Texas BBQ in the Orange Belt

Overview

Nobody wants to go to Mexico for Texas-style BBQ! Or do they? For the first time ever in the prestigious Houston Rodeo BBQ competition, a Mexican from Linares placed third. Luis Rivas is bringing all that flavor home with his BBQ restaurant Riv’s. Pati visits the restaurant to taste the difference between carne asada and ‘Texas-style’ BBQ. Then she visits his family’s orange grove where she learns about the “Orange Belt,” the nickname for this part of Mexico known for its orange exports. Riv invites all his family and some friends over for a carne asada on his massive grill setup. Then Pati is off to learn how the original Gloria’s candies are made.
