Mission Statement: Over the last few decades, Central Texas-style barbecue has been enshrined as the best and most desirable barbecue in Texas. And rightly so. The dedication and technique of pitmasters in places like Lexington, Taylor and Lockhart have made the barbecue of Central Texas celebrated around the world. And yet, in this celebration, another worthy and long-storied style of Texas barbecue - hailing from East Texas - has been overshadowed. The mission of the Houston Barbecue Project is to revisit, document and recognize the East Texas-style of barbecue as it is embodied in the urban barbecue joints of Houston, Texas. More information can be found in the articles What's wrong with Houston barbecue? and the Houston Barbecue Project.  
A few media notices in Eater Houston, Houston Entree, Culturemap and the Houston Chronicle.
