Ugh... that is my question for today. Do I drive out to the haloed grounds of BBQ in Lockhart, or just stop somewhere closer like New Braunfels. Both have a Blacks (but only one is truly the original)
Joys of being in SAT for a couple days- seems there are some new places in AUS, but not going up there this time.
Drove through the parking lot of Smoke Shack yesterday. No parking and I think they were about to close... still could have done 1/2 lb of brisket; moist
(No, I haven't been)
A lot of changes in the rankings:
