[StephStance]

I love my Texans.... glad I live here

[68shelbyallison72]

nothing like Texas BBQ

[L00peey]

u see this? black ppl make it look easy because soul food is natural for them. hail black ppl food. wont get better then that

[MobHeataEnt]

@L00peey BBQ is not black people food, its Native American. Soul Food is a mixture of European, Native, Mexican, and Creole food.

[jslbrt]

What a great lady.

[shadowknight365]

Stopped in there this past weekend and really enjoyed the ribs and sausage BBQ plate! If I had the room I'd have gone back for a second helping of each! The ribs were especially good.

[HoldUpOneTime]

not jus da city! da world craig!!

[TheFrantintin]

smokin goodness

[txjackalope]

Glad to find this video on youtube! Ate there today and it was the best BBQ we've had so far on our Texas BBQ oddysey. Sorry we didn't get to meet Annie but fortunately she trained her staff well. The brisket and ribs were fabulous!

[txpalerider]

Some of the best BBQ in Texas.

One of my favorite places to eat in college!!

[spccwby30]

I was there 5/29 as soon as I landed, went straight there and back to Houston. Sad to report Annie Ward passed away in February. What a wonderful woman. RIP.

[MobHeataEnt]

@spccwby30 Who runs that place now?

[MrBamaQ]

im gonna have to make a trip that way.

[jstrunck]

Looks like some good stuff!

[cbrandon60]

I understood every word she said. I bet all of you could understand her if she called you for dinner. Craig from Decatur TX.

[tweety252003]

Trying to find the place can someone give me the directions.

[mukwah1111]

Heck ! I'm from Canada and I understand her ! That food looks amazing. Wish I could have some locally here in KS.

[jackson9county]

Can anyone advise me how to find Miss Annie and the Zion Church?

[spccwby30]

Look it up in Huntsville... New Zion Missionary Baptist Church... it more or less sits on the outskirts of town, closer to the interstate. Travel down the highway and stick your head out your car... you'll smell it :-)

[espa46]

Being from Huntsville, I can attest to the fact that this truly is the best BBQ I have ever eaten.

[BBQTalk]

Now that was some dang fine lookin Brisket!

[copymoney]

cooking that good bbq sounds like smokeys bbq in harrisburg,pa

[banditbbq]

I think Miss Annie should be inducted into the BBQ Hall of Fame.  What a nice story!

[spccwby30]

I used to eat there quite a bit and have since moved. I make it back to Texas abount once a year and that is always a welcome side-trip... I try not to miss it, GREAT food and the atmosphere makes it fun as well.

[frio109]

I miss Texas. THERE is NO good BBQ in Michigan.

[LosAngelesFresh1]

I live in California, but my uncle used to live in Liberty, TX. And yes, I must admit, Texans must have BBQ'ing in there genes.

[frio109]

LAfresh,

I know Liberty Hill, It's north of Austin with lots of Oak and Mesquite trees.....Nice place. I went a couple of times to this dance there. I met several hot human earth women there.......That was fun......Frio, First Science Officer.

[GOP4USA]

Praise Jesus and pass the barbaque.

[keefy6]

beautiful story..

[heyheyitsaaron]

the church must get some GOOD HOLY MONEY

[gjohnson87109]

Ahh! The taste of bar-b-q from a rib shack. Better that those "Tony Romas";Rudy's; etc, and etc. I am from the south and you cant go wrong when you find a rib shack.

[2hotinaz]

ONG! It's only breakfast time here, but this is all I will be able to think about now. I really would love to taste that food. I live in AZ, and don't think there are any 'southern style' BBQ places here at all. I'll just have to dream about it.

[NRAforlife67]

Dont dream about it. Learn to cook it and share it with your friends and neighbors.

[bigastexas]

Been there many a time. It's just up the road from me. Ms. Annie is quite a character. They used to have an all-you-could eat deal for $7.99 (some years back, not sure of the price now)...they bring out a platter of brisket, sausage and ribs with side fixins...if you finish the platter the 2nd one is your choice. I usually go for ALL ribs. Man that place makes some mean ribs.

[Snowman1466]

Cook on blessed Lady, cook on.

[thetalkofanation]

Damn. Old Ma still putting work in. May the Lord praise her..I mean bless her/

[GaySingleMulatto]

That was inspirational. My sister lives on skid row in Los Angeles, and the 600 addicts in her building sit above a vacant restaurant. It'd be nice to bring some healthy, low-cost cooking in their for them to enjoy, and recover on. Makes me want to cry. (Anybody got some capital?)

Adrian (former chef)

[kiora07]

Is this place still going? Looks like a place I wanna go visit when I'm on my travels to Texas!

[Anja1246]

yep. I'm near it

[victorjl169]

Everything looks sooooooo good:) I'm gonna go outside and grill it up right now. I sure it won't be nearly as good.

[rkmugen]

Well everyone... you really don't need to understand what she's saying to know what great comfort food is. And if more than one person seems to like it, and you can definitely tell from the smiles on their faces, well... ain't nothin' much left to do but grab a plate and try it out! :)

[dvdpage]

These guys are great. I love bbq and cooking too. Thanks for this.

[jonpgonzales]

i do love some good bbq. mmmm. sounds good right about now.

[izaiya9]

She reminds me of an elderly lady I grew up around. Beautiful woman!!! @ I understand her:)

[gummi666]

Can you actually understand her? I had to have it translated and I still do not understand the words she says.

[BKHENRY1]

She says its good food and its worth the money. Thats all you need to know.

[gjohnson87109]

To gummi: Always gotta be one in the crowd! Just enjoy the comments from the "ppl" you did understand.

[gummi666]

no what I was saying is that I'd defiantly am going to eat at Annie Ward's BBQ grill house if I will be driving by. But I would need a local interpreter to understand what she'd be saying, or use the good old pencil & paper method, and hope I can understand her hand writing :)

[walterme0]

hi ppplz im australian and i cannot understand that old lady? lol

[aythrea]

Don't worry. The rest of us can't either.

[mjdeslon]

Seems like a sweet old lady to me!

[MoK86]

well im from texas and I understood every thing she said.

[hfelknor]

Florida here.......understood her perfectly...

Course I lived in Roanoke tx for 20 years......

[Chuichupachichi]

Your luckier than most people in the world, to live in one of the better countries of the world. But if you can't understand her, perhaps it just because it one of those things. It's a pure all American thing, one has to have tuned in to it and aquired a feel for it. She's a throw back to the true and honored things that once used to be the heart of the character of this country. Scenes like that are rarer today, but still theres some. She's one of the examples of what made this country good.

[kdub414]

live in Allen Tx will travel to eat

[gabs6703]

This film is worth wathing because this woman is a very good person.

[1aaronwaugh]

[jexxigirl]

I moved away from Trinity (just down the road from Huntsville) over 11 years ago and this sh ow is one of my greatest memories growing up. Thank you SO much for posting these. Means a lot!

[aka501z]

[ravinsnest]

[Aydin91]

[Ph0Steve]

[txz045]

Awesome...

[tnealski]

I used to live in Huntsville when I attended SHSU and had many a meal there. The church doesn't run the old BBQ stand any more.  But I still have those great memories. Amen

[gokats85]

They are still open. My son and I ate there just last month.

[chickengeorge1236]

great video

[4Mengineering]

mmmm rats, now i'm all hungry

[Fashnvictm]

I had to read your comment several times over. I kept reading it as "Mmmmm, rats! Now I'm hungry" (for rats). ahahaha - I think I need sleep.

[BruceWalters]

The Texas Gourmet Dining Tour:

Start with New Zions barbecue, then drive to Snook the next day for some chicken fried bacon and a two pound steak. (See Texas Country Reporter video)

[bigsexy37]

I'm hungry now. 5 star video that's for sure

[MissTruly]

Looks yummy to me!
