Texas barbecue is getting a halal makeover
FORT WORTH, Texas (RNS) — Early Saturday morning, a long line formed outside Goldee’s BBQ, a modest wooden-shack restaurant. By 9 a.m., nearly 100 eager customers had gathered, eager to sample the first annual halal barbecue feast. Thanh Huynh, a 30-year-old, had been waiting since 6:30 a.m., excited to indulge in a variety of meats and sides on the restaurant's outdoor porch.
Opened in 2020 by a group of friends, Goldee’s BBQ quickly became a top rated barbecue spot in Texas, earning the No.1 rating from Texas Monthly and a Michelin Bib Gourmand award. The restaurant serves classics like pork belly, sausage, and ribs, but also offers halal brisket, turkey, and lamb, all raised and butchered according to Islamic guidelines.
As Republican leaders target Texas’ growing Muslim communities, halal barbecue joints like Goldee’s are thriving.
