    Middle Eastern Barbecue

    A Cairo-born pitmaster works a food truck beside Oddwood Brewing, smoking meat with Middle Eastern spices—sumac, cinnamon, pomegranate—that transform Texas barbecue into something stranger and better. Lamb shoulder finished with dukkah, honey-thyme chicken thighs with yogurt, rice pudding with pistachio butter. The fusion feels lived-in, not trendy.
