Big Central TX BBQ fan here. For those in Texas, it's not very well known but the family running Kreuz Market (mentioned in the article) opened a new location recently, in Bryan TX, 90mn North west of Houston. And for the readers in the Seattle area, I recommend Jack's BBQ on Airport Way S. It's owned and operated by a Texan native (former Microsoft employee* ). Their brisket isn't bad! * for the overlap between tech and BBQ :)
