Rudy's The Worst Barbecue in Texas

Rudy's is a small out door barbecue outfit that exists on the side of the freeway. It resembles an old style gas station and country store decorated in old red painted wood. Most Texans know of Rudy's. And if you were to ask the average Texan if they knew about Rudy's they would probably respond, "Shoooot! Rudy's that's some damn fine barbecue son. Make sure you get their brisket."
Now if one wishes to get food here they must endure a very unusual serving process. When you walk over to the counter to ask for your meet you will be greeted by the smell of cooking meat. This smell will be also accompanied by a sweltering heat and a smiling face. after selecting a specific animal that you wish to have carved up and cooked, one of the workers will walk over to a ginormous pit and retrieve a huge slab of meat.From there they will proceed to slice that meat into edible sizes. Next, the meat will be placed onto a sheet of butcher paper (fitting amIright) and slapped onto a plastic tray.
The whole process of getting your food is iconic enough where i decided to mention it. But, to the food itself. I've had just about every type of meat produced by this place and i'd have to say my favorite is not the all star brisket that get so much mainsteam hype. It is the turkey. I know you must be thinking turkey and barbecue. What the hell? I assure you that it is actually worth getting. I want you to think of the times during thanks giving when you received your plate full of this dismal soggy turkey. I want you now to take that memory and forever repress it because this turkey at Rudy's barbecue is some of the finest damn turkey I have ever eaten. It is covered in a dry rub that has enough spices to wake up Rumpelstiltskin. The first bite is like that of having the Vietnam christmas day bombing take palace within your mouth. It is absolutely the best. It screams freedom and american pride. If I could replace every single shitty turkey from my childhood with this turkey I would. I'm pretty sure if that happened I would have had a much happier childhood.
All in all Rudy's is amazing not only for its bodacious food, but also its eclectic, rustic vibe that brings forth the true face of Texas culture.
