Blood Bros. bbq
ABOUT
In 2013, three childhood friends from Alief, Texas decided to share their backyard BBQ with the masses. Their common love for good friends, good beer, and good BBQ would be featured through monthly pop-ups and barbecue festivals throughout Houston. These events would lead to a cult-like following that demanded a brick and mortar. Five years later in 2018, they succumbed to their fan’s wishes and opened up a restaurant in Bellaire, Texas. Since then, they’ve been featured in multiple national as well as international publications and television programs. They’ve also been named to the New York Times 50 Best Restaurants 2021, Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Joints 2021, James Beard Finalist for Best Chef: Texas 2022, and most recently a Michelin Bib Gourmand 2024.

What People are saying…
Indeed, the Texas trinity at Blood Bros. BBQ is one of the best versions in the city. But if you look closely, you’ll see (and taste and smell) the story of Houston barbecue. The bark on the brisket isn’t just salt and pepper but includes spices that Hoang grew up with in Chinatown. The pork ribs — a canonical dish of the African-American tradition of Houston barbecue — are meaty and fragrant with a spicy/sweet rub. And the soon-to-be-on-the-menu green curry boudin is a throwback to the long Creole tradition in the Bayou City.
Far from being a static cuisine, Houston barbecue continues to change and evolve. We are fortunate to live in a city where barbecue combines history and tradition with contemporary techniques. Robin, Terry, Quy and their partners have embraced Texas and Houston barbecue traditions while expanding and reinterpreting them. It’s another chapter in our city’s delicious barbecue story. – J.C.

- ☆☆ ‘Nhậu’ is poetically described as ‘the art of eating and drinking, for no particular purpose’ and it is also known as a national pastime in Vietnam.‘Quán nhậu’ is a place where everybody comes to meet their friends, to drink beer and to simply enjoy life. It doesn’t have to be someone’s birthday. It doesn’t have to be a national holiday. It could be a random night in the week and somebody just wants to eat, drink and have fun. ~ Jonathan Pham ☆☆
