We send a great amount of appreciation to many in Houston this past weekend for their hospitality.

With over 40,000 people expecting a four-store elimination match to see which tobacco store is champion of DeKalb County, three of those competitors didn’t show up. Which one did? If you guessed Best In The Smoker’s World, you are correct.

We have a few places to thank in Houston for hosting a few of us who met up together for the weekend. Mia Bella Trattoria, Guadalajara Del Centro (amazing fajitas), McCormick and Schmick’s, House of Blues for their great burgers and III Forks Steakhouse. We appreciate all of you putting up with us. We will see you in the future.
