Since opening in 2016, this power couple has built a legendary barbecue brand: Esaul smokes the meat (especially brisket) while Grecia sweetens the deal with killer desserts. Already celebrated by James Beard, Michelin, and Texas Monthly, their victory on TV is the ultimate validation of their craft. They’re thanking fans on Instagram — and if you’re in town, head to W.W. White Road to taste the championship flavor for yourself. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
