‘Texas Eats’ Episode 10: BBQ in Lockhart, Texas

[gremlins-hotel]

Will gladly be taking Texas recommendations if you're feeling it! Any tourist areas to restaurants (specifically beef if you can bec I've been meaning to try 👀)

I’ll be the first prideful Texan to admit that the only good part of Texas BBQ is our brisket (beef). Other states beat us on chicken and pork, if that’s more your style. But we know beef. God, uh, if you want good brisket specifically I’m going to recommend Black’s BBQ or Kreuz Market (which are actually both in Lockhart), Stiles Switch (BBQ). Of course, the best brisket is actually from some random friend of a friend of a friend of the family that just has the most insane brisket rub imaginable and they would kill to keep it a secret.

Austin-specific recommendations for food: Culinary Dropout (The Domain), Jardin Corona, Clay Pit, Quality Seafood, Dirty Martin’s, Top Notch, Home Slice Pizza, Kerbey Lane Cafe, Torchy’s (though that went from an Austin original to a chain real quick), Texas Chili Parlor (hear me out; the food isn’t what it used to be, but it’s the spot all the Texas legislators go to after session, so if you want a weirdly intimate knowledge of our state’s goings-on, it’s funny, however, legislature must be in session and Texas does not have a full-time legislature).

Austin-specific recommendations for visiting: Blanton Museum of Art, Texas Science & Natural History Museum, the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, Mount Bonnell, seeing the bats fly out from under Congress Avenue Bridge at sundown (best in summer), walking South Congress Avenue, the Capitol Building, any of Austin’s hike & bike trails, kayaking or taking a paddle board down Lady Bird Lake (aka Town Lake), Zilker Park, and Austin’s biggest attraction for decades has been our live music scene once the sun goes down and the lights come out!

Today we arrived in Dallas in hopes of seeing the upcoming solar eclipse. We started with some beer tasting at Oak Cliff Brewing.

Then we went over to the Bishop Arts District and tried a few tasters at Jaquval.

And then we hit the jackpot at Lockhart Smokehouse BBQ! We had pork ribs, chicken and brisket with various sides. Wow! It was absolutely fantastic!

Couldn’t leave Lockhart without trying Texan BBQ. Lockhart was been declared the BBQ capital of Texas in 1999.

[texanbarbie]

Where’s the best bbq in Texas?

Austin has some of the best BBQ in Texas. I could give a bunch of recos, but I will leave y’all with these:

- Franklin’s (Austin)

- Leroy & Lewis (Austin)

- La Barbecue (Austin)

- Black’s (Lockhart)

- Pecan Lodge (Dallas)
