I most recently lived in Dallas, Texas. Hickman's smokehouse can run with the big dogs in that area. Rack of ribs had a perfect amount of tug, beautifully seasoned and the perfect amount of moisture. The bark on the ribs -- nothing less than majestic. No pictures of the food this time, but I'll be back for sure.
