Letter from the Editors THE TEXAS PIT

Dear readers,

Welcome to The Texas Pit, a magazine meant to introduce you to all of the wonders of Texas BBQ. You will be exploring the variety of BBQ around Texas and the different local pitmasters around the state. All of our editors focused on a different topic that focused on the rich culture of Texas BBQ to explore and find out more about. We have created entertaining graphics for you to learn about the variety of Texas BBQ and its uniqueness. We created these graphics on programs such as InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. We all did deep research on the topics we have covered and have had meaningful conversations with trained pitmasters, and owners of BBQ food trucks and restaurants on their BBQ success in Texas.

Days of dedication, hard work, and planning were put forward by all editors to form the magazine that you are currently reading. The making of our magazine felt everlasting and tedious but helped us acquire skills that we will forever remember and memories we will cherish.

The Texas Pit is a combination of our passion and interest in Texas BBQ and its uniqueness. We are extremely excited to present to you an unforgettable experience around Texas and its original cuisine.

Sincerely,
