KG BBQ

By Austin Heberden

It’s rare to experience a meal that completely redirects the trajectory of your life. But that is exactly what happened when Cairo-native Kareem El-Gayesh first traveled to Austin, and had his first taste of world-renowned Texas barbecue.

Years later, his self-titled food truck emerged blending elements of traditional Middle-eastern food with classic barbecue techniques. The result is a unique combination of flavors that certifies the “Egyptian Cowboy” as one of Austin’s most distinctive pit masters.

No matter what you opt for, KG Barbecue’s plates arrive bursting with vibrant colors and a tasting experience well worth the wait. Just make sure you remember your sunscreen before hopping in line.
