Denver diner's dinner at Lamberts

Yesterday, I posted pics from my Wednesday dinner at Stiles Switch with a new friend from Denver. Turns out that, before he headed back to Denver, he had a meal at Lamberts. Last night, he emailed me some pics from his visit. He started with wild-boar ribs and finished with a 3-meat plate of brisket, jalapeño sausage, pork ribs, baked mac & 3 cheeses, and jicama, carrot, & cilantro slaw.

Hump-Day Dinner at Stiles Switch

Had dinner Wednesday with a new friend from Denver. He landed in Austin, got a rental car, & drove straight to Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew, where I was waiting to meet him. It was his first visit there. After counter samples of beef rib, brisket, & jalapeno-cheddar sausage, each of us ordered a 3-meat plate. Between us, we had brisket, jalapeno-cheddar sausage, turkey, & pork ribs. And we nabbed a beef rib. We had 2 orders of macaroni & cheese, corn casserole, & lemon-vinaigrette coleslaw. Bread, pickles, & onions, of course. Check it out:
