Stop #2 of December Texas Q Tour: City Meat Market (Giddings, TX)

After our morning meal at Louie Mueller Barbecue, our tour group departed Taylor and headed southeast to Giddings, for a stop at City Meat Market (Our 2010 Readers' Choice Awards Best Overall). It's a good thing we arranged for the food ahead of time, b/c when I called proprietor Gerald Birkelbach to let him know we were on our way, they were already almost out of food! After a 47-ish-mile drive that let our group recover a bit from the first meal, we arrived in Giddings and headed into City Meat Market...


As he's done for decades, Gerald (yellow shirt) was leading the troops in the pit.


Our fearless crew stepped up to the counter to place their orders...


...and then settled in with trays full of pork ribs, brisket, pork shoulder, & sausage.


Two meals down, two to go.

Hi Drew
Bill Trussell here, I see your Mom at the Gym quite often and she told me about your blog. Those are some awesome looking cuts of meat you guys are going to enjoy eating at the City Meat Market. I am really impressed with your blog and all the information you have on barbecue. Do you mind if I link your blog to my Fishing Through Life Blog? I think some of my followers would love to read your barbecue post.
