BBQ Trail in Central Texas

[edmonds]

4 days and 8 BBQ places, all within 60 miles of Austin, Texas.
Tuesday: Kreuz Market in Lockhart. Wednesday: Louie Mueller's in Taylor and Southside Market in Elgin. Thursday: Smitty's Market and Original Black's, both in Lockhart. Friday: City Market in Lulling and Salt Lick in Driftwood. Saturday: Franklin's in Austin.
Had brisket and sausage at each place. Sausage was either all beef or mixture beef/pork. For sides we had either beef rib, smoked turkey, pork chop, or spare ribs. Also sampled some veggies at one time or another.

Pictures are representative and in no particular order.

Favorites were Louis Mueller, Smitty's Market, and City Market (in no particular order).

Wow! What a great trip! I'd eat at any of those places.
Although Chilo, at City Market didn't look too pleased with having his picture taken.

I asked him before i took it. I think that's his standard pose. Those guys are all old school.

City Market does not have a website (but has facebook page), cash only. If you search online you can find Luling City Market, a BBQ joint in Houston since 1980's, but no relation.
