Today, San Antonio displays the best range of barbecue in the city’s history—and it’s truly exciting to experience. Meats by the pound and classic two- and three-meat platters are in good hands, while the bucket-list-worthy options also include inventive sandwiches, tacos and unusual combinations, like brisket with green curry, pork sausage made with Oaxaca cheese and chili serrano, and banana pudding with buñuelos. The dozens of pitmasters and chefs shaping the Alamo City’s flavor are worthy of support, so get out there and indulge in the wonderful alchemy of smoke and meat (plus elote, housemade pickles, big red cake and plenty of cobbler).
