Vince Wilfork is loving life in Houston, and admits that the barbecue life was a major selling point in him signing with the Texans.
“There’s a rumor you left the Patriots and signed with the Texans because the barbecue in Houston is so much better than the barbecue in Boston,” we said, prompting Wilfork to set down his fork and smile. “Let’s just say it didn’t hurt.”
“There aren’t any barbecue joints in New England. I had to cook for myself,” said the Florida native, explaining that he loves to make ribs, pork chops and chicken.
The monster defensive tackle was even celebrated recently, gracing the cover of Houstonia Magazines Barbecue edition.
