The Great Texas BBQ List Drought

It's like the BBQ Bible, the holy grail of smoked meats. But here's the burning question: How often does this delicious piece of literary gold actually grace our bookshelves?

| How Often Does Texas Monthly Bbq List Come Out |
A Quadrennial Feast (or Famine)
Let's get straight to the point: the Texas Monthly BBQ list is a quadrennial event. That means it comes out every four years. Four years. Can you believe it? That's like waiting for a Halley's Comet of brisket and beans! It's enough to make a grown man (or woman) weep tears of smoky joy (or frustration).
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.
I mean, think about it. Four years is a long time in the BBQ world. New joints are popping up left and right, pitmasters are perfecting their craft, and our taste buds are evolving. So, by the time that list rolls around, is it even relevant anymore? It's like trying to predict the next World Cup champion four years in advance. Sure, you can make an educated guess, but things change.
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
The Anticipation is Killing Me (Slowly)
The lead-up to the Texas Monthly BBQ List is a rollercoaster of emotions. There's the initial excitement: "It's almost time! My favorite joint is gonna be number one, I just know it!" Then comes the doubt: "Wait, what if my go-to place doesn't make the list? My life will be ruined." And finally, there's the obsessive checking of Texas Monthly's website, refreshing every five minutes, hoping for an early release. It's a full-blown addiction, people.
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
