** Yeah, this post is off-topic ... oh well. **
The above photo is of my older brother (Trip) and nephew (Blair). It was taken earlier this month when Trip's family visited me in Austin.
When folks visit me in the badlands of Central Texas, I make it a point to take them to a top-notch BBQ joint. Smitty's BBQ in Lockhart, TX is one of the top-notch BBQ joints I take people to. And that photo is from a smoky side room inside Smitty's.
The other BBQ joints I take people to include Louie Mueller BBQ (Taylor, TX), Kruez Market (Lockhart, TX), and City Market (Luling, TX). (Snow's BBQ is also on this list but as we know, it's only open on Saturdays [video].)
A few months ago ... two high-school friends visited me and we went on a big-time BBQ Binge. Three hours. Three BBQ joints. For sloppy video of our BBQ Binge, watch below:
This is one of the few times I wish we had "Smell-O-Vision." :-)

Your Big Red tasting notes are worth the price of admission: "It starts off with a slow, cherry-esque vibe," and "it closes with this whiff of major league shoe that just takes over."

Wow! There are better joints than Rudy's right in your own backyard? I can't wait to get back to Austin!!
