RESTAURANT NEWS


Openings

Lockhart Smokehouse will open a second location in Plano by the end of 2013. The restaurant takes its ’cue --- and its name --- from the barbecue capital of Texas, saving Dallasites the burden of making the four-hour drive to Lockhart to get great barbecue. They burn Texas post oak inside a Bewley smoker where they smoke brisket, ribs, sausage and prime rib. You order by the pound and get it served the old-fashioned way: plopped in a heap on butcher paper, with no fork and no sauce.
