With summer almost here, I wanted to create a post to celebrate the diverse array of barbecue platters that the BBQ joints in the Texas Monthly Top 50 are putting out on a daily basis. Maybe this will spark some interest in a barbecue joint that you had only heard of or if you work at or own a BBQ joint perhaps this will give you some inspiration. There is some really spectacular barbecue being served out there. I have limited it to 3 platters per BBQ joint.
Where I had the information I have provided the photographer (some were taken by the BBQ joint themselves) and these are in the exact order that they reside in the magazine.
