Looking for the best slow-smoked brisket, tender ribs, and mouthwatering sides around Tucson? Whether you're craving Texas-style post oak smoke, Kansas City sweet-and-tangy flavor, or a distinct Southwestern twist, the Old Pueblo has a booming pitmaster scene.

Here are a few top spots around town to satisfy your BBQ craving:

A neighborhood favorite for Texas-style smoked meats paired with homemade sauces ranging from sweet to extra spicy. Grab the Ol' School Platter to sample a bit of everything—brisket, pulled pork, tri-tip, and smoked baked beans.

🍺 **Brother John’s Beer, Bourbon & BBQ** (*Central*)
If you’re looking for a sit-down atmosphere with a massive craft beer selection and rare bourbons, Brother John’s pairs classic mesquite-smoked ribs and brisket with Southern-meets-Southwestern hospitality.

Prehistoric Rhinoceros Tracks North of Benson, Arizona.

These are photos that I took of fossilized tracks along the San Pedro River. The rhinoceroses that made them 25 to 30 million years ago were large, heavy mammals about 4 feet tall, 8 feet long, and weighing about 1 ton. The 10-inch round impressions they made were preserved in stone. The site has since been covered due to vandalism.

In 1691, Father Eusebio Francisco Kino established Mission Los Santos Ángeles de Guevavi, marking the first mission built in what is now Arizona. The settlement endured until 1775, when persistent conflict forced its abandonment, driving the remaining community to seek refuge at Mission San José de Tumacácori.
