This is how serious people are about BBQ in Texas!   In a video that has gone viral on TikTok. You see a man get out of his car at a red light to check on the BBQ that he has on the grill.  There might be a couple of cuss words in the video but it will surely bring a smile to your face. The video was posted to the Dallas Texas TV TikTok page. Oh yeah, the comment section does not disappoint either.
