Grand Prairie has a new name for one of its streets: Brisket Lane.

The operators of Zavala’s Barbecue in Grand Prairie came up with the idea to change the name of Locker Street, which runs right by its barbecue joint, to Brisket Lane.

And in a unanimous vote on Jan. 7, city council members agreed. Our partners at NBCDFW reported the story first.

Zavala’s is operated by Joe Zavala Jr. and Drew Wright. The Texas BBQ Posse considered it one of the best barbecue joints in North Texas in 2018, back when the owners were serving 'cue at temporary locations and pop-ups. In March 2019, Texas Monthly barbecue editor Daniel Vaughn called the brisket “flawless” and noted that lines can be long. Zavala’s continues to sell out on food nearly a year later; a good way to know before you go is to check the restaurant’s Twitter account.

Brisket Lane is a short road running between W. Main Street and W. Pacific Street in Grand Prairie. City council minutes from Jan. 7 say that there are no addresses on that stretch of Brisket Lane.

Zavala’s permanent home is at 421 W. Main Street in Grand Prairie. But it’s more fun to say it this way: Zavala’s is at the corner of Main and Brisket Lane.
