WORDS AND PHOTO BY JONAS LARSSON

The food at Big John’s Texas BBQ is better than anything I had eaten for a long time. Not since I was in Texas had I had such beautifully perfect pulled pork or brisket. The service— even better. Not soon after sitting down and opening my computer was there a server at the ready with the Wi-Fi password. Big John is situated perfectly in the small desert town of Page, nestled in a former gas station, it is now transformed into a BBQ oasis. We sit outside in the warm air as the place begins to fill up. There isn’t a whole lot to say about Page, but that’s not the point, location is everything. Because around Page lies some of the most pristine desert environments I have seen, and that alone is worth staying for a few days. You can even go trout fishing back behind the gigantic Glen Canyon Dam.
