BBQ tourin' with some Aussies!

Back in May, I had the pleasure of taking an Australian couple on a BBQ tour. They wanted to get a taste & feel for Central Texas BBQ joints, since they run a BBQ company (Smokin' Barry's) in Melbourne. I took them to Opie's (Spicewood), Hays County (San Marcos), Black's (Lockhart), & Valentina's (Austin). They were an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. I meant to post the pictures long before now, but better late than never! First stop: Opie's. After the meal, owner Kristin Ashmore was kind enough to spend time outside by the smokers talking shop with my clients. 

This year's Gettin' Sauced! poster!

Particularly since I have absolutely no design skills, I always enjoy seeing our Gettin' Sauced! poster. Each year, I crack up thinking, Imagine if I'd been the one to design it. Anyway, last night, I saw this year's poster for the first time. As always, posters will be available for sale at the festival and (after the event) via our website.

What is the best BBQ joint in Blanco County?

Finishing our journey around Travis County, we arrive at our final adjacent county: Blanco County. BC is home to towns like Blanco and Johnson City. Which BBQ joint in Blanco County is the best?

Making our way around Travis County, just 2 counties remaining in my round of questions about the best BBQ joint in each county adjacent to Travis County. Next up: Hays County. HC is home to Buda, Driftwood, Dripping Springs, Kyle, San Marcos, Wimberley, and other little towns. Of all the BBQ joints in the county, which is tops?
