I was in Austin, TX, visiting my sister this past week. We had lots of good food at many places, but Mr. AAL and I both agree this was the best place:

The Salt Lick

It's found outside Austin in a blink-your-eye town called Driftwood.

The open pit was packed full of brisket, sausage and ribs. The smell was heavenly and oh my, was it good!

We all really enjoyed the entire experience!
