bkarau's Review of Austins Bar-B-Que
- Potato Salad: Regular: Pickles, dill, mayo, mustard. OK composition.
- Beans: Pintos: Remarkably firm for end-of-day. Bland.
- Sausage: Best on tour. Chunky, but firm. Good casing - not too tough, but distinct from meat. Coarse grind.
- Atmosphere: Large pecan pile - huge cuts. Cooking on towed pits. Tiny walk-up counter, with picnic tables in cage on side. Butcher paper service. Dead animal head within 10'
- Spare Rib: Good bark and flavor. Tiny bit chewey. Must be pulled from bone - leaving hangers.
- Sauce: Tomatoey - flavorfull, but mild. Simple and good.
- Brisket: Could be best of the 2002 tour. Crosscut, tender. Melts away. Firm and fatty at the same time. Wonderful.
- Potato Salad: German. Soft taters with butter and vinegar.
- Dessert: Free dessert!. Brownie was awesome. Thin, soft, melts. Coconut cream pie was good, too. Score based on the brownie.
