Texas-Sized Taste: Three Austin Spots That Prove Big Reigns Supreme
MeesterKeem’s got a knack for off-the-wall food adventures, and if you haven’t learned that by now, then the latest episode of Foodbeast World Tour in Austin, Texas should solidify that rep for you.
They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and this episode holds that adage true, as we see Keem pull up to three spots in Austin that are big in flavor and fun.
BLACK’S BBQ
First stop takes us to Black’s BBQ, which is Texas’ oldest barbecue joint owned by the same family. Through four generations of pitmasters, Black’s has been able to uphold true Texas barbecue since its humble beginnings in Lockhard, TX in 1932. Watch MeesterKeem manhandle a massive beef rib from there that’s juicier than today’s gossip.
Via313 Pizza
Detroit-style pizza on a list that’s meant to shout out Texas? Yup. But for those not familiar with it, Detroit-style pizza is a rectangular rebel with sauce on top, baked in a heavy pan straight out of the 1940s auto scene. Its focaccia-esque dough gets golden crunchy, while cheese boldly ventures to the edges. Sauce swoops in fashionably late, ensuring a flawless bake that brings crispy joy to your fingertips. Via313’s immense popularity in Austin has garnered big praise from locals and national media alike, creating a Texas-sized boom in the pizzeria’s growth. Don’t be surprised if the Via313 empire makes it way near you soon.
Big Top Candy Shop
Big Top Candy Shop in Austin, Texas, is a flavor-packed haven bursting with immense personality. Step into this narrow yet expansive store brimming with candies galore and you’ll be immersed in circus-themed decor that transports you to a whimsical world. This place offers local, classic, and modern candies, plus ice cream. At the counter, dive into artisanal treats exploding with dynamic flavors and a vibe that’s larger than life, dripping with joy and wonder. You want big?
