'Welcoming, family style and spacious': This Germantown BBQ restaurant just opened
That's the vibe that Brian Hower, who will be preparing the barbecue at Germantown's new restaurant, Trible B's Backyard BBQ, is going for.
This Texas-style barbecue restaurant, located in the former Barley Pop Pub's restaurant, will be "welcoming, family-style and spacious," Hower said.
"We set our dining room up kind of like a picnic area to give it that feel," he said. "Everyone is friends in here."
Hower, who started working at restaurants when he was 14, said he's always enjoyed cooking for family and friends.
Hower said he built and perfected two smokers with his late friend, Jack, and he began smoking meats to perfection for friends and family. He started supplying smoked meat for Blackstone Creek Golf Club in Germantown and then for the Fire Ridge Golf Club in Grafton.
Hower said Trible B's Backyard BBQ opened in mid-February, and Hower is creating the barbecue there.
Trible B's Backyard BBQ is located at N116 W16137 Main St. in Germantown.
Hower said what makes their food special is the barbecue items are fresh and smoked daily. "We take much pride in smoking meats. (It) took a lot of practice to get to where we are at," he said, adding that all their meats are smoked and no sauce is added during the smoking process.
Hower said the loaded tater tots are probably the most unique item on Trible B's menu. He said the tots are served with "your choice of smoked meat, then topped with our homemade cheese sauce, sour cream and chives."
Trible B's menu includes briskets, pulled pork, smoked sausage and pulled chicken. It also features appetizers such as pork belly burnt ends, mozzarella sticks, cheese curds and smoked wings.
In the future, Hower said Trible B's Backyard BBQ will feature smoked prime rib.
Trible B's currently does not feature a fish fry. But Hower said the eatery will eventually have fish on the Friday menu ― either deep-fried cod or smoked salmon.
Trible B's Backyard BBQ's hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday.

Texas breaks jobs record, again outpaces national growth rate in July
(The Center Square) – Texas broke jobs records again in July and again outpaced the national growth rate, according to new data released by the Texas Workforce Commission. Texas again set new records in July for having the greatest total nonfarm jobs and greatest number of Texans working in state history. Texas' nonfarm jobs totaled 14,333,800 in July after adding 8,700 positions over the month. Over the year, Texas added 232,500 jobs for an annual nonfarm growth rate of 1.6%, outpacing the national growth rate by 0.6%. Texas also reached a new high for the number of Texans working, including the self-employed, of 15,213,700 in July. 'Texas continues to see sustained job growth thanks to having the best business climate in America and the productivity of hardworking Texans,' Gov. Greg Abbott said. 'With more Texans working than ever before, we must ensure Texans across our great state have access to the tools and training needed to secure better jobs and bigger paychecks.' This year the legislature passed bills expanding career training programs, which Abbott signed into law. Last week, more than $1.6 million was awarded in Jobs and Education for Texans grants to support career and technical education training programs in South Texas. Last month, Texas' civilian labor force totaled 15,848,800, representing a decrease of 1,400 people over the month. Over the year, 195,900 people were added. There was a slight dip in the labor force last month, including in the oil and natural gas industry. Despite this, 'Texas continues to create jobs, a testament to the resilience of our workforce,' TWC Commissioner Representing Labor Alberto Treviño III said. 'TWC is working hard to ensure all Texans have access to the tools and training they need to seize these new opportunities, build skills, and find meaningful work in thriving communities across our state.' The Trade, Transportation, and Utilities industry reported the largest over-the-month increase in July after adding 5,500 jobs. Professional and Business Services added 3,800 jobs; Construction added 2,800. The Construction industry also grew by 3.2% over the year, outperforming the industry's growth rate nationally by 2%. 'Texas continues to foster job growth across a wide range of industries,' TWC Commissioner Representing Employers Joe Esparza said. 'TWC works every day to ensure that the workforce powering our economy is trained, supported, and ready to grow alongside the businesses that call Texas home.' Last month, the not seasonally adjusted employment rate increased nationally and in Texas. Texas' 4.2% rate was lower than the national rate of 4.6%. The Midland Metropolitan Statistical Area reported the lowest not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 3.1% in July, followed by Amarillo and San Angelo MSAs' 3.2% each. The MSAs with the highest rate were Eagle Pass' 9.4%, Brownsville-Harlingen's 7.3% and McAllen-Edinburgh-Mission's 6.7%, according to the data. Texans impacted by the July floods in designated disaster areas are encouraged to apply for Disaster Unemployment Assistance online or by calling the TWC at 800-939-6631. The application deadline is Sept. 4. Solve the daily Crossword

The US plans to build a $750M fly factory in Texas to stop a flesh-eating cattle parasite
The U.S. plans to build a $750 million factory in southern Texas to breed billions of sterile flies, ramping up its efforts to keep flesh-eating maggots in Mexico from crossing the border and damaging the American cattle industry. Secretary Brooke Rollins announced Friday that the U.S. Department of Agriculture hopes to be producing and releasing sterile male New World screwworm flies into the wild within a year from the new factory on Moore Air Base outside Edinburg, Texas, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from the border. She also said the USDA plans to deploy $100 million in technology, such as fly traps and lures, and step up border patrols by 'tick riders' mounted on horseback and train dogs to sniff out the parasite. In addition, Rollins said the U.S. border will remain closed to cattle, horse and bison imports from Mexico until the U.S. sees that the pest is being pushed back south toward Panama, where the fly had been contained through late last year through the breeding of sterile flies there. The U.S. has closed its border to those imports three times in the past eight months, the last in July, following a report of an infestation about 370 miles (595 kilometers) from the Texas border. American officials worry that if the fly reaches Texas, its flesh-eating maggots could cause billions of dollars in economic losses and cause already record retail beef prices to rise even more, fueling greater inflation. The parasite also can infest wildlife, household pets and, occasionally, humans. 'Farm security is national security,' Rollins said during a news conference at the Texas State Capitol in Austin with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. 'All Americans should be concerned. But it's certainly Texas and our border and livestock producing states that are on the front lines of this every day.' The pest was a problem for the American cattle industry for decades until the U.S. largely eradicated it in the 1970s by breeding and releasing sterile male flies to breed with wild females. It shut down fly factories on U.S. soil afterward. The Mexican cattle industry has been hit hard by infestations and the U.S. closing its border to imports. Mexico's Agriculture ministry said in a statement Friday that Mexico Agriculture and Rural Development Secretary Julio Berdegué Sacristán and Rollins signed a screwworm control action plan. It includes monitoring with fly-attracting traps and establishing that livestock can only be moved within Mexico through government-certified corrals, the statement said. And on the X social media platform, Berdegué said, 'We will continue with conversations that lead to actions that will permit the reopening of livestock exports." The new fly-breeding factory in Texas would be the first on U.S. soil in decades and represents a ramping up of the USDA's spending on breeding and releasing sterile New World screwworm flies. The sterile males are released in large enough numbers that wild females can't help but mate with them, producing sterile eggs that don't hatch. Eventually, the wild fly population shrinks away because females mate only once in their weekslong lives. In June, Rollins announced a plan to convert an existing factory for breeding fruit flies into one for breeding sterile New World Screwworm flies, as well as a plan to build a site, also on the air base near Edinburg, for gathering flies imported from Panama and releasing them from small aircraft. Those projects are expected to cost a total of $29.5 million. The Panama fly factory can breed up to 117 million flies a week, and the new Mexican fly factory is expected to produce up to 100 million more a week. Rollins said the new Texas factory would produce up to 300 million a week. She said President Donald Trump's administration wants to end the U.S. reliance on fly breeding in Mexico and Panama. 'It's a tactical move that ensures we are prepared and not just reactive, which is today what we have really been working through,' Rollins said. ___ Hanna reported from Topeka, Kansas.
