SAN ANTONIO - TelAve -- ExploringBBQ.com will publish the 20th numbered issue of BBQ Fandom on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central, marking a consistency milestone for the weekly Texas BBQ newsletter.

BBQ Fandom launched on March 19, 2026, with an introductory welcome edition and its first numbered issue published the same day. Since then, the newsletter has delivered a new numbered edition each week, bringing together Texas BBQ stories, restaurant developments, events, videos, podcasts, books, recipes, travel resources, and original cultural commentary.

"Reaching Issue 20 means more to us than hitting a number," said Mike Wheeler, co-founder of ExploringBBQ.com and BBQ Fandom. "It represents 20 numbered weekly editions devoted to the people, places, ideas, and conversations that keep Texas BBQ moving. We created BBQ Fandom for people who do not just eat BBQ, but genuinely follow the culture. We are grateful to every reader who has opened an issue, clicked a story, shared it with a friend, or joined the conversation."
