穆斯林烤肉师傅正在重塑德州烧烤文化,将清真食品元素与传统烤肉工艺相融合。由穆斯林经营的多家烧烤餐厅在德州各地兴起,通过融入巴基斯坦香料、伊拉克风味等文化特色,吸引了广泛的食客群体。1其中,Goldee's BBQ在2021年被德州月刊评为州内第一烧烤餐厅,随后获得米其林必比登奖。1Goldee's的烤肉师和联合所有者Zain Shafi曾运营食品卡车Sabar Barbecue,提供巴基斯坦风味的清真菜肴。1
目前至少有十几家烧烤店现在供应清真肉类,包括Yearby's Barbecue & Waterice和Levant Mediterranean BBQ等。1Salahodeen Abdul-Kafi从硅谷科技行业移居德州,于2024年开设Kafi BBQ。1食品作家Farhan Mustafa在2025年为《邦尼特》杂志撰文介绍了美国清真烧烤的兴起。1穆斯林社区对这一融合的热情明显,Muhammad Sohail表示:"我们热爱食物,热爱肉类,我们是穆斯林,我们热爱烧烤。"1
不过,这股新兴趋势也引发了政治争议。GOP议员近期甚至讨论在会议上禁止清真食品。1
Muslim pitmaster-led barbecue restaurants across Texas are reshaping the state's iconic food culture by blending traditional smoking techniques with halal meat practices and diverse culinary traditions.1 Goldee's BBQ achieved recognition as the state's top barbecue restaurant by Texas Monthly in 2021 and subsequently earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand award.1 Zain Shafi, pitmaster and co-owner of Goldee's, previously operated Sabar Barbecue, a food truck featuring Pakistani-inspired halal dishes.1
The expansion of halal barbecue establishments has gained significant momentum, with at least a dozen restaurants now offering halal meat, including Yearby's Barbecue & Waterice and Levant Mediterranean BBQ.1 Salahodeen Abdul-Kafi, owner of Kafi BBQ, relocated from Silicon Valley's tech industry to Texas six years ago before launching Kafi BBQ in 2024.1 Food writer Farhan Mustafa documented the rise of American halal barbecue in a 2025 article for Bonnet magazine.1 Muhammad Sohail expressed the cultural connection driving this movement, stating: "We love food, we love meat, we are Muslim, we love barbecue."1 The growing prominence of halal barbecue has attracted controversy, with some GOP lawmakers recently discussing proposals to ban halal food at legislative conferences.1
