Sounds like fun Byron, I need a vacation.

 

Me too.....

 

I like pretty much like any Shiner...and that beef from the Midwest is alright, but that Texas beef down the street from me is no joke. Midwest brisket isn't even on the same planet! LOL I think we need a Texas Riff Raff event.

 

Me three...wait.. How'd I get here? LOL!!!

 

Byron, if you're looking for BBQ joints around Johnson City, run over to Ronnie's BBQ. They're pretty good. They aren't Cooper's or Franklin's, but I've never left there mad before. Lol. Franklin's in East Austin is probably the best brisket I've ever had, but you have to stand in line for literally hours to get your hands on some. Lol.

 

It has been mentioned a couple times. You never know.

 

How did I say otherwise? Lol

Midwest beef. Ie cattle are better than that of Texas. There's more for them to eat than scrub brush and tumbleweed. Lol

 

X2. You haven't had beef until you've ate some Indiana born and raised beef!

Who doesn't? LOL!

 

Oh here we go....there is a lot more to Texas than scrub brush and tumbleweed. Our cattle are grass fed, not corn fed, so that alone makes my choice for me...not to mention that the Hill Country is my second favorite place on earth and Indiana is a distant 167th..LOL!!!! I spent some time in the Winona Lake area and killed an 8 point buck with my trusty recurve bow there. It isn't a terrible place, but I did my time. Haha!!

Now if you want to send some filets down here in a cooler and Travis and I can do a taste comparison, I will give it a shot. I never say no to free beef if it isn't green!!

 

Travis here is how the day is shaping up so far. Jacobs swimming hole, The Salt Lick barbecue in Dripping Springs and a little bit of Shiner. I'll let you know how it goes!!

 

The Salt Lick is like 5 minutes from my house. Lol. Literally right down the road. I'm that close and I don't go there. I will say one thing though.. Their sauce is nothing short of amazing. Give me some Salt Lick sauce and some brisket from Franklin's and I'll probably eat until I burst. Lol

Let's get that started. I'll help in any way I can if you decide to do that one day. Lol

 

What makes Texas beef so good is it is slow cooked on the hoof for a long period of time before being served.
I just spent a week at a KOA in Ouray,CO that has an excellent Texas BBQ gig going on. The owner Dave prides himself on it. I have never tasted any so good in all my life.

I love road trips and posts about them, especially when they are still in progress..


Happy Trailering..

 

I spy.... with my little eye...... Lol

 

Diesel, BBQ and beer. Doesn't get much better!

 

This is all time! Enjoyed the hang! Gotta do more of it.

Don't be fooled dudes...that SD is pretty damn cool! I am a little jealous...LOL!!
