Roy Perez, the legendary pitmaster at Kreuz Market in Lockhart, is retiring after nearly 40 years of smoking Texas barbecue — and he’s getting a Hall of Fame sendoff for his mastery. Starting with no experience at 24, he perfected brisket, sausage, and that signature simple rub of salt, pepper, and cayenne. Even after surviving a stroke last year, he’s still proud of his craft and won’t change a thing. Fans are lining up to say goodbye on his final day, September 5 — a true end of an era for Texas BBQ.
