Central Texas is BBQ Ground Zero as far as I am concerned. You can't drive in any direction without hitting a good BBQ place around here. It just doesn't get any better than this:
Salt Lick-- Driftwood, TX (This is by far the best. It's been on Food Network many times.)
Rudy's-- Either place
Black's--Lockhart (Oldest BBQ place in TX owned by one family)
Kreuz's--Lockhart (pronounced more like Chritz's)
Luling City Market--Luling of course
Louis Mueller's--Taylor
And about 1000 other joints that have damn good BBQ too!
BTW, I've never tried the Stubb's sauce in a jar, but if it is like the stuff they serve at the Stubb's joint in Austin, it ain't worth writing home about.
Kreuz's has some of the best. I have eaten at the Luling City Market and that is great too. Giddings Meat Market has the best BBQ chicken anywhere.
The Stubb's BBQ sauce in the bottle is not much to write home about. The wife bought some last year, and we still have half a bottle left.
