Fancy some Egyptian-Texan BBQ?

Egyptian Kareem El Ghayesh is making the news in the US press this morning after his barbecue spot KG BBQ made it onto Texas Monthly’s 2025 list of top 50 barbecue spots in the state. El Ghayesh ditched his corporate job to follow his passion for BBQ and eventually opened up KG BBQ in 2022, where he blends Texas barbecue and Egyptian spices. Some of his menu items include Pomegranate Glazed Pork Ribs, Smoked Kofta, and Egyptian Baladi Salad. Check out the full list of top BBQ spots in the state on Texas Monthly’s website. You can also learn more about the chef behind it all by checking out the profile Texas Monthly ran of him a few years back.
