Top level BBQ. The Pit Room opened in 2016 in Montrose, on Richmond Avenue, and got the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2025. Two 500-gallon barrel smokers, three kinds of sausage made in house every day and, above all, tortillas made with brisket fat. You order in line at the counter: meat first, then sides as you move down the line. I went with Tommaso C. and Gabriele G. to close the Georgia, Louisiana, Texas roadtrip: we started in Atlanta and flew out of Houston. Fun fact: this was the dinner before the drama of the Motel with a criminal record. Who knows, knows.
