Somewhere in the mid-to-late 2010s, L.A. s barbecue scene began popping in a new way. Woody s and Phillips and Bludso s and JR s were established local classics. Now, a new generation discovered smoked meat. Instead of opening restaurants, they were cooking low and slow in their yards, selling over Instagram and putting an Angeleno spin on their spices. This hybrid style is especially prominent in East L.A., where Alan Cruz from A s BBQ dishes out his Chicano Soul BBQ, stirring chilis into mac and cheese, glazing baby back ribs with tamarindo and rubbing cubes of pork belly with his personal al pastor spice blend. Cruz is not alone compatriots Ragtop Fern s, Beatdown BBQ and East LA BBQ Company are painting with a similar palette but his creative versions of everything from smoked cochinita pibil to chipotle barbecued beans are among the most intriguing and best-executed versions around.

March has once again served as an annual opportunity to celebrate the contributions of women to American culture and history.
In recognition of the tireless effort of women in the Central Texas hospitality industry, below is a list of local restaurants owned and/or operated primarily by women.

If we’re missing one of your favorites, please email me at modam@statesman.com.

But given that luxury hotels, private clubs, villas with swimming pools, vast estates and private boxes at racetracks are all much of a muchness, and that, in this sense, the privileged folk of the world form one big family partaking in the same elitist culture and speaking one same language, Swiss banker Yvan De Wiel (
