In fact, even across this one state, barbecue cuisine varies significantly in style. But it&#8217;s the offering from east and central Texas that this State is best known for, where cuts of meat \u2013 beef in particular \u2013 are rubbed with spices before being slow cooked over a wood fire.<\/p>\n<p>This signature style can be seen at its best at Louie Mueller Barbecue, where it&#8217;s the beef brisket that has long proven to be most popular; prepared with a salt and pepper rub, the beef is slow cooked in a 50-year-old barbecue pit over oak wood. Hand-made beef sausages with the eatery&#8217;s signature seasoning are another great draw, with a jalapeno variety for a little extra kick and chipotle for that unique spicy flavour. Diners can then choose between Texas beef ribs, pork spare ribs, or smoked baby back ribs with a sweet glaze. All of this is served with a generous side of pinto beans and homemade sauce.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/07\/BrisketTexas_iStock_Cogent-Marketing_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Summer BBQ\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/BrisketTexas_iStock_Cogent-Marketing_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/BrisketTexas_iStock_Cogent-Marketing_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/BrisketTexas_iStock_Cogent-Marketing_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/BrisketTexas_iStock_Cogent-Marketing_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/BrisketTexas_iStock_Cogent-Marketing_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/BrisketTexas_iStock_Cogent-Marketing_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The family-run barbecue joint has built up a loyal following over the years, while also garnering the attention of publications like <em>Texas Monthly<\/em>.
