e recently visited with one of our oldest Foodie Friday pals, Allen Lockett, of Fat Cow BBQ - who was one of our original Foodie Friday features back in 2014. We (and everyone else) love going to see Allen because he always has us laughing and always makes sure we are fed until our heart’s, and stomach’s, content.

He and his wife, Pam, are what you might call a barbecue-restaurant “dream team.” He’s a pro when it comes to preparing and smoking all the meats, and she’s an all-star at whipping up delicious sides and desserts based on family recipes. If you’ve never been to Fat Cow BBQ before, we’ll give you a brief history lesson on how Allen got his start in the restaurant business. While working in another industry full-time, Allen began cooking up barbecue in his garage and bringing it into the office for events. His co-workers quickly fell in love with his cooking and before he knew it, he was operating a fullblown catering business out of his garage.
As most wives could relate to, Pam grew tired of having a catering business take over her house, so told Allen he needed to go open up a storefront where he could serve his food to more people. And so, in October 2010, Fat Cow BBQ was born in Lewisville, Texas and they’ve been a local barbecue favorite ever since! Before we even talk about all of Allen’s amazing cuts of smoked meat, we have to talk about one of their most famous menu items - the Fat Japs which are smoked jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon. I could eat about 10 of these in 1 sitting. We never leave Fat Cow BBQ without eating some of their Baby Back Ribs, sliced brisket, smoked chicken, or pulled pork. You won’t find any fillers or fat in their meats, and they are perfectly tender and flavorful.
some of Pam’s signature recipes come in like her mother’s potato salad recipe, their cole slaw, and the rich and creamy mac ‘n cheese. When you visit Fat Cow BBQ, you’ll feel like you’re at a fun backyard barbecue with all of your closest friends, and Allen and Pam will instantly feel like the best of friends. So give Fat Cow BBQ a try! Before you know it, you’ll become raving fans just like us!
But what’s a barbecue restaurant without some amazing sides? And that’s where
