La Traila Barbecue

To bring Texas-style bbq to the remote suburbs, Austin pitmaster Mel Rodriguez hooks up with Buffalo Bills wideout Isaiah McKenzie.

Don’t worry about the distance: If this location were in Wynwood or Brickell, the line would be longer than the distance from your location to Miami Lakes. Rodriguez is what we’d refer to as the Josh Allen of brisket smoking, but as far as we’re aware, he’s still unbeaten when it comes to Kansas City pitmasters.

However, he is the best in the business at slow smoking brisket, and for the Instagram hit Brisket Sundae, he has cleverly piled it with baked beans, creamed corn, and queso fresco. He also excels at reusing food waste, using the leftover pieces of meat to make one of Miami’s best burgers.
