Texas BBQ, Round Two

It turns out that Lockhart is one of the best BBQ towns in Texas.  So we gave it another try.  We went to Smitty's Market, which is one of the "Big 3" of Lockhart BBQ.


Terry had pork ribs, which are big ribs, not the baby back ribs you get in Illinois.  They were not as tough as the other day, though.  And the flavor was very good.  I had beef brisket and hot sausage.  The brisket was tasty but too fatty.  Which I assumed.  Later an employee told me you can ask for a lean cut.  The sausage was excellent.

You buy the meat at one counter, in bulk.  Lots of the business is by the pound as carry out. They don't even give you a fork, so it's greasy fingers time.  Then in the dining hall room you buy your sides and drinks.

To finish it off, they sell Blue Bell cones for only a buck apiece.  Yum.
