    I really liked Terry Black’s Barbecue in Houston. I did the BBQ Experience with Robert, and it was really cool getting to see how everything is made, ask questions, and pick up some tips from the pros. The food was amazing. The beef rib, brisket, and burnt ends were my top choices, but honestly, everything was good. I was especially surprised by the smoked turkey—I never would have expected it to be that good. The sausage links also had a really nice snap. The sides were great too. The creamed corn and mac and cheese were my favorites, but I enjoyed all of them. I finished with the chocolate pudding topped with crushed Oreos, and it was excellent. I honestly couldn’t believe I finished the whole thing after all that food, but it was that good. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you get the chance to do the BBQ Experience.
