Tim Hollingsworth's BBQ Eats & Drinks

The BBQ feast that Tim Hollingsworth made was a direct reflection of his origins and upbringing. According to Tim, food was a significant part of his upbringing as his parents stressed the importance of dinners shared as a family. And BBQs were a special family occasion that allowed for the family to get together in a casual, fun setting; as Tim says, "Growing up BBQ was a time we all got together to celebrate or reunite."

After spending most of his childhood in Texas, Tim's meal had Texas BBQ written all over it. As Tim says, "When I think of Texas BBQ, I think of the purist. Seasoning strictly with Salt and Pepper, and focusing on the flavor of the meat and the flavor of the smoke, which traditionally in Texas is white oak. My favorite Texas BBQ dishes or side would have to be baked beans with my mom's baked bean recipe setting that bar high. "
