BBQ Spotlight: Texas Outlaw BBQ

Texas Outlaw BBQ is the only team in the world to win Reno, Nevada's coveted "Best in the West" first-place ribs three times and has been featured on the Food Network. Their BBQ is never pre-cooked, always slow-cooked using premium meat, spices, sauce, and wood. We feel our old-fashioned, labor-intensive approach to BBQ has made us a crowd favorite, but as my grandmother always said, "self brag is half scandal," but you be the judge.

Comment below your favorite Pepsi product that you will surely be enjoying this weekend at Jazz & Rib Fest? Stop by any of our 6 beverage locations throughout the festival to sip, sip, hooray! 🎷🎶🥤
