Dallas sausage fest
With humor and insight, Hobbes (who recently announced he was leaving his other popular podcast, You’re Wrong About) and Gordon (a columnist for Self and author of 2020’s What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat) trace Hollis’s trajectory, starting with her Pentecostal upbringing in Weedpatch, California, through this year’s controversy, which hasn’t ended her career as a guru by any means but definitely damaged her brand. Hollis suddenly lost tens of thousands of followers, just a month before she was scheduled to begin her next national tour of Rise women’s conferences in her new hometown.

In the caption below, she listed those women: Harriet Tubman, Oprah Winfrey, Malala Yousafzai, and Frida Kahlo, among others (her subsequent apology also gets the full Maintenance Phase treatment). When a viewer criticized her for being unrelatable, Hollis doubled down, brazenly responding via a TikTok video: “Literally every woman I admire in history was unrelatable,” she snaps. Hollis, you might recall, earlier this year watched her self-made world implode not long after a livestream in which she commented that she had a housekeeper who cleaned the toilets twice a week. Bring a blanket or folding chairs, and grab a spot to catch the bands while chowing through the holy trinity of brisket, sausage, and ribs. The latter gets attendees one plate of barbecue, a cup, and two drink tokens. Tickets range from $15 (for drinks only) to $40. On Saturday, November 6, gates open to the public at noon and Blues, Bandits & BBQ continues through 6 p.m., with musical entertainment, beer, and judging by food industry folks and community leaders. The competitors will set up tents and light campfires while tending to their pits overnight. After the show, prep kicks off for the next day’s main event.įifteen barbecue teams will go head-to-head in four categories: chicken, sausage, ribs, and brisket. “It’s another reason to drink at night in the park,” says Go Oak Cliff partner Jimmy Contreras with a chuckle. This year’s gathering at Kidd Springs Park begins Friday evening with a concert-from a blues band, of course. It’s also grown from one day of barbecue to two. Established ten years ago by Dallas neighborhood booster organization Go Oak Cliff as a family-friendly competition featuring local amateur pitmasters, the event now attracts contestants from across North Texas. In the wake of the new Texas Monthly Top 50 barbecue joints list comes the annual Blues, Bandits & BBQ festival. In the Texas Monthly Recommends series, Texas Monthly writers, editors, photographers, and producers offer up their favorite recent culture discoveries from the great state of Texas.
