In 12 years as BBQ editor I had no reason to visit Del Rio because nothing happens there on the BBQ front. This year is different. A promising new spot just opened, and the 50+ year old Hot Pit BBQ closed for good. www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/humo-pri...

The barbecue down in southeast Texas is so great now. Mout’s Barbeque in Winnie, Charlie’s Bar-B-Que and 1701 BBQ in Beaumont, and Redbird BBQ in Port Neches make the area one heck of a BBQ destination.
