I want to go to Austin for no other reason than to try franklins. No idea what else I would do on the trip. Haha.

Skip the line at Franklin and go to straight to LaBarbeque, order a pound of brisket, and enjoy. I get emotional just thinking about it. So damn good!

Franklin's is for city boys.

Ever been to Snow's?

They made No 1 in the link I posted for a reason......

I know a few hole in the walls that open a couple days a week or when they feel like it. Close when they sell out. And when they open off schedule it's just uncanny how the word spreads and they sell out same as normal days. Most just sell meat, maybe cole slaw and tater salad as sides. Some have fried fresh okra or fresh corn on the cob. But all have great pit BBQ.:thumbsup:thumbsup

Anyone who comes to town feel free to PM me and I will buy some BBQ and drinks... been here my whole life and can show you the good bad and ugly IN my opinion people are trying to hard with BBQ deal, and at the level they are producing now you can find a bad place, even the chain's produce pretty good Q to compete.... But between Tito's, Meat, and fine women we got the market cornered !! :champagne:

We ate at Salt Lick. Rustic atmosphere but amazing food. The Pecan Pie was the best I've ever had too!

I can't stand BBQ...

Memphis
KC
TX
etc.

They all say they have the best.

My idea of a good BBQ is trowing a nice Filet Mignon on a really hot grill !

(and yes I have tried almost all the ones listed here - i used to live in Austin)

My idea of BBQ is meat cooked with a sauce or dry rub, but I'm from the Deep South. I prefer a thin spicy sauce with a hint of citrus.

Daughter and SiL have a BBQ place. He often does prime rib on the pit. This you would like. Rare prime rib with a small smoke ring and crusty outside. The juices are unreal and it's tender as hell.:thumbsup

If you've tried that many, you must have ate a lot of BBQ to hate it.

I just moved to Texas 6 months ago and I use to think all BBQ was good until i moved here. People take BBQ really serious in Texas. At the Houston Rodeo over 250 teams from all over the world came to Houston for the World BBQ cook off. I mean this is some different level cooking and partying. Imagine RDP booth (music, booze stages ect) at desert storm but 250 of those and everyone serving there own BBQ to all there friends and families. I was shocked how much money people spent on this event.

I have been to the big names in Austin and Houston. Gatlin's BBQ in Houston has been my favorite but all of the places on that list are pretty amazing.

The thing about the cookoffs, is all the side dishes these teams come up with.....So many varieties of Jalepeno Poppers, seafood, frog legs, and who knows how many desserts. It's crazy.

Many teams are several generations old.

It’s so easy to get one of everything as you roll through the line, eating everything is a challenge in itself but it all looked so good.

I got a pound of brisket (cause 2 slices didn’t look like enough) only, and should have got little less but, I did finish it.

Will try the beef rib next. Might have a job there first part of 19’ so l’ll have to try some other places if we do.
