Make the drive to Kreuz Market in Lockhart. It's the best BBQ I have had in my entire life. "No Sauce, No Forks" is their credo and oooohwheeee is it worth it! I got a pork chop that was about three inches thick and half a pound of brisket. One of the guys ordered a pound of brisket, then went back for another half pound. Just insanely good food. When you walk in the FIRST front door it smells like a forest fire.
Dangit, now I am starving. It's all your fault, Greg! |
The whole "The Salt Lick" thing is an inside joke -- from when a group of us from Lat G went to Austin for the V8 Supercar race.... and Bryan Cope (lives there) refused to take us there -- we all asked to go because it was the only one you hear about....
Closest thing I got to BBQ all week was a doggie bag of left overs from Lambert's - where we were walking to eat when Gwen tore the rest of her knee out - and we ended up missing the dinner. Adrienne brought me the doggie bag to eat in the ER.
With 20+ cars and about 35 people or so (herding cats) it was just hard to do much of anything in an organized way.... and we tended to just spend more time with Adrienne and her friends on this trip. Since she's in Chefs school there - she saves up all the cool places for Mom and Dad to take her... $$$$$$ LOL
