Texas Tom’s BBQ, Bakery, Food by Pop-up and Delivery

Food looks great. Delivers island-wide.

I can’t seem to pull a Facebook link.

Texas Tom’s is the only properly smoked American BBQ I’ve ever tasted in Taiwan, but he only does pop ups.

Texas Tom’s is the real deal. (He only does popups, no restaurant.) Baba Kevin’s and Ed’s Diner don’t even seem to me like they are smoked. Mighty Quinn’s is decent. Haven’t tried Bogart’s yet but have heard it’s dry.

At Craft pop-up, had the quiche and the pasta both yum.

Friday nights at Craft is BBQ meat pop-up…

we meant to go, but forgot the time window. Good to know about Friday nights though.

Obviously this information about last night is too late now, but reminding forumosans that Texas Tom’s does semi-regular pop-ups next to Crafted in Maji Square. (Not every week, as I discovered to some disappointment a while back.)

Nope, I didn’t attend; I was on my bike at 4:30pm in the area and thought “Oh hey, are they doing that tonight? And can I grab dinner there?” But the 6:30pm start didn’t work for me.

(And a pointless much-repeated gripe: boy I wish restaurants went back to having websites. I haven’t logged into Facebook in years, and refuse to do so, which means accessing restaurant info is a hassle.)

Wanted dinner at 4:30 PM, eh? That’s gonna make options limited anywhere.

I had the pork last night. Good stuff.

Eh, 5:30 could have worked for me, and that’s what I was looking for. But based on where I was, I couldn’t think of a fun cycling route that’d have me back in the area two+ hours later. And in many cases “starting at 6:30pm” doesn’t really mean starting at 6:30pm, although I have no idea what’s the case here.

Had the brisket last night, it was good. Wished the bbq sauce was a bit thicker, other than that i definitely recommend

Totally agree.

Google Maps is where it’s at for restaurant info. I realize that doesn’t do much good for a pop-up chef like Tom with no physical restaurant location, but he’s still at Crafted nearly every Friday evening.
