If you have friends headed out to the hot BBQ joints this weekend who haven't eaten BBQ in a while, gently remind them that meat prices have risen substantially. Don't compare this current price to a visit a year or more ago. It's not a money grab by the BBQ joint.

A very good example as to why brisket sold at BBQ joints is much more than the raw price. Add in wood, seasoning, many hours of labor, and the real estate costs.

Last thing I expected to see in Seward, Alaska is a Texas BBQ joint. Transplanted former firefighter from Texas serving brisket, ribs, and more cooked on small pits including use of mesquite chunks. Robert Earl Keen and Willy Nelson playing on the radio and Shiner Bock for sale!

Pumpkin spice is in the air, and so is the first batch of turkey, stuffing, and gravy sausage. Kind of like a boudin with stuffing instead of rice :)

Don't know how much can or cannot be prevented when we live in a hurricane zone, preparation is key. A couple months ago we were hit with heavy winds and tornado too with very little warning, at least the hurricane gives us a week.

Pork steaks. Why do I like them so much? The smell, the sounds of the fat dripping and sizzling (and adding to the smell) the flavor, the ease of cooking, the price, and of course the taste.

They don't do social media and don't take credit cards at Kolacny BBQ House. Ervin doesn't talk much but his wife Carolyn will chat while she rings you up. Saturdays and Sundays they open at 11 but get there before noon for one of the most unique experiences in Texas BBQ.
