One of Texas's oldest BBQ joints is closing permanently after 34 years
Is there anything that screams Texas more than BBQ? Okay, maybe Friday night lights and chicken fried steak but BBQ is certainly near the top of the list. Barbecue is more than just a meal in Texas. It's a cultural institution, a source of state pride, and a culinary tradition that unites communities across generations. Texans take their barbecue seriously, often debating the merits of brisket, ribs, and sausage with the same fervor others reserve for sports teams. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Today, Texas barbecue spots range from humble roadside shacks to acclaimed craft establishments, drawing locals and tourists alike for a taste of slow-smoked perfection. The lines outside legendary spots like Snow's and Franklin Barbecue are a testament to the devotion Texans have for their smoked meat, with some fans lining up before dawn for a chance at the day's best cuts. There are even four Texas BBQ restaurants with a Michelin Star. But the competition is fierce, just like it is for all restaurants these days. After 34 years of serving up classic Central Texas-style barbecue in Arlington, Bodacious Bar-B-Q will close its doors this August, confirming rumors circulating among loyal patrons. Owner Fran Ruegsegger announced the news in a heartfelt Facebook post, expressing gratitude for the generations of customers who have become "more like family and friends instead of just customers," according to a report on Chron. The Arlington location, which opened in 1991, is part of a broader legacy that began in 1965 when Dallas native Roland Lindsey founded the first Bodacious in Longview. Related: Beloved local family diner closing after nearly 40 years Over the decades, Bodacious expanded across North and East Texas, each location independently owned but united by a commitment to traditional fare: brisket, hot links, pork ribs, ranch-hand stew, and the beloved Bo-Pie, a concoction of Fritos topped with chopped brisket, beans and cheese. Ruegsegger emphasized that the restaurant isn't closed yet and encouraged customers to stop by before the final day, which is still to be determined. "God never closes one door that He doesn't have a better one to walk through, so we are excited for whatever opportunities God has ahead for us," Ruegsegger wrote. When Bodacious closes its doors it will mark the end of an era for one of Arlington's most cherished barbecue joints. The closure of Bodacious Bar-B-Q in Arlington is not an isolated event, but part of a larger wave of restaurant shutdowns sweeping across Texas and the nation. The restaurant industry has faced mounting challenges in recent years, from rising costs and shifting consumer preferences to increased competition and the lingering effects of economic headwinds.

Even iconic brands like Red Lobster, TGI Fridays, and Wendy's have shuttered hundreds of locations, while others have filed for bankruptcy or downsized to adapt to new market realities. The restaurant industry is experiencing a shift toward restaurants that can accommodate digital ordering and delivery and a lean staff. Running a restaurant where someone has to be on site at the crack of dawn to get a fire going, a requirement for a place that cooks BBQ, is a tall order. Bodacious BBQ in Arlington will close its doors in August so get in there and order up some of their signature brisket while you still can.

Texas removes BlackRock from state blacklist after ESG pushback
After pulling back from ESG initiatives (Environmental, Social, and Governance) as a result of pushback from Texas trade officials, BlackRock (BLK) was removed from the state's blacklist that bars financial institutions from from being state contractors and receiving state investments. Yahoo Finance legal correspondent Alexis Keenan comes on Market Domination Overtime to explain the events and what this victory means for BlackRock and CEO Larry Fink. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination Overtime here. BlackRock getting back in good stead with the key Texas official after retreating from environmental, social, and governance initiatives. For more, let's bring in Yahoo Finance senior legal reporter Alexis Keenan. There had been a bit of a fight between Texas and BlackRock. A three-year-long fight, at least, and it was out of a Texas law that banned the state funds from being used to invest in companies that were antagonistic to fossil fuel production. So Texas has had on this law in the books, uh, passed in 2021, and BlackRock has been dealing with it, as have other companies since then. Uh, specifically, the law states that investments from the state's coffers cannot go to companies that harm, penalize, or limit the industry. So now, these Texas pension funds and other funds from the state, they're going to be able to be used to buy most of BlackRock's products. There are some funds that don't qualify still, and they're still on that blacklist. And this all, of course, comes after the CEO Larry Fink had disentangled BlackRock from a number of climate initiatives, two specific ones that the controller in Texas cites to in doing this pullback. Uh, in a statement, BlackRock said to Yahoo Finance that it's proud to help millions of Texas retire, Texans retire with dignity, and on behalf of clients, invest over 400 billion in corporations, local governments, energy infrastructure all throughout the state. Uh, a report from the Wall Street Journal has said that the law did indeed lead Texas to pull what they say billions. I don't say how many billions. We've asked as well, from, uh, from its investments. So this will change things significantly. It's there there's still big numbers, despite it being probably a drop in the bucket for BlackRock. It's still a lot of money when it comes to Texas. So at the same time, you have an antitrust suit, though, on the other hand going on. That is a Texas-led antitrust suit, and it alleges that, uh, that BlackRock and Vanguard and State Street collectively got together on, uh, an ESG initiative to reduce the production of coal, and so they say that that harmed consumers. So you have kind of two messages going on there, and the FTC and the DOJ have also sided with the states in this matter. Important story. Thank you so much, Alexis. Appreciate it.

House budget proposal cuts SNAP, Medicaid in major rollback
TYLER, Texas (KETK) — The House has passed a budget proposal within the 'Big Beautiful Bill' that would cut the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid. This results in the largest rollback of food assistance in our nation's history, according to 'Feeding Texas'. Nacogdoches holds second annual Duck Derby fundraiser for county donations 'This represents a 30 percent cut to our nation's most important and effective anti-hunger program,' Vice President of Feeding Texas Jamie Olsen said. SNAP currently feeds 3 million Texans and cutting funding for this program would result in $300 billion lost in aid. 'Texas would be required to pay 1.8 billion dollars a year starting in 2028,' Olsen said. The estimated total of Texans at risk of losing all SNAP benefits is 392,000 and 806,000 are at risk of losing partial benefits. Additionally, the bill could leave one million Texans without health insurance, specifically putting elderly and pregnant women in rural areas at risk. 'We're urging Congress to ensure no one is forced to choose between food and other basic needs,' the East Texas Food Bank said. The Senate is projected to vote on the budget as early as June 16. Both chambers must conference and re-vote on a final bill before the August debt limit. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
