Hurtado BBQ, Arlington 1/13/25

 

sampled 1/13/25

Finding craft BBQ on a Monday can be tough since many craft joints are only open on select days.  Usually, Monday and Tuesday are not one of those days.  Hurtado is an exception, so when one of my friends wanted to "meat up" on a Monday, I asked if he would mind driving to Arlington.  I think after this amazing meal he will be driving to Arlington more often.

Hurtardo Barbecue, Arlington 1/5/25

 

sampled 1/5/25 at 11 am

There was a cold north wind blowing so we showed up about 5 minutes before they opened at 11 am.  There were 6 folks in line in front of us but we didn't have long to wait.  They opened right on time and the food was awesome as always.  I grabbed my usual Texas Trinity, 4 twinkies and half a pound of the pork belly burnt ends.  The pork belly burnt ends were Green's quality and I polished off half a pound with my meal.  My-T-Fine eatin'.

I was a little reluctant to go today due to the fact a certain football team was playing very close by.  We drove past several parking lots with their $40 signs out front.  I was concerned they might be very crowded and we might have a tough time finding a spot, but there were no problems.  In fact it seemed most of their business today was to-go, so we had no problems getting a seat in their small dining room.  

I thought long and hard about getting some more pork belly burnt ends to go, but we still have a bunch of smoked pork loin in the fridge.  Next time!
