Aston Martin

Sometimes it’s a few bars of a Héctor Lavoe song or the sight of a pile of large, bright green avocados that remind me of the island half of my family calls home. But, most often, it’s scent that jogs the images out of the dusty corners of my brain.

The peppery, slightly bitter smell of red-orange achiote oil. The earthy green of fresh cilantro or its bolder cousin, culantro. The buttery syrup dripping from a ripe mango; the dizzying slap of strong vinegar; the musky sweetness of fried green plantains; the deep, rich, garlicky

Aston Martin

If you have ever spent any time in Beaumont, or grew up there like I did, when you first hear about 1701 Barbecue, you might question what in the heck a Central Texas-style barbecue joint is doing there. Or what happened in the year 1701, only to find that it’s named for its address on Calder Avenue, the city’s main thoroughfare.
