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.Basic Information:

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!
