On any given day you can Google "BBQ in Texas" and more than 32 million results will pop up in your browser. We're barbecue people in Texas (some of us are barbeque people instead). In Denton though, we’ve got a handful of great places smoking meat with the best of 'em. In town we have a few favorites, but just on the outskirts of town, we have a new place to stop when we make the long drive between Southlake’s Trader Joe’s and home.

10 REASONS TO LOVE DRUG EMPORIUM
As we often bemoan the absence of a Trader Joe’s and a Central Market or HEB - let’s be real - Denton is chock full of grocery stores.
