Texas Monthly’s annual BBQ Fest<\/a> is back on Sat. Sep. 19 with a homecoming theme this year. <\/p>\n

You can expect live music, bites from seven featured BBQ joints \u2014 1775 Texas Pit BBQ<\/a>, Harlem Road Texas BBQ<\/a>, Hurtado Barbecue<\/a>, Roegels Barbecue Co<\/a>, Schoepf\u2019s BBQ<\/a>, Smoke\u2019N Ash BBQ<\/a>, and Smoke-A-Holics BBQ<\/a> \u2014 and some nostalgic homecoming activities to set the mood. <\/p>\n

Daniel Vaughn, barbeque editor for Texas Monthly, told NTX Now’s Ron Corning that it was hard narrowing it down to just seven pitmasters. <\/p>\n

“A lot of it has to do with barbecue joints that have been in our top 50 in the past,” he said. “We want to bring them back for really a barbecue family reunion.” <\/p>\n

The event is being put on in partnership with Feeding Texas, an organization that aims to create a hunger-free Texas. Tickets are $100 and a portion of each will be donated to Feeding Texas and a network of food banks all across the state. <\/p>\n

“We really think that the mission of Feeding Texas is an important one,” Vaughn said. “They do great work.” <\/p>\n
