When the late Anthony Bourdain visited Houston, one of the stops was at the family-owned Burns Original BBQ.

The rib sandwich is massive and sure to satisfy with a double stack of pork ribs on this Texas toast.

Their loaded baked potatoes are also a standout item on their menu, and daily specials are really special, like half chickens with two sides for less than $9.

Pass some modest homes and look for a jammed parking lot. You’ve found one of the best BBQ joints in Texas. Beef spare ribs, satiny brisket and pork ribs are all fall-off-the-bone tender and redolent with smoke. Grab a seat inside or out, but don’t wait too long – it runs out and closes early.  – from Lonely Planet
