Texas Joe's Slow Smoked Meats

Texas Joe's Slow Smoked Meats

Texas Joe only uses choice cuts of prime British Silverside and fresh natural ingredients. And it ain’t Texas ‘style’ or Texas ‘flavoured’, it’s the real deal. No preservatives, no additives and no surprises. Just great tasting jerky - jerky like it ought to be.

Texas Joe's Smoked Meats review – superlative barbecue hidden ...

There is some justice in this world though – Texas Joe’s, Dragon’s Den veteran and purveyor of beef jerky, has finally settled down in a restaurant a short walk from London Bridge station behind the Guy’s Hospital complex.

Like London’s other superlative barbecue restaurant, Texas Joe’s hasn’t sat on its laurels – its brisket is even better than it was before.

The supple bark was subtly woody and moreish, while the exceptionally tender rib meat was slick with rendered fat – the occasional seam and chunk of extant fat added more unctuous joy.

Pork spare ribs, neatly trimmed in a St Louis-style cut, had a dense peppery bark layered on top of tender, moist meat.

This dish, along with the beef short rib, easily allow Texas Joe’s to hold on to its title of best American-style barbecue in the capital.

From Texas-born entrepreneur Joe Walters, the 70-cover Texas Joe’s Slow Smoked Meats site will have a 500-pound (226 kilos) capacity rotisserie, which will help create the menu of traditional, ‘low and slow’ smoked meats and cuts.

Décor-wise, everything will be directly inspired by Texas, with the menus printed in the style of a 1936 Texan newspaper, named The Big Smoke Signal, featuring real articles from Texan journalists such as Daniel Vaughn, BBQ editor at Texas Monthly.

The interior design will also take inspiration from ‘backroad BBQ joints’, with vintage or handmade furniture, a separate bar area serving US bourbons, as well as Texan Lone Star lager, and beers from Camden Town and Kernal Brewery in Bermondsey.

Founder Walters said: “At Texas Joe’s we’re bringing Londoners a true taste of authentic Texan BBQ – the kind of rich, flavoursome, slow smoked meats that I grew up eating.

Born and educated in Texas, Walters began his hospitality career in Los Angeles, before moving to London and starting the Original Jerky Company in 2011, selling traditional Texas-style beef jerky in supermarkets.

Michael Deacon reviews Texas Joe's Slow Smoked Meats ...

com Price: Dinner for two: About £50 without alcohol Although it’s now almost 15 years since the days when I subsisted exclusively on Chow Mein Pot Noodles and Pukka-Pies, I still question the logic of clean eating.

Also: let’s say that scrupulously healthy eating adds 10 years to your life.

Well, it won’t be an extra 10 years of being 18, or 25; the  extra 10 will simply get added on at the end.

It’s an extra 10 years of being old.

Nothing wrong with being old, obviously, but if I have to give up all the unhealthy food I enjoy in order to add 10 years to my life, then I want it to be an extra 10 years of being young, so that I can make the most use of them.

The big thing at this Texan BBQ joint is authenticity.

Add in unusual sides like bone marrow or cheese-stuffed, bacon-wrapped jalapeños and, basically, it looks as Texan as rodeo dudes trying to sit on angry cows.

Which begs the question: if it’s ok to compromise your ‘authenticity’, why not do it at the right points?

All in all, Texas Joe’s is a good BBQ restaurant – but it could have been a great one.
