My last dining run was to Austin a couple months ago. Only reason for going was I needed barbecue and a small amount of year end miles for status. I could have solved the miles in other ways; this was about the chow.

After Taco Cabana warm up started at Franklin. Too big a line so drove to Lockhart and ate well at Smitty's. Next morning off to Luling & City Market for a bit of everything, followed by nice back road drive north to Taylor. I have not been that keen on Louie Mueller over the past decade & a half but that day was a good day. Thanked pit boss for his good work. Grabbed a couple Salt Lick brisket tacos at the airport on the way out of town.
