It’s a special BBQ edition of What’s Eric Eating this week as Texas Monthly released their list for the Top 50 Barbecue joints in Texas. To help breakdown the list CultureMap Food Editor and host Eric Sandler is joined by the cofounder of the Houston Barbecue Festival Michael Fulmer. The guys give their takes on the list, why the list is important, who finished where, what it takes to make the list, and look at the list from both the Houston and statewide perspectives.

Eric and Michael are then joined by Will and Nichole Buckman of CorkScrew BBQ to discuss their restaurant finishing 7th on the list, the reaction they’ve gotten since the news broke, how they’ve gotten better since the last time they were on Texas Monthly's top 50 list, their commitment to their restaurant, whether they would ever expand, the trends in the bbq scene, and much more!
