This week we visit Snow’s BBQ in Lexington, Texas, the home of BBQ Hall of Famer, 84-year old female pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz. My sidekick-of-the-day is Belle Crouch, who may be Tootsie’s #1 fan, and her husband Jack.

Owner Kerry Bexley reopened Snow’s BBQ in March 2003 once he got Tootsie to agree to join him. Open only on Saturdays starting at 8:00 am, the line forms very early and they sell out quickly.
Undoubtedly, Snow’s is the most famous thing in the small town of about 1,000 residents. When Texas Monthly surprisingly named Snow’s as the #1 BBQ joint in Texas in 2017, it kicked things up a notch or two.
