There is this place just south of Austin around San Marcos called the Salt Lick. The smell, that...bar-b-que smell, ya smell it just a few miles before you get there. By the time you hit the lot ya done gone and sacrificed a baby to get in. In this joint you suck the smell from the bones and by God they gots SWEET TEA. :thumb: Willie hangs out there allot. Anyhow I told nolimitMD to go and we haven't herd from him since. I will PM you the link if you got the nerve.
As long as you aren't putting sauce on the Q....StaceyO, head down to Kreuz in Lockhart, there isn't any sauce in the store. Actually, hard to get bad Q in Lockhart.
Alas, east of San Marcos, South of Austin, just north of Luling (another great place for Q) Just take a long weekend and travel that area for Q. Elgin, East of Austin is good for Hot Guts. We use Klemke's from Slaton up here in the Panhandle. I don't know if they have a full processing facility in the Grapevine store, but Cowamongus is good, (Great Ice Cream too). They are tied to the meat processing school here at TTU and we get some good products (cooked and raw) from the experimental lab.
Thanks for the geographical info. Texas is so large, that it frustrates me to try to figure out where small towns are. I have a good grasp on Louisiana geography, so I like to know where everything is.
