I didn't take the most direct route on the way down to San Antonio. I went via a place called Lockhart which is 'famous' for its Texas barbecue. There are four places in the town which serve up barbecue -- Kreuz'z, Smitty's, Black's and Chisholm Trail. Some people stop at each place as they pass through. That was a bit too hardcore for me!
I stopped at Kreuz's for a Jalapeno Cheese Link (aka a sausage) and 1/2lb of beef brisket. The sausage was great, but I think with a winning combination of jalapeno, cheese, pork and barbecue youd struggle to muck it up.
The brisket was fantastic. So tender and moist. The places around here consider barebecue sauce a defilement of the sacred barbecue. Fortunately the brisket really didn't need it.
After my first meat fix I parked up near to Smitty's and went for a short stroll around town. After a short time a small part of my appetite had returned.
I entered Smotty's and ordered a single pork rib. This time I also had some 'sides' -- coleslaw and potato salad. The rib was great and the sides were fine but should've been an either/or but not both.
I was stuffed.
