Bellaire BBQ Joint Makes New York Times Restaurant List

BELLAIRE, TX — A popular Bellaire barbecue joint was named to the 2021 Restaurant List by The New York Times.

Blood Bros. BBQ, located at 5425 Bellaire Blvd., was one of five Texas eateries named to the list, which was published Monday.

Since opening in 2018, Blood Bros. BBQ has never shied from experimenting with new, exciting creations, especially with an Asian influence.

"The daily changing menu at this strip mall barbecue restaurant in a Houston suburb is a product of the seemingly endless ideas for cooking Texas barbecue whirling through the brains of the owners and staff," NYT's Brett Anderson said in the story. "One day, brisket burnt-end steam buns and smoked chicken karaage. The next, char siu pork banh mi and Thai green curry boudin balls. All feature meat smoked by the pitmaster, Quy Hoang, who owns the restaurant with the brothers Terry and Robin Wong."

The owners thanked Anderson and acknowledged the contributions of the entire Blood Bros. team, including its executive sous chef and assistant pitmaster, in an Instagram post.

"At the center of it all, we just hope people leave feeling better than when they came in, whether that be from a smile from a crewmember, a bite from their meal, or maybe a song they heard from our playlist," the post stated. "Thanks again for all your support!"
