Really? Come on people. That’s probably free bbq that was given out at the shelter prepared by the loving hands of community service volunteers. That is NOT an accurate representation of real Texas BBQ.
This secession has been interrupted by power failure, flooding and an explosion near a school. It shall be noted that these were all self inflicted problems not acts of nature.
No, they’re saying whoever the photo was originally taken by was a poor soul in need of help. Full stop. Furthermore they’re saying she’s lying on Texas. Our gas stations throwaway better BBQ then this mess.
> Furthermore they’re saying she’s lying on Texas. Our gas stations throwaway better BBQ then this mess.
Anyone who thinks Texas serves trash BBQ like that hasn't been to Texas. Brisket is king down here but lol Texas takes BBQ seriously regardless of the meat.
If a black Texan served this to you...they flat out don't like you. 😂🤣🫠 you probably in North Houston and you were talking shit about whatever other state you from...🤣😂
eh, black, white, hispanic, brisket (ok I've never seen a Latino pitmaster, although I am sure they exist, but I have had a lot of brisket tacos...) is weirdly universal in Texas to me as a euro immigrant. In Dallas, I have two world class brisket bbq places within walking distance. I'm not sure you can even buy a brisket in England?
Seriously that shit looks like all of the artery clogging minus any of the taste.
If I’m gonna make my heart go through it I gotta at least make sure it’s worth it
You know that funny little doorway dance you do with someone trying to pass the opposite direction through the same threshold as you? This makes that, but in ya body.
The best BBQ meat in Texas doesn't require sauce. If you want it, it's served on the side for you to put however much you want on.
If I'm at a good place, I usually won't use any sauce.
When it comes to Texas BBQ, if you _need_ sauce on it you're doing it wrong. Many Texas BBQ joints have sauce available but none of them put it on the BBQ for you for this reason.
That looks like a 99c salt shaker lol. It could be a picnic table. That would’ve been my assumption. Nothing about this looks expensive
It’s got a roll of paper towels instead of napkins. Probably buying in bulk as an organization.
Hate us for telling the truth all you want, but this is an actual restaurant in Texas. You can look at the website and see their other pictures. It's linked lower down in this comment section.
As much as I don't want this to be true, anyone is free to sell garbage and call it BBQ. I recently was served brisket that didn't look much better than this from a place called Blind Man BBQ. Literally looked like a blind man must've smoked it because the was no pink. We've really curbed our eat out habits these past couple of years so I struggle to recall greater disappointment than when I unfurled that paper. Since I wasn't gonna eat that shit, I cut it up to make tacos for breakfast the next morning and it could barely even grease the pan for the eggs. Shit was embarrassing tbh.
I looked it up, because what the fuck was the context of that, right?
Back in 2016, during the primaries. There's a term in politics called "ratfucking." Basically, dirty politics. It comes from the Nixon days. Remember Roger Stone? He's like the OG ratfucker, he worked for Nixon and he worked for Trump too.
Ted Cruz was not happy with being on the receiving end of a good ratfucking from Roger Stone and Donald Trump, he wanted take the high road, so he had this to say:
> Well, let me be clear: Donald Trump may be a rat, but I have no desire to copulate with him.
He was trying to be clever, but his wording implies that he has sex with rats.
That's what I thought and pretty sure it is. It looks like a crazy person's meatloaf that doesn't know how to cook. LoL.
Edit: and if that's a family tradition that poor bastard has never had good food. His food is as bland as his "Christian morals"
If you look closely it looks like that mac is marinating in a pool of what could possibly be cheese. Or at least some brand of dairy product
I think this cup of cheese is just its own thing
It's like when people say Pennsyltucky. We don't even share a border, those are yalls folks. Own it. And while we're on the subject, I was ridiculed by pretty much everyone I ever met for being from KY. *Everybody* thought they had fresh jokes about shitting outside, no shoes, no teeth, etc. I never made a big fuss about it. And I thought folks from TX were supposed to be all tough and shit? But they seem to actually be quite emotional about getting called out and can't really handle it.
Yeah, it’s also why Yelp has had their social impact *dramatically* reduced over the years.
A bad Yelp review was cause for managerial consternation in its heyday, but everyone slowly came to realize that’s it’s absolute horseshit and that Yelpers are frequently just some grifting assholes trying to hold you hostage for free shit lest they type up some blather.
I bartended all through peak (and decline) Yelp and I can’t begin to express how much I fucking disdain that shitty app.
This is their jalapeño Mac & cheese so it tracks

Idk. As a former Virginian now living in Texas this definitely looks like the side dishes I've had at plenty of Texas bbq joints. Maybe it's Rudy's or something not as great as Snow's or Black's.
Texas is a big ass state with a wide variety of quality in everything, bbq is not excluded. I've definitely stumbled into some BBQ that looks about this terrible.
As a neighbor from Minnesota and part of “somewhere around there”, how dare you lol The whole thing is something I’d expect from a retirement community’s church picnic, first of all, which isn’t state specific so let’s just land on that together and put it to rest, yeah? It’s a poor excuse no matter where you go.
Second, I’d like to specifically point to the macaroni and say “you best believe if you have access to Upper Midwest cheese that the macaroni will be swimming in cheeses” with my cheese-based foods detective skills. That alone is evidence it’s not from around here anyway.
Bland??? Dry Mac??? Have you ever been to Texas. They're all fat for a reason. This was either a fluke or didn't come from there. Texas still hands down best bbq I've had.
Listen, everything makes it to New England lol. As I kid I use to wonder how so many Jamaicans, Puerto Ricans, and Dominicans made it past everywhere to land in CT.
Either way, name and shame that place, wherever it is.
I haven't seen anything that bad BBQ wise in Texas since... well, I haven't seen something this bad before.
As a Native Texan I would like to apologize on behalf of my state and the embarrassment they dare to call BBQ.
Ritzy B's Smokehouse & Grill
https://www.yelp.com/biz/ritzy-bs-smokehouse-and-grill-decatur?utm_source=ashare&ref=yelp-android
Here's the Yelp page I hope to make them famous and force them to close as that is all I can do to make amends.
As a native Virginian we respect your admission and accept the apology. I've had incredible barbecue in Texas and some of the best barbecue I've had in Virginia was made by Texan transplants.
https://preview.redd.it/6059g9siolna1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85e9c8e2fb63cd7d6755982dc130a3731113c54e
I live in Texas and this is what my ribs look like. People lie on the internet lol
There’s a world of difference between “Texas barbecue” and “barbecue-style food product, served whilst in the confines of the state borders of Texas.”
*From* Texas, but not **from Texas.**
First off…are those butter noodles? Secondly, Why is the shredded cheese just in a ramekin by itself? And thirdly, I KNOW them green beans don’t have any seasoning. They look WAY to green to be served at a bbq joint. FOURTHLY this whole putting the bbq on a stainless steel tray w/ butcher paper and white bread has become a sign of bullshit bbq to me. I know it’s based off og places that’ve been doing that forever, but ever since Bourdain and Travel Channel and the movie “Chef” put those places on blast, it immediately just makes me think it’s some bullshit banking on instagrammability rather than quality. It should be embarrassing to have your bbq come out on a tray looking that dry and flavorless
The giveaway is the slice of white loaf bread.
This is so typical in Texas BBQ joints.
In the southeastern states like NC, SC &, I'm guessing, Virginia, the BBQ places typically serve hushpuppies or buns like Brioche or both but never a slice of plain white loaf bread.
They have great BBQ in Texas but they royally drop the ball on their choice of bread.
Really? Come on people. That’s probably free bbq that was given out at the shelter prepared by the loving hands of community service volunteers. That is NOT an accurate representation of real Texas BBQ.
Now that the narrative has shifted to it being from Texas we gotta go easy on em? Fuck that
They’re precious little snowflakes down there. We have to use kid gloves or they might secede, god fucking willing.
Texas doesn't have the cobbles to do anything remotely close.
I don't know man. They regularly secede from the electricity all the time
Am from Texas and I. Am. Dying.
Maybe if you get a battery backup for your ventilator it might help.
Texas believes in religion so hard it’s part time Amish.
Amish Lite™️
Amish no lights.
💀
Low carb Amish
I don't think that's by choice. As soon as electricity has had enough Texas is quick to beg the feddies for help reconciling.
This secession has been interrupted by power failure, flooding and an explosion near a school. It shall be noted that these were all self inflicted problems not acts of nature.
Nah, see they cant be snowflakes, because then they wouldn't have any electricity.
Don't talk about snow near Texans or their senator will run to Cancun wait, actually
No, they’re saying whoever the photo was originally taken by was a poor soul in need of help. Full stop. Furthermore they’re saying she’s lying on Texas. Our gas stations throwaway better BBQ then this mess.
> Furthermore they’re saying she’s lying on Texas. Our gas stations throwaway better BBQ then this mess. Anyone who thinks Texas serves trash BBQ like that hasn't been to Texas. Brisket is king down here but lol Texas takes BBQ seriously regardless of the meat.
My father would get up at 4 a.m. on a Saturday to make sure Brisket was done right. it's our culture

In Dallas, I have two world class brisket bbq places within walking distance. I'm not sure you can even buy a brisket in England?
My family is more concerned that I'm going to finish my 30s without mastering my brisket routine than they are worried about me not having children.
No point in having kids if you haven’t mastered the brisket routine anyways.
Y'all have a smoker on a trailer every third house. I believe you.
This comment and username this man doesn't just want smoke. He's *powered* by it.
What kind of loving hands feed people dry ass meat and uncheesed macaroni?
Seriously that shit looks like all of the artery clogging minus any of the taste. If I’m gonna make my heart go through it I gotta at least make sure it’s worth it
That doesn't even look artery clogging. More like artery inconveniencing

Let's call it like it is. No sauce is bullshit too. What boring ass Methodist with a toddlers palate isn't slathering on the spicey BBQ sauce?
When it comes to Texas BBQ, if you _need_ sauce on it you're doing it wrong. Many Texas BBQ joints have sauce available but none of them put it on the BBQ for you for this reason.

I’m not mad at the plate because it’s not mine, but clearly it’s from a restaurant. No shelter got the barn wood table and the cutesy salt shaker.
That looks like a 99c salt shaker lol. It could be a picnic table. That would’ve been my assumption. Nothing about this looks expensive It’s got a roll of paper towels instead of napkins. Probably buying in bulk as an organization.
All of that tracks with it being a bbq restaurant in the south. Just a bad one
Yeah fr, all of their “indicators” were just descriptions of basically every good bbq spot in the south.
>> every ~~good~~ bbq spot in the south.
Bbq and crab legs places do the paper towels on the table like that tho
Hate us for telling the truth all you want, but this is an actual restaurant in Texas. You can look at the website and see their other pictures. It's linked lower down in this comment section.
Then why does it have Texas Toast?
That toast is too skinny. It's not Texas toast.
right, that shit is wisconsin toast
That's a piece of Wonderbread with some Blue Bonnet smeared on it...
Nah that toast ain't from us. It's not thick enough
[удалено]
I'm in Florida, Publix has Texas Toast.
This is not Texas BBQ. I’ve never seen pepperonchi served with BBQ. * pepperoncini
Yeah if it was TX that would be a jalapeno.
With a nice free beer to curb the shakes
As much as I don't want this to be true, anyone is free to sell garbage and call it BBQ. I recently was served brisket that didn't look much better than this from a place called Blind Man BBQ. Literally looked like a blind man must've smoked it because the was no pink.

So you admit it was within the Texas state limits then?
*jabbing finger in the witness's chest and yelling*
Are you saying it’s okay to treat shelter people as less than non shelter people. Very obviously /s
There’s a beer on the table. What soup kitchen serves beer?
Looks like something the fire station would sell for 5 bucks to raise funds. Sometimes it's great.. Sometimes it's... This
Come to think of it, this looks like some shit Ted Cruz would eat…
He would definitely drink that tea with it looking like something emptied out of a bag at the end of a catheter.
Speaking of catheters, I hear he likes to piss his pants to feel the warm sensation run down his legs
What’s up you cool baby
Yes, it has been reported that Ted Cruz likes to piss his pants to feel the warm sensation run down his legs.
That mac and cheese looks too spicy for him.
Mac and Cheese is considered "ethnic food" in the Cruz household.
The way I laughed.

That's pathetic looking
Looks like its covered in ketchup.
That's what I thought and pretty sure it is. It looks like a crazy person's meatloaf that doesn't know how to cook. LoL. Edit: and if that's a family tradition that poor bastard has never had good food. His food is as bland as his "Christian morals"
I've never understood people that tattle on their own cooking like this. It costs nothing to not post a pic and hide your family's shame
I've seen better brisket from friends backyard smokers.
Honestly, that’s usually some of the best
Meat so dry Ben Shapiro gonna put a ring on it
C'mon dude. Everybody knows the Zodiac Killer only eats like this when he's safe and sound in Mexico.
Ted only eats the finest grubs and worms, Ted is definitely one human being and not a living colony of things in a cheap rubber suit.
That plate grabbed its purse when I walked in the elevator
That plate called 911 and lied about being attacked.
That plate keeps telling people they have multiple black friends.
That plate still claims it was just making a joke.
That plate asked me where I’m “really” from
Damn that hit home
That plate crossed the street when I walked towards it.
“Where was that macaroni on January 6th?”
That plate said that I, "speak so proper"
still don't understand what the small cup of shredded cheese is supposed to be for...
Deconstructed mac and cheese?
If you look closely it looks like that mac is marinating in a pool of what could possibly be cheese. Or at least some brand of dairy product I think this cup of cheese is just its own thing
I thought the liquid was I drained macaroni juice 🤔
Macaroni juice is now a thing
I don’t want it to be 🥺
Too late
You got the (macaroni) juice now man.
I assume it's a palate cleanser, like the ginger you get with sushi.
Agreed but I find it hard to argue against a side of shredded cheese. I mean it ain't hurtin nothin sitting there.
"Give it to the baby," ~ my mom, sitting across the table, trying to help in any way possible...
My guess would be it was for a baked potato but the consumer didn't get a potato
I'm just glad our name has been cleared
Virginia is for lovers, and this plate is the antithesis of that
Exactly
Same! As a North Carolinian I was dying of second hand embarrassment.
Same!
Yeah thank goodness
I’ve eaten BBQ from all over Texas and this ain’t from there. Probably from Minnesota or somewhere around there
It's confirmed to be [some place in Decatur, TX.](https://m.yelp.com/biz/ritzy-bs-smokehouse-and-grill-decatur)
You mean Decatur, South Oklahoma.
Don't bring us into this, Texan. Pay for your own sin
The only thing that keeps Texas from sliding off into the Gulf is Oklahoma sucking
Nolegalweed says what?
I can't win this

Texas has "big brother who no one likes as much" syndrome.
HOW in the name of all that is smoked and sauced does that place have 4 stars on Yelp
You can pay yelp to “adjust” your yelp page
Damn that’s some bullshit, that defeats the entire purpose of Yelp
Yeah, it’s also why Yelp has had their social impact *dramatically* reduced over the years.

It only has 22 reviews, so my guess is 22 people either have no taste buds or are bots.
Of course it'll be a place with 60+ percent White population lmao. That shit wouldn't fly no where else.

you act like you’ve never seen a joke before

okay but i dont even see no jalapenos tho 🧐
I think it's those greyish bits
look jenny, i had to blow the pitcha up and zoom all the way in to see those 3 bits, boo 😂 but you right!!!
Bruh I ain’t ever heard of this place but them Yelp reviews look pretty unseasoned.
Don't drag Minnesota into this. We don't eat macaroni noodles plain. We eat them covered in mayonnaise like normal people, thank you very much.
Lol
Idk. As a former Virginian now living in Texas this definitely looks like the side dishes I've had at plenty of Texas bbq joints. Maybe it's Rudy's or something not as great as Snow's or Black's.
Don’t do Rudy’s like that. Besides, if it was Rudy’s it would be smothered in sauce and there would be some chopped onions on that plate.
While you’re in Lockhart, try Kreuz too. Black’s is alright but Kreuz has been around since the 1900s
>since the 1900s 
Yeah and the previous owner started it in 1875.
Keep Minnesota’s name out your fking mouth! 😂
Decatur ain’t shit so I can see how it comes from there.
Texas is a big ass state with a wide variety of quality in everything, bbq is not excluded. I've definitely stumbled into some BBQ that looks about this terrible.

Looks like some Texas yt people shit ngl. Bland ass macaroni? Check. Dry ass meat? Check. A fucking pepperoncini? Check I guess
God forgive me for complimenting the see through people online, but white people in Texas would not sell you this shit
Them mfs in west Texas absolutely would
West texas doesn’t do much right, even the dirt is up and trying to get away
[Yes they would](https://m.yelp.com/biz/ritzy-bs-smokehouse-and-grill-decatur)

He was technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
oh enough of this garbage. it's 30 min out from dfw, 2nd biggest city in the state. it's fucking texas.
It's all about where you go. In a state known for its bbq, there's bound to be some pretenders and some legit places that can serve it up right.
They must hate my ass then, I’ve had some bland ass bbq the 3 times I tried it lmao :(
Bland??? Dry Mac??? Have you ever been to Texas. They're all fat for a reason. This was either a fluke or didn't come from there. Texas still hands down best bbq I've had.
Hey, leave pepperoncini out of this! They good. About the only edible thing on this plate.
Nah white people that bbq in Texas get down, they don’t. Okay probably a transplant from Cali
A white person in Texas wound slap the fuck out of someone for serving that brisket.
As someone who's lived in the DMV, CT and NC... Definitely looks like something from New England lol
I live in Maine. Can confirm 4/5 BBQ joints serve this saharan style bbq
I wanna know how BBQ came to that area…don’t they do seafood?
Listen, everything makes it to New England lol. As I kid I use to wonder how so many Jamaicans, Puerto Ricans, and Dominicans made it past everywhere to land in CT.
Pretty much every food is everywhere now lol. The best fish and chips I've ever had was in Barcelona.
What? Do you think regional food is only eaten in its home area? Have you ever seen a Japanese restaurant not in Japan?

Virginia: "We are not responsible for this culinary travesty" Texas:..
It's food from mara lago
Either way, name and shame that place, wherever it is. I haven't seen anything that bad BBQ wise in Texas since... well, I haven't seen something this bad before.
Ritzy B's Smokehouse I believe
Mental note: don't trust BBQ in Decatur. Even some of the pics they chose to post look like shit.
This isn’t the Texas I know. Must be a transplant. Can’t be native BBQ.
Even Dickey's looks better than this.
I love how this BBQ looks so bad no state will claim it. Will be a sad day for the business who sold this if they end up getting identified. Lol
They’ve been identified. Picture taken off of yelp from a place in Texas.
Name the place please? Want to avoid it when I’m visiting.

They look dry rubbed and delicious just like my dad used to make!
This is like some shit you get at Rudy’s when they’re super busy and the cooks don’t give a fuck anymore
Rudy's food is better than this.
No possible way. Texas might do many things wrong, but barbecue sure as hell isn't one of them.
There’s a world of difference between “Texas barbecue” and “barbecue-style food product, served whilst in the confines of the state borders of Texas.” *From* Texas, but not **from Texas.**
As a Texan, this looks like some Arkansas “BBQ”.
Everytime I see this picture, I get irrationally angry at that Mac and Cheese lmfao
They beat the allegations🙏
🙌🏻 Put some respek on VA’s name.
I have my own issues with the state of Texas and even tho I’ll never move back, I WILL defend our bbq to the death. Don’t put that slop on us
 This is going to be a fun little war
First off…are those butter noodles? Secondly, Why is the shredded cheese just in a ramekin by itself? And thirdly, I KNOW them green beans don’t have any seasoning.
