Happy Retirement to Don Green

Today was the last day for Green's Texas Bar-B-Que in Euless.  A sad day for BBQ lovers but we wish Don the happiest of retirements and many wonderful bike rides.

As I was at Zavala's for our Xmas get-together, my Mrs. and our friend John from San Angelo did the honors of our last order from Green's.  They were 15th in line at 10:30 and report that they came down the line passing out a free brisket biscuit to everyone in the line.  The also promised they would NOT run out of them today!  They did run out of twinkies, just before my wife got to order, but she did scoop me up some pork belly bites and some brisket biscuits to go.  Thanks sweetie!  Thanks to John for the pix.

I swung by after our "meating" at Zavala's and found a healthy line waiting for their last taste of Green's.  Now that's the way to end a long run of great BBQ.  All the best to Don Green!

Oh, and if you look at his facebook page today, he posted a note saying he will miss seeing the line of people waiting for his food and posted a photo to go with.  That's me in the front of the line in that photo.  :)  A place I was happy to be, many times in the past, but never again.  :(

Zavala's BBQ, Grand Prairie 12/6/25

sampled around 11 am

We usually have a get-together around Xmas with some friends and usually it's at a BBQ place.  This year we chose Zavala's in Grand Prairie and it proved to be an excellent choice.  Nestled between Brisket Lane and Sloppy Juan Drive, we had been there several times before so we knew it would be excellent.  I was third in line and Scott and our other friends showed up shortly after.  I think there were about 10 in line when they opened at 11 am.

I grabbed my usual Texas Trinity and added a couple of twinkies.

Everything was excellent, as it usually is, and we had a nice visit before doing our annual Xmas exchange.  Everything goes better with BBQ, especially good friends!
