Texas mini BBQ Crawl

[RG]

Well folks, the time is here. I am loading up to head to Texas to eat a few BBQ joints with a stop along the way to see Cajunate in New Orleans and have a Po'Boy Should be fun, I'll try and take a few pics along the way.

Where are you heading to?  I am in the DFW Metroplex and am very familiar with the Austin/Lockhart stuff as well.

IR2DUM took me and a friend on the "crawl" a couple of years ago.  The places we visited we very friendly and each took us to the pit area and let us look around and take pictures.
We ate at the first 3 places, but after that, we couldn't eat another thing till mid-afternoon. 
Prepare to be amazed!
Be sure to check out the wood piles at Smitty's  and Kreuz. 
I was also surprised at the size of Lockhart...there are 3 famous places there in that small town. 

Oh yeah, your gonna have a great time. 
I think I would skip N. O. Just to have an extra day for the "crawl".

just sayin'...

But remember there is nothing "mini" about Texas

That sammich looks messy enough to be pretty damned tasty!

[RG]

They were sold out of everything except chopped beef (brisket) sandwiches and sausage by the time I got there.  I got a sammich a piece for the wife and I and we shared a sausage link. $24.00

RG, maybe I am 2dum, but I didn't read where those pics of that que were from. I would venture to guess that you're not yet in Texas. I'm just guessing this because of the elegant plastic placemat/plate. In Texas, our everyday dinner plate is just brown butcher paper. If it is a formal dinner, we use white butcher paper. That chopped beef and sausage does look good.

Do you have an idea of your itinerary in Texas? What bbq joints are you thinking of hitting? Are you going to be anywhere close to Houston? By the way,like muebe said, anywhere within 200 miles is close in Texas.

I would venture to guess that you're not yet in Texas.

The sausage looks Texan but not so sure about the fancy hamburger bun and the side of sauce (and, as IR2dum says, the fancy wrapping). All looks really edible though.

Sorry guys, I was a tad "shot out" when I  posted that. The food was from LA Barbecue in Austin. It was wrapped in plastic wrap then wrapped in pink butcher paper. It was a to-go order. On a side note, I'll never complain about Atlanta traffic OR roads again. Texas traffic blows and the roads suck, lol. I guess traffic is just a universal problem. It sucked in Louisiana too, especially in New Orleans. Canal Street is nuts!

Back to the grub, the sauce was thrown in the bag so I used it,  the wife did not.  It was some good tasting stuff but I am one of those people who like sauce on bbq and on steak (oh my!). Save your comments about if it needs sauce then it's not good.  Not true.

Today is Franklin's, I will be there early so I can make sure to get some brisket

It looks like I will be eating at somewhere between 1 to 1:30 this afternoon. Been in line since about 8:15 this morning.
