JoeAnn's Corner

Now as all know - BBQ can be quite controversial. Being born and raised in Texas, I am all about the beef bbq with very little sauce. I have to say for pork BBQ, Memphis was all levels of amazing - just very different from Texas BBQ. As far as I am concerned good BBQ does not need sauce - however, a little bit of sauce is okay especially if it is the Saltlick sauce. If you happen to be in Texas specifically the Austin / San Antonio area - drive out to to the original in Driftwood as the other locations do the meat no justice.

Saltlick ribs literally are to do die for. Tender, smoky, meat is literally falling off of the bone. No words can describe these - writing about it makes me want to salivate. Their brisket has been smoked for hours and is super tender and very moist. The sausage is truly exceptional. I am not sure what they use for the casing of the meat. As you can see despite being a BBQ purist - we love the sauce!

If you are an Ex of the University of Texas - the alumni group out here in SoCal does fly Saltlick out for an annual BBQ once a year - ping me and I can send you more information. Not as good as the original but good BBQ by the ocean is nothing to sneeze about!
