I've found my new favorite BBQ joint - too bad it's all the way down there in Houston. I wonder how many trips I can finable a year out of VMware? This place was a find. I had stopped in a little antique/curio shop (because they had a full sized Bob's Big Boy statue in the window) and got to talking with the owner. When I mentioned my website and asked where he'd recommend for some good Q, his answered immediately - "Head on over to Luling City Market."
He described the place as a little run down bar/tavern with a smoker in the back. He said I would be impressed until I saw their meat - and that then I'd be hooked. Man was this guy ever right.
Take a look at the picture of the counter. First off, there are no "plates" - you order your meat by the pound. Second there are no plates - your order will be placed on butcher paper, along with your sides in little bowls, on a try (that looks like they might have started in a school cafeteria at some point.
