This is how you make barbecue in Central Texas:
And this is where it comes from:
So how do you fit all that here?:
In July 2010, Bethesda-native Marc Glosserman proposes to bring his wildly successful Central Texas–style Chelsea barbecue joint Hill Country to Penn Quarter. Will it work?

But on the other hand, the fusillade of tweets that can be reasonably expected to result from this post might instruct Fojol about a variety of destinations that want to be blessed by their cart, leading them to see that a robust lunch business can be yielded and we can all get our Fojolia. Yet that conjecture still makes posting a risky strategy if the desired result is me having my Fojol today. But is the prospect of Fojol yields in the future — a potentially recursive phenomenon — more valuable than Fojol yields on any given day? Gaming out lunch is a knife’s-edge exercise.
