Where's the tell-tale?

Screw the topic police, this is important stuff.

Blacks is WAY over-rated.

Best BBQ I ever tasted was in a little place in Oakville, between San Antone & Corpus.

Rudy's does a nice job out our way...

Greetings,
Yeah, what he said about topic police!
That said, I haven't eaten at Blacks in years.......then seem to burn everything.....or just cook the crap outta it!
The guy that owns and runs Chisolm Trail WAS the cook at Blacks for years before he spun off on his own 10 or 12 years ago.
There is also a small hole-in-the-road place in Lockhart called Smitty's that does some good BBQ also.
Kreutz is all about the "old world meat market atmosphere" - BBQ served on brown butcher paper just like the old days when they were downtown and I used to go in there with my family when I was a kid!

Truth be known: They all have their good and bad days - I eaten good BBQ in lots of places and some is great, some is good, some is just barely edible!

Darn, there goes the mouth watering again but IT IS LUNCH TIME.....since I'm at work, it looks like a trip to Louis's BBQ on 19th about a block W of Airport Blvd. is in order!

Enjoy!

Cooper's in Llano is the real deal.... outside pits.... mesquite coals.... cabrito, beef ribs, pork ribs, chicken, pork loin, pork chops (you just gotta try them), prime rib, sausage. You choose the piece(s) from the pit which is always full. It's sliced just where you want it sliced. All by the pound on bucher paper. Eat at communal picnic tables. It's ALWAYS full. Everytime I go, I bring back 5-10 lbs for my folks and others to enjoy.

It's THAT good!

Sorry I 'jacked this thread, but, it's that important to know about Coopers if you are a Texas BBQ lover.
