MEAT, MEAT, MEAT
Jennifer's pictures say it all...
Maybe it was the tequila, but there is something undeniably satisfying in standing in line to receive a butcher paper wrapped package of meat and wonder bread. Unfolding the brown paper to reveal a feast of glistening cuts of pork and beef conjured the atmosphere of a snowy Christmas morning of my youth. In addition, Hill Country's long wooden tables marked with isolated enclaves of giddy conversations among our growing number(10+ by the end of the evening) of fat bastard guests also was akin to a holiday feast with the relatives.
The ribs were bursting with packets of fat infused tenderness, the sausages almost shimmered with juice, and the perfectly pink ham was seasoned precisely. The only mild disappointment was the relatively arid brisket. At a bbq joint, the sides are generally beside the point, but the corn pudding was worthy of a second trip.
I relish the ability to out eat my companions. After packing up our tray with green beans, corn pudding, sweet potato mash and bean soup, Abs and I were unable to finish our one person meat sampler. crazy!
sorry you couldn't experience mary -- next time vegetarian?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????
that brisket was f-cking great. it had a great dry rub on the outside and inside it was moist and melted in your mouth.
and sides being besides the point at a bbq place? who ever heard of such a thing. the best bbq places are always just as well known for their mac, fried onions, collard greens.. etc as they are for their meats. in fact sometimes more known for sides.
we are going to have to agree to disagree
dude.. you have a point with the side, but the brisket was not so great!!! that baby was PARCHED... (though i agree it was tender)
katz has some good brisket...
