\"06<\/a>Linda Burton posting from Austin, Texas<\/em> — Every Tom, Dick and Susie-Q in Texas loves barbecue. I googled Austin Barbecue<\/em> to get some ideas for at least one \u201cauthentic Texas\u201d meal. The \u201c10 Best\u201d listed Salt Lick Barbecue\u00a0at the top.\u00a0Thirty minutes outside of Austin, no credit cards, bring your own beer, a fireplace for chilly days. Second was Kreuz Market\u00a0in Lockhart, no sauce, no sides, just belly up to the counter and order barbecued meat; it comes to you on butcher paper. The third listing was The County Line\u00a0and that’s the one I chose, because, well, the tour guide said his daddy said it was the best barbecue he ever ate. A true word-of-mouth endorsement. <\/p>\n

\"06<\/a>There are several County Line restaurants — one on the lake, the original “on the hill.” With sunset coming on, I drove out to Bee Cave Road, yes, I wanted barbecue with a view. “Our homemade bread is worth the price” the menu boasts, though complimentary bread comes with your meal. The homemade stuff is OMG, soft, fragrant, and such a loaf of it you have to take some home. Known for beef brisket, that’s what I tried, extra sauce, potato salad, crunchy slaw. Everything was good, but it’s the view I’d go back for.<\/p>\n

\"06<\/a>Only one thing to say. Along about suppertime, find yourself a hill to\u00a0end the day with. And, if you can\u2019t find a hill, at least get some Texas barbecue.<\/p>\n

Others on the \u201c10 Best\u201d List are:<\/p>\n

Sam\u2019s \u2013 an institution, late hours, musicians favor after gigs, Stevie Ray Vaughn was a patron<\/p>\n

\"06<\/a>Cooper\u2019s Old Time Pit \u2013 you can even get goat barbecue here, sit outside at communal tables<\/p>\n

Louie Mueller \u2013 40 miles from Austin but ranked one of the top 25 barbecue places in the world<\/p>\n

Ruby\u2019s \u2013 numerous sides, vegetarian options, and hormone-free meats<\/p>\n

\"06<\/a>Stubb\u2019s \u2013 a music haven that also has good barbecue, it has attracted greats like Willie Nelson, Robert Cray, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, and on and on<\/p>\n

Artz Rib House \u2013 vinyl checked tablecloths, ceiling fans, and bluegrass nearly every night<\/p>\n

Iron Works Barbecue \u2013 big red tin building, lively patio, barbecue and salad bar<\/p>\n
