The Wong Brothers and Pitmaster Quy Hoang Showcase Their James Beard Award–Nominated Houston Barbecue Spot

New Yorkers are about to get a taste of Houston as Blood Bros. BBQ brings their acclaimed Bellaire, Texas’s smokey goodness up north. Expect a menu that blends Southeast Texas barbecue with the culinary influences of Houston’s rich multicultural landscape—Vietnamese, Chinese, Mexican, Cajun, and more—reimagined through smoke, fire, and the Blood Bros. way.

Founded by three childhood friends from Alief, Texas, Blood Bros. started with humble beginnings as backyard hangouts with good friends, good beer, and, of course, delicious barbecue. That gathering grew into a local phenomenon that spawned more pop-ups with a menu fueled by Houston’s cornucopia of cultures. In 2018, they opened a brick-and-mortar location and have since earned a James Beard nomination in 2022, a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and a spot on the New York Times 50 Best Restaurants list.

Come for a night of bold barbecue, big fun, and a whole lot of Houston heart.
