Austin, Texas - BBQ and live music
Mark K June 21st, 2008
Another city that I had never visited, but was very curious to see. They say that Austin is the place to visit for live music, especially for a different flavor of country music than what you might find in Nashville. On the Saturday night when I visited, 6th Street was blocked off to traffic and you could sample all kinds of music as you strolled down the street, much like on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, but not quite as crazy - almost, though.
We did another kind of sampling at the Salt Lick barbecue a half-hour out of town. After wolfing down their combo plate of brisket, pork ribs, and sausage, they actually ask you if you’d like a refill and then bring you another heaping plate. We could barely find room for the pecan pie!
It seems that my fellow wanderer, Matt (from Where the Hell is Matt) was in town at just about the same time.
