Seriously Eating Seriously Good BBQ in Lockhart, TX

Alaina Browne, friend of SXSW Baby!, has posted a call to action for BBQ lovers visiting Austin for SXSW. The message: get yourself to Lockhart, Texas!

If you love barbecue like we do and have access to a car, we highly recommend you drive about 30 minutes south of Austin to Lockhart for some serious Texas barbecue at Kreuz’s, Smitty’s, and Black’s. Texas barbecue comes in two styles: with or without sauce. Brisket, sausage, and beef ribs are the cuts of choice.

I can heartily endorse a side trip to Lockhart, Texas, if you have the time and inclination. In fact, the Texas government has even passed a resolution proclaiming Lockhart to be The Barbecue Capital of Texas. Says my friend Yimay, “Lockhart is for hard core BBQ lovers.” So how hard core are you?
