Greg, last year six buddies and I were in Austin for MotoGP. We were there three full days and EVERY meal was eaten at a BBQ joint. I would skip Salt Lick. It's great for West Coast bbq but really fell short of expectations in all of our opinion. Although the desserts were delicious and the help wasn't too bad either.
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!

Left out some beef!

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
Greg, we were at Kreuz.... and walked through it... but it was closed.

Funny you mention that --- I was telling someone on this trip about "BBQ" and that you don't realize this process takes hours and hours.... That it's not like going to a regular restaurant where they cook to order --- and if they sell out - they're OUT! They can't possibly make more! I was telling them that I had to have that explained to me.... because I was like WTF do you mean you don't have any <whatever kind of meat>!!! I was indignant!! LOL Then it was well DOH!!!
Kreuz was an amazing place to eat. I seriously want to get on a plane and go there right now. I might even ask the wife about spending some flyer miles...then I woke up and was still alive.
Love the hastags, Greg! I have some battery acid styled shirts to match that one. Maybe I'll have to start my own line. Hanes, custom labels, red clay, and electrolyte!
Now I understand what you told me today, i forgive ya for flying back, And hell yeah to driving them, I love my 32 Roadster but after about 10 hrs the wind just starts to beat ya down. Hope Gwen gets better soon buddy
Hey Greg. I got a new shirt and it was only $28 to the house.
Anyone here could wear this and be proud of it!
Your new shirt reminded me of something... Love the shirt BTW!
Most of you know I used to do some of the major fireworks shows - New York etc - a TV crew from CBS stuck a microphone in my face and asked why someone would do this - to which I responded - "we're still just big kids" or some such statement.

Too true. Here we are all still playing with cars. How's that saying go ...?
