What the creator captured
Only Scrans was profoundly impressed by the barbecue at Truth Barbecue, labeling the brisket as the best he has ever had. He highlighted Houston as a misunderstood food city where the scale of the landscape is matched only by the intense labor and love put into its culinary institutions. His most memorable takeaway was the realization that a number three ranking in Texas barbecue likely equates to being number three in the world.
