Just the other day I was at the Half-Price Bookstore, maybe the closest thing I'm going to find to a cool bookstore in my neighborhood, and I bought a great book about the best cheap eats in Houston. My first pick? BBQ! Luckily, we live less than a mile away from this place, Goode's BBQ, which is supposed to be one of the best places in town. We both ordered the special, the Beef Brisket w/ sauce, mine on a homemade jalapeno-cheddar bun and Carlos's on the regular bun, plus a side of Jambalaya. Verdict? Yummy, tender, juicy. But you know what? I'm sold on Carolina BBQ. I can't believe it, I thought the pork and vinegar combo was so gross at first, but it just kept growing on me so now that I've gone back to the beef BBQ I'm just not the biggest fan. The jamabalaya was alright, but next time I'm going for the Austin Baked Beans which have apples (!!) in them. Who'd have thought to add those?? Anyway, we'll definitely go back to Goode's. Sitting outside a metal barn on the side of a busy road at a picnic table with 20 fans blowing and a good view of the humongous metal armadillo, who can beat that? And for $15, I'd call that a deal any day.
