chocolates in Tomball.

[@CJWJR]

I'm so glad you guys are loving it here! Ironically, I'm probably the only Southerner who does NOT like Country music. (I find it difficult to listen to people whining instead of singing. 😄) I could eat BBQ just about every day though. Welcome (again) to the U.S..

[@Mona.555]

Country isn’t just whining.

[@dalemoore8582]

You are NOT the only southerners who hates country music. Count me in!!!

When did Queen, Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, etc. become considered country ‘cause I missed that memo.

[@BigBickBenedict_de_Texas]

Head west from Houston and go to Hinzes BBQ in Sealy, Austins BBQ in Eagle Lake, Vinceks Meat Market in East Bernard, Mikeska's BBQ in Columbus or El Campo

[@BigBickBenedict_de_Texas]

It's coconut cream pie
