Texas BBQ-Themed Valentine's Day Dinner Ideas
Getting your fingers coated in sweet and spicy jalapeno BBQ sauce or biting into an assortment of chewy pralines may not seem traditionally romantic. But if your Valentine is a true Texan or a BBQ lover, the way to their heart is through their southern-flavored taste buds.
Here are a few Valentine’s Day dinner ideas guaranteed to make their heart sing.
Ribs
Why not order our slow-smoked BBQ ribs with a loaf of our jalapeno cheese bread and a bottle of our original BBQ sauce?
For a more hands-on experience, you and your partner can season your Texas BBQ ribs with our flavorful dry rib rub. Then, complete the meal with classic BBQ sides, including creamy mac and cheese, smoked baked beans, or a crisp tossed salad. No matter which option you choose, you’re sure to create a delicious and unforgettable Valentine’s Day.
Gifting BBQ Goodies
Who says Valentine’s Day can only be celebrated between couples? Why not surprise your loved ones with a Valentine’s Day dinner idea that includes our Pride of Sam Houston? Perfect for sharing with family and friends, this indulgent BBQ package consists of a whole brisket, two slabs of pork ribs, two links of Czech sausage, two of jalapeno pork sausage, and a few bottles of Goode’s original BBQ sauce.
If you prefer brisket, order our Davy Crockett, which includes an entire brisket, pork ribs, and sausage, or our Classic Mesquite Smoked Brisket. Then, incorporate some easy-to-prepare beef brisket sides, such as creamed corn, oven-roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or collared greens.
To sweeten the deal, why not add one of our famous Brazos Bottom Pecan Pies to finish the evening? Nothing says ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ quite like a BBQ dessert native to Texas and filled with gooey goodness.
BBQ Picnic
Are you planning a BBQ picnic with your Valentine? Then, the Goode’s Sausage Sampler is the perfect choice. This savory spread includes two links of our Czech sausage and two links of our Jalapeno pork sausage. Serve it warm or at room temperature with a dollop of our original BBQ sauce. For an extra kick, try our bold, heavy garlic BBQ sauce. Add a slice of our homemade jalapeno cheese bread, and round out your meal with refreshing drink pairings like a crisp iced tea or a chilled craft beer. For a sweet and salty finish, snack on our honey-glazed or roasted salted pecans. Get comfortable and enjoy a delicious romantic lunch hour together.
