What is Premiumization in Texas BBQ?
In recent years, the trend of premiumization has swept across the food industry, and BBQ is no exception. Premiumization refers to the elevation of traditional foods through the use of higher-quality ingredients, artisanal processes, and often, more expensive cuts of meat. While some BBQ fans may associate the craft with simplicity and affordability, premium BBQ has proven that splurging on the right cuts can take your BBQ experience to a whole new level.
At Truth BBQ, the focus is on providing the best of both worlds: authentic Texas BBQ with a commitment to high-quality, often expensive, cuts of meat like Wagyu brisket and prime beef ribs. By using these top-tier ingredients, Leonard Botello IV and his team bring a luxurious touch to traditional BBQ, creating a dining experience that is worth every penny.
What Makes Premium Cuts Like Wagyu Brisket Special?
Wagyu beef has gained international fame for its marbling, which refers to the intramuscular fat that runs through the meat. This marbling makes Wagyu beef particularly tender and flavorful, elevating it beyond the taste and texture of standard beef cuts. When smoked low and slow, as it is at Truth BBQ, Wagyu brisket becomes a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
The rich fat content in Wagyu brisket renders beautifully during the smoking process, creating a luxurious texture that you won’t find in regular brisket. The end result is a piece of meat that is tender, juicy, and packed with flavor — making it an ideal choice for BBQ enthusiasts who are looking for the best of the best.

Why Are Premium Pork Ribs Worth It?
Not all pork ribs are created equal, and when you’re aiming for true BBQ excellence, premium cuts make all the difference. At Truth BBQ, we select our pork ribs with care, focusing on cuts that offer the perfect balance of meatiness, marbling, and tenderness.
Our ribs have just the right amount of intramuscular fat, which melts down low and slow to create a juicy, flavorful bite with every rib. The texture is tender but with just enough structure to give you that satisfying pull from the bone.
Each rack is slow-smoked over Post Oak wood, letting the natural flavor of the pork shine while soaking in just the right amount of Texas-style smoke. The result? A rib that’s sweet, smoky, and boldly seasoned — everything great BBQ should be.
While premium pork ribs might come at a slightly higher price, the experience speaks for itself. Whether it’s a celebration or just a day you’re craving the real thing, these ribs are well worth the bite.
