​Viral England supporter Oliver Henry has shared his reflections after visiting a barbecue restaurant in Texas. Henry, who initially traveled to the United States to watch a World Cup group game, has remained in the country for the past month, and during that time he has enjoyed a series of remarkable experiences, including meeting Donald Trump and being invited to tour the White House West Wing. Now, he has been to what many are calling the top barbecue restaurant in Texas and was left deeply impressed by the experience.
Henry posted about his visit on Instagram, where he reserved high praise for the food he tasted. In his caption, he described the meal as “the best food I have ever had in my life,” adding that he “can’t describe how great it was.” He also remarked: “It’s going to be hard to go back to beans on toast after this. It really is the best food I have ever had in my life. As I say I wish I could have recorded it more, but I was just in the moment and forgot to record. Everything was just super tender and juicy. I can’t describe how great it was.”
In a similar vein, another England supporter who traveled to the United States for the World Cup has already voiced high praise for American barbecue this summer. That fan, echoing the same sentiment, described their experience with Texas barbecue as follows: “I had Texas BBQ yesterday, I had a lovely bit of brisket. Picked it up, put the sauce on it, dropped it in my mouth, melted in my mouth. It was absolutely beautiful. It’s the best beef I’ve ever had in my life.”
BBQ in the United States seems to be going down well with several of the traveling fans who are making the most of their time stateside. The enthusiasm for American barbecue among these supporters underscores the strong impression left by the cuisine on visitors during their World Cup journeys. As Henry’s positive review circulates, it adds to the growing chatter about the country’s barbecue offerings and the memorable meals that are defining their travel experiences this summer.
