besides visiting all the historical sites like the alamo, i think the first thing i will probably want to try in texas is their famous texas bbq. i know that there’s plenty of debate about the best bbq, but you know what? i am not passing up good grub. since that is not happening soon, i take comfort in knowing that we have a bit of texas’ best in walnut creek, california. back forty texas bbq serves up some delicious bbq. we have been here for lunch, dinner, private parties, and even had them catered at work and offsite. and almost without fail, we love their bbq ribs! and they are famous, too! their bbq ribs placed first at the nugget rib cook-off in 2011 (reno, nevada).
