Meatheads have clocked disproportionate miles to NoHo just to get
elbow-deep in authentic Texas-style barbecue. None of the
proteins—tri-tip, sausage links, chicken breast and the like—sees a
direct flame or is baked in an oven. It’s all 100 percent slow-smoked
in a 3400-pound, custom-made-in-the- heart-of-Texas steel pit for up to
12 hours. The excellent sauce is tomato-based (natch) with an even more
excellent spicy option. And Swinging Door’s dessert menu takes the
cake: deep-fried Twinkies, y’all.
