Slow-Smoked Texas Barbecue is BACK in South Miami
The best thing to hit US-1 since the Virgin Megastore
Texans, as a whole, are about as subtle as Pride parade. You’ll realize this if you ever actually go to Texas, and see a state flag the size of Paraguay flying over a doghouse. Or hear Texans tell you, with complete seriousness, that human civilization actually started somewhere outside Marfa. Hyperbole is the official language of the Texan, but one place they don’t exaggerate is when bragging about the quality of their barbecue. And to their credit, I’ve never once heard a Texan say, “it’s in the water.”
Texan Mel Rodriguez is no exception, knowing full well that smoking brisket is in his blood. Last week, he re-opened La Traila Texas Craft Barbecue in South Miami in a much bigger space with a totally revamped menu. I’m not from Texas, so I’m not going to say his barbecue is the biggest, best, or endorsed by Jesus Christ himself . But I will say that unlike most people from Texas, La Traila’s food makes bold statements without saying a word.
So how’s this La Traila…
