- Michelin Guide expanded to Texas for the first time in 2024, awarding stars to four barbecue spots.
- La Barbecue, InterStellar BBQ, LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue, and Corkscrew BBQ got Michelin stars.
- I ordered food at all four spots and found Corkscrew BBQ was my favorite.
Live in Texas long enough, and you’ll inevitably become fluent in barbecue. After all, barbecue joints here feel as numerous as Starbucks locations.
So, it’s perhaps no surprise that the Michelin Guide awarded stars to four barbecue spots in Texas when it expanded to the state for the first time in 2024.
In November, la Barbecue, InterStellar BBQ, Corkscrew BBQ, and LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue each received a Michelin star. All of them are in Austin except for Corkscrew BBQ, which is located in the tiny town of Spring, just north of Houston.
As a Texas local, I visited all four Michelin-starred barbecue spots to see if they lived up to the hype.
