Yesterday, I hit up Tejas BBQ in Tomball after reading about it in a blog shared by Michael Berry. Actually, the name is Tejas Chocolate Craftory. Thats right, it is half BBQ joint, and half chocolate factory. I arrived right after 12:00, lunch time. I grabbed a menu and waited my turn to order. I had just about made up my mind when I got to the front and read the daily special: A house-smoked pastrami ruben on rye, with Shiner Bock sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and Russian dressing. I couldn't pass it up.
I don't believe I have ever had pastrami made in Texas. At first, I thought it would be just eating a brisket ruben, but you could definitely tell it was pastrami. But the star of the show was the Shiner Bock Kraut. It was more like a compote. Imagine carmelized onions and cabbage that just melts in your mouth. I wished they served it as a side dish.
I did not make it to try the chocolate on this journey, but look forward to doing so soon on my next trip back. Luckily, I have a couple of jobs in the area, so I am in Tomball at least twice a week.
On a separate note, I have an unopened bottle of Rowan's Creek Bourbon. I am not a shooter, but do like a cocktail. Any suggestions as to what I should make?
Have a good weekend everyone!! Carti-gras is happening in our neighborhood.
