Best BBQ Joint You’ve Been To

Kreutz in Lockhart is my gold standard.
Luling City Market is a close #2.

The brisket is worth a trip out there! It's also a pretty weird/cool building as it's a food truck that they have built a permanent structure around. The "Kitchen" is still the truck.

1. The Original Rudy's during my year and a half stint building The Rim and Bass Pro one exit up the road.

2. Jack Stack Kansas City

3. The Original Danken Trail located in the curve of gorgeous Bayou Desiard on Hwy 80 God's Country, LA.

Cozy Corner in Memphis.

Ribs, Cornish hen, and BBQ Bologna Sandwich.

I haven’t done any of the real Texas pantheons, so my choices are a bit skewed, but I enjoyed my meal at Stubbs in Austin many years ago and the Pit Room in Houston more recently.

However, the best barbecue restaurant meal I’ve had was at Buxton Hall in Asheville. They do a whole hog pork plate that was fabulous and do mussels cooked in a pot under the hog that is one of the 10 best dishes I’ve ever had. Really enjoyed the place, even though I realize it’s not likely to make most such ‘Best Ever’ ratings lists.
