As one of Texas’s major cities, Dallas is a great place to enjoy some excellent barbecued meats, a top highlight of Southern US cooking. In particular, the Bedford Blues & BBQ Festival, held every year during Labor Day Weekend, is the perfect occasion to taste some succulent roasted meats in the company of another 20,000 people. The ingredient that makes this event special is the combination of barbecue with blues and rock music: some 20 different musical acts will alternate on two stages to entertain the audience of foodies in Bedford, a metroplex midway between Dallas and Fort Worth. However, don’t let the music distract you from the epic Battle of the BBQ, which will establish the best professional BBQ vendors among those participating.
