Productivity on the day to day running of this site is bound to taper off as I'm currently penning 2 chapters per week on my coming treatise on Texas barbecue.

This is going to involve quite a bit of travel around Central Texas as I uncover and revisit 50 barbecue restaurants in the next few months. It's exciting but also exhausting.

Without further ado. Here are the top 5 articles we posted this week. As always determined by page views.
