Family Beef
In Texas’ state-designated BBQ capital, two legendary Lockhart families run the town’s most iconic barbecue joints. Decades of interfamily feuds split them apart, with tensions still smoldering, and one conflict burning hotter than ever. Now, these famed establishments face a new challenge: reclaiming their spots on the coveted Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ list, all while contending with a rising star shaking up the scene. This feature-length documentary explores the town’s well-seasoned culture, sizzling BBQ ecosystem, and the family rivalries that have marinated in Lockhart lore for generations.
