TRUTH BARBECUE TO OPEN HOUSTON LOCATION

  

Brenham’s Truth Barbecue has signed a deal to open a second location in Houston. According to the Houston Chronicle, Truth Barbecue owner and pitmaster Leonard Botello IV has agreed to partner with Houston restaurateur Johnny Carrabba. Carrabba operates several eateries in Houston including two of his namesake Italian restaurants. The Truth Barbecue operation in Brenham, although only 2 years old, was ranked in the top 10 barbecue locations in the state by Texas Monthly Magazine.

Truth Bar-B-Q owner Botello operated his family’s restaurant in Lake Jackson before opening his barbecue restaurant in Brenham. Truth Barbecue is only open Thursdays through Sunday and the line of customers often stretches out to the road at their location just west of Brenham. No site has yet been named for the Houston restaurant, other than it will be inside the 610 loop.
