Off to Austin
I'm off to Austin for a few days next week for a couple days. I've got sort of a full schedule so Franklin's is probably not gonna happen. I was wondering if there was anyplace else to get some decent pulled pork and BBQ chicken.
I should get in about 2:00pm Tuesday and will have that day free.

There are an immense number of bbq joints in Austin. Most (not all) are very good and are considered fantastic in other parts of the state due to the quality of bbq here. What part of Austin are you going to be in? .

Fark if I know. I think I'm at the Hilton downtown Wed-Fri. Tuesday I'm at the Renaissance because the Hilton was booked. I have no idea where any of that is, but I'll have a car. I was thinking I'd just drive to Lockhart from the airport and drive back to Austin after I had 3 dinners or so. I was also thinking about Mueller's ...., maybe Wednesday.

From where you are staying at Id hit the Pit on Burnet, Iron Works downtown, Sams on 12th, Stiles on N. Lamar, Mettles on Calles St. That should have you set. If you want more upscale I can send you a list of those however they are more of an experience that taste. Also, since you are staying downtown one day you may be able to hit Franklins (Ill meet you if you like, but there are places just as good without the wait or cost).

Guys I'm in! Just tell me when and where?! I am driving my family to Austin to visit my in laws. I'm hoping to get there around noon on Tuesday. Last year was the first time I have been to Franklin's and it was great. I do however make 1 if not 2 trips to Lockhart every time we visit. Last year Black's had probably the best brisket I've ever eaten. Kreutz and Smitty's both have great hot links. Man is this making me hungry!

Fark, I knew I should have made this workshop longer!
My plane doesn't land until about noon. I am thinking of just driving straight to Lockhart and not leaving until evening. I will be freeish Wednesday until about mid-afternoon. I will then be completely tied up until about 10:00am Friday. My plane flies out at about 1600ish. I would love to go to Franklin's but considering my schedule and the number of other places, I think it would be a bit silly. I'm actually just as interested in visiting Mueller's trailer, and am thinking to do that Wednesday lunch. I also would love to meet gtr at Franklin's on Friday at 10:00, but I hate to be a line-cutter. Advice?

It'll be me and my sister in line - I think if you walked up it should be ok as it wouldn't be like one person holding a spot for a group of people. I'll warm up the crowd before you get there - maybe I'll tell 'em my lover is showing up later or something like that.
Seriously - I think it'd be fine. If turns out to be a problem, we'll order to go and bring it out and we'll feast. And Fat Coyote and JBonk - I'm thinking we get there at 8am on Friday. If y'all wanna meat up that'd be killer! We'll be hitting some other joints in Austin and going to Lockhart and maybe places like Snow's and Taylor over the weekend.

Advice?
GO AND EAT! I'd try to hit ALL that I could, even at the expense of NOT going to Franklin's. As you know, this advice IS coming from someone who has been known to eat at 3-4 Q-joints in the same day! Have a GREAT time Gore, and then tell us all about your experiences!

If nobody has to work this Tuesday, I've talked with my co-chair and we'll be having a pre-workshop session in Lockhart in the afternoon. My plane arrives at 1215. We'll be starting at Black's. I don't think I could get there before 1330. If anyone is interested, I'll be the one who looks like an Idiot.

The pig head is now stock, and I don't think I should be dumping it over my head that early in the day.
Look for one of these farkers on Friday. (pic taken by CD)

She's the one who isn't there.
So just look for any chick who isn't in that pic and it may just be my sister.
