I am going to reveal a Texas secret here and hope I don't get
disenfranchised or loose my Texas citizenship.

All the people in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Brownsville and
all the Rio Grande Valley, San Angelo, El Paso, Elgin, Abilene, Lubbock,
Amarillo, and most every place else in Texas come to Austin for BARBECUE.
It is the best, I think every barbecue place in Austin copied my recipes.
(Except for my chicken which ain't all that great).

So, I understand your frustration in trying to find real barbecue in Ft
Worth and Dallas.
