Nope, on this occasion it was a place up Guadalupe north of the campus, up near 50th or such. My memory is a little fuzzy as this was back in '79.

Though one barbecue joint stuck in my mind was kind of a log cabin looking place with big old picnic tables and a never ending buffet line of those big beef ribs, brisket and cornbread. I had a roommate from Reynosa who was the biggest Mexican I've ever seen. I still remember him sitting at one end of the table with a pile of beef ribs in front of him that he was working on. He'd have a rib in one hand, a jalapeno in the other, alternating bites form both, swigging a long neck Lone Star and only putting the food down to wipe the sweat off of his face from the heat of the peppers!

LOL. Your buddy from Reynosa sounds like me on a Saturday night, except I'm a gringo. My wife of nearly 10 years(from Ohio) is finally starting to see the beauty in herbs and spices. 'The more you sweat the better it is.' can be taken so literally in so many aspects of life, and food is second on my list. Guess my number 1.
