I've done a search, but all posts i found were a bit dated...
Going to be in Austin for a work trip late January. Travel Monday and Thursday, tied up in meetings tues and wed, have no idea what kind of daily schedule i will have to deal with. But we're thinking about making it a family trip since I've got to go anyway, and we'd probably not get down there any other way. If the fam comes along, I'm thinking we may leave on Sunday.
So, with "limited " time, a 4 year old, and a rental...what are the hotspots now? I would love to do franklin, cause of the experience and all, but dont know if I'll be able to do the line wait. Is it really that 'life changing'? Blacks, la barbeque, Salt Lick, Snows, Muellers, Smittys, Kreuz, Micklethwait, Stiles Switch..... I know not everyone will agree, but what are the must "go to" places these days? And who knows if I'll ever make it to Austin, or this part of Texas again....
All tips are welcome. I know some (most?) Are cash only...? Websites i have looked at show by the pound price...hopefully you don't have to but a full pound? 1/4, 1/2 pound of most meats?
Fire away......
