Chasing BBQ: 22 BBQ Stops in West/Central Texas in Just 1 Week
Denver, CO, August 29, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Savory Spice Shop, the leader in fresh-ground spices and handcrafted seasonings, recently sent its Founder and CEO Mike Johnston on a cross country road trip around the United States ‘chasing’ the best BBQ in the nation.
“Even though I’ve just begun this journey to explore barbecue across the country, what I’m learning early on is that Texas barbecue, and hopefully barbecue in general, is about the people just as much as the cue,” said Mike Johnston, Savory Spice Shop founder. “If the people I’ve met and the barbecue I’ve eaten along the way are any indication of what’s to come, then I’m in store for a lot of full stomachs and many new friends.”
Through Mike’s journey of ‘Chasing BBQ’, he is aiming to visit 76 BBQ joints in 38 days. At this point in his adventure, Mike has visited 22 different BBQ stops as he has traveled through West and Central Texas in his first week. So far Mike has been able to visit Texas BBQ stops in towns including Pecos, San Antonio, San Marco, Lockhart, Luling, Austin, Taylor, Lexington, and Elgin, TX, and this is only in the first week. Mike drew his inspiration from a similar feat completed by Johnny Fugitt, who visited 365 BBQ restaurants in one year.
“At this point I’ve traveled over 1,500 miles in my quest to ‘chase’ the best barbecue in the country and I’m just getting started. With more barbecue to try throughout East Texas, Memphis, Alabama, North and South Carolina, as well as Kansas City, I’m excited to continue the hunt. Let’s hope I don’t put on too much weight from all this delicious barbecue!”
