Apple News article

quote:

The restaurant serves classic Texas barbecue like craft pork belly, sausage and ribs. But it also offers halal brisket, turkey and lamb — meat raised and butchered in accordance with Islamic guidelines...

Muslim pitmasters are gaining recognition for putting their own spin on one of Texas’ most iconic culinary traditions...

“At least a dozen barbecue spots now serve halal meats, including Yearby’s Barbecue & Waterice, run by Black Muslim couple CJ and Sabrina Henley, soon-to-be in Plano , and Levant Mediterranean BBQ, a restaurant with locations in Houston and Frisco and whose all-beef menu includes a brisket shawarma sandwich…

“Halal food is American food,” said Mustafa, who is based in Seattle. “It belongs on your plate. It belongs in the casual chat. It belongs in hip hop tracks. It’s the most American thing there is.”



What a crock of shite. Load of propaganda hogwash.

Texas better get our shite together

I don't really see how this is a problem

I get that the influx of Muslims is problematic. A restaurant that offers Halal options? Not even the least bit concerning. There are Halal meat markets all over the country. Why is this one TX BBQ place such an abomination to you?

It’s funny how you never see a problem with Muslims but you complain about Trump 247.

Don’t see how a Muslim will eat at a place that cooks pork.
One that owned a bunch of grocery stores had a couple hundred head of sheep shipped in from Texas, and the slaughterhouse could not work on pigs at all that day. Eventually, he threatened to stop bringing sheep there if they handled any pigs at all, so they acquiesced. But not really, they did the pigs in secret.

Pretty sure Muslims are against homosexuality but that doesn’t stop them from doing it

If you don’t see this as absurd nonsense, then you have no sense.

Of course halal food exists in the USA, no one is saying that is even a problem or the problem. It’s the blatant propaganda that is shoved in our faces every minute of every day. The propaganda trying to get Americans to accept the mass migration of non-western culture is somehow good for America and western culture as a whole.

Starting to think the guy is Muslim or his boyfriend is the way he melts about Trump, this war, and how he supports Muslims.

Good bet half that sausage is the local dogs that have gone missing...

That's not 'Texas' Barbecue at all. That's a headline. Texas doesn't give a frick if some "Muslim pitmaster" is making headway.

Go to a muslim country and see if you can find a BBQ place that has sliced sausage on the menu. Let me know how that works out.

You DO know that Halal food isn’t a style or flavor or “spin” on cuisine, right?

Let’s do some comparisons… Mexican? Peppers and cumin. Japanese? Seafood, oyster sauce, fresh. Italian? Tomato sauces, oregano, parsley. Thai? Spicy and peanuts. Indian? Curry…

What is halal? It’s not a flavor profile or regional style, it’s ritualistic sacrifice to a demon.

If a Muslim owns a restaurant he can serve whatever he wants. If a Kafir owns a restaurant same thing.

Just wondering, does the local Chinese, Greek, German, Italian resturant bother you this much?

Smoked/grilled foods are not exclusive to Texas.

If they are here legally and have all the proper permitts to operate, what do you want Texas to do about it?

Write Texas a law that sticks, grab your guns and run them out by God.
