Texas BBQ

My favorite ribs are from Mum. Love all the pepper.

Swung by Tejas Chocolate + Barbecue on the way home today.   In addition to usual barbecue days, they are now open on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Most of what I bought was for dinner tonight, so no picks.  A pound of moist brisket, two links of chile relleno sausage, and two sides of carrot souffle (my favorite non-traditional barbecue side).

Also grabbed a $20 full rack of spare ribs that was vacuum sealed and chilled. 

For lunch, I got the brisket tacos and bacon slaw.

Brisket on homemade tortillas is hard to beat.  Bacon slaw was great - something I'll try to reproduce at some point. 

Grabbed a couple chocolate truffles for my wife. 

Tejas remains on of my favorites - top ten for me.

Hit up Ribbee's today finally. Although my ribs were a little dry, I'll definitely go back....

Stopped by Mum today on the way back from fishing.  Ate some pork ribs there and brought a pound of pastrami home.  Pork ribs are great, solid bark, perfect bite.  I just wish they weren't so sweet (I always forget to tell them not to drizzle the sweet sauce on them).  Looking forward to Pastrami, sauerkraut, and potatoes for dinner.

Hmmm... I might need to try this.

Met some family at Smitty's (I was not part of the selection process). Meh. Brisket and sausage were fine - pork rib wasn't something I'd pay for myself.

Then walked around downtown and walked by Barb's and thought... God dammit they should have ate here. 

And there was NO ONE at Barb's.

I lament the slow slide of Smitty's.  That was always my favorite Lockhart joint.

many of us here remember when lockhart and city market - luling were the epitome of texas bbq. going to lockhart was a big deal 

kruez’s / smittys was a must

Yup, Smitty's was my favorite.  Now you probably couldn't pay me to eat there.  Very sad.
