Barbecue!!!!

Tim Fish Here. I can't believe I ate the whole thing!!! Cynthia and I took a day trip to Austin JUST TO EAT AT "THE SALT LICK". We saw this restaurant featured on the Food Network. They said it was the best barbecue ever. Well, being a connoisseur of fine food everywhere. (Translate: eater of meat anywhere) We decided to drive for 2 hours, wait to be seated for 1.5 hours, and then eat for 20 minutes. I began with the combination plate. (Sausage, Brisket and one rib) I ate that plate and asked if I could 'upgrade' to the "family style" (all you can eat plate). I then ate another plate of meat, three slices of their homemade bread, beans, and then a big bowl of blackberry cobbler with ice cream. Mmmm... 7 hours later and I'm still stuffed. I don't want to eat again until...tomorrow.

I must say that at first I wasn't too impressed with the barbecue at the Salt Lick. It was good, but not good enough to drive 2 hours just to wait and then eat. After my first plate though it kind of grew on me. Being from Kansas City and growing up with KC style barbecue, I still believe that KC barbecue is the best. Particularly Smokehouse BBQ and Buffalo Bob's. I did enjoy the day with my best girl.

We stopped at Cabelas on the way home and spent $268.00 on clothes and stuff. The best purchase was a bucket lid with a cushioned seat that spins. I will be adding it to my Service vehicle. I'm sure pictures will be coming soon.
