BBQ sucks in San Antonio. Take the road trip about 60 miles east on I-10 to Luling to hit City Market for the best sausage in the state. Outstanding ribs and brisket too. The sides suck, so skip them. Closed Sundays and don't show up at dinner time and expect there will still be meat. It's the best all around BBQ place I have tried, although I think the brisket is slightly better at Smitty's in Lockhart. Still, City Market's sausage blows away Smitty's and Black's (haven't tried Kreuz or Snow's). And Rudy's is garbage; some of the worst brisket I've had.

Cool, a drive out to Luling might be fun. If you ever head out on 181 south, hit up Smolik Market in Karnes City. Awesome BBQ, and a unique sweet BBQ sauce to seal the deal.

Any ever eat at Texas Pride? I saw the food network raving about it, but who knows.

Texas Pride is garbage. They're no better than Rudy's and the Food Network is almost always full of shit. I still remember them calling the not even mediocre La Hacienda de Los Barrios one of the best Mexican restaurants in the nation.

Forgot to mention the sauce isn't very good at City Market in Luling, but it doesn't matter since the meat is too good to put sauce on anyways.

I'm pretty damn picky about my BBQ since I always measure theirs to mine. Most of the previously mentioned places in SA are average at best. Two Brothers especially really disappointed. Bad BBQ and terribly overpriced. My pick for the two best in SA are:

BBQ Station @ 410 and Harry Wurzbach

The Smokehouse @ Rigsby and Roland.

Cooper's in Llano is my favorite, didn't know there was one in New Braunfels. As far as SA BBQ, it's hard to come by, check out The Smoke Shack off of Nacogdoches. The ribs are amazing, I'd recommend getting their early, as the line gets longer as hell at lunch.

Pecan Lodge is amazing. I'd go more often if the lines weren't so long.

btw lockhart smokehouse is in the bishop arts district. It's almost at Pecan Lodge's level but not as consistent. On a good day tho, their brisket is just as good.

OMG you just reminded me of the pecan cobbler there! It is also ridiculously good. I may have been there on an off day because as highly recommended as that place was, the only things I'd ever eat there again was the chicken and the t-bone. I know it's dumb, because I love meat, but I'm easily overwhelmed by "big" meat and man, was their meat big! Like Brazilian steakhouse big and rich; the last thing I ever wanted to eat again when I left there was meat :lol

I'll have to go try it out again for that sausage then when I'm in the mood for BBQ but not a drive to Luling or Lockhart. Can't stand lamb though; tried it at the absolute low end (McDonalds), tried it at fancy places charging $40 a plate for it, and at places in between, tried it when my Middle-Eastern friends would throw big parties and BBQ a whole lamb, and absolutely hated it every single time. Lamb and sea urchin are about the only types of dead animal I have tried and not liked on my plate tbh.

I haven't eaten there but if you want to try it you better move fast. That location is restaurant death. It's about the 20th theme that has tried that place and failed.

Then again, if Two Brothers can make it just a mile from there that area might just be ready for good BBQ.

That dudes brisket may be great but he isn't getting brisket to look like that straight out of a slow smoke. My guess is he is using sous vide to get them tender and then cooking them with smoke hot as hell fast to render them. It is IMPOSSIBLE to turn out a tender brisket that looks like that with just smoking it.

It has been about 9 months since I ate any lamb, so I can't put my finger on what I specifically hate about it any more. But it's one of those things I think I'll give a try every once in a while and always regret when I do. Strange, because I really like cabrito.

I'm not a big lamb fan, either, but you should try it mixed with beef. Burgers made with half ground beef and half ground lamb can be delicious, for example, especially seasoned with Middle Eastern spices. It makes it possible to get all of lamb's good qualities without the flavor being too overwhelming.

Nope. I know he uses hormone free grass fed beef but I've done the same on beef I have raised myself. Still can't get that medium pink center on brisket and have it tender just by smoking.

Continuing with wrongness. He uses Meyer Natural Angus Beef. I'm willing to bet what you raise wasn't anything near the quality of what he uses. I'm convinced that he has the upper hand simply by starting out with quality product. Oh, and you must not know your way around the pit like Franklin does. Franklin doesn't brag about winning contests. He just does it.

I've cooked and seen cooked hundreds if not thousands of briskets. You cant get a pink medium rare look in the center without it being tough just smoking it. The collagen doesn't break down until 180F.

I know for a fact Franklin's does not sous vide. You can't get a char like that from a quick, hot smoke. The pink you are seeing is the smoke ring. It's just a really good photograph.

Yeah, you can see pretty clearly on that middle slice that it's a smoke ring; the medium pink is only on the outside edges.

Even more impressive is he did all that on a shitty offset smoker you can buy at any sporting goods store in Texas.

Well the pit he used isn't by any means shitty but it is small. That's a $200-300 pit he's using but I know where you're coming from.

Actually I ate at Salt Lick this past Friday and I LOVED it----because I ran into Simon Pegg and Nick Frost there as they were in town doing promotion for The World's End :D

It was okay, not the worst brisket I ever had (that would be Rudy's), but it was better than the brisket at Cooper's in Llano and New Braunfels. And it was like 100 times better than Stiles Switch, on that Texas Monthly list.

I've eaten bbq in the Midwest and a lot in the South, which makes me wonder why Texas bbq is so freaking hung up on black pepper; I like black pepper and use it a lot, but damn, I don't like it being the overwhelmingly predominant flavor and it seems I haven't met anything in Texas so far that isn't like that. Unless it's home made of course.

The brisket he cooked in the video looks like a brisket and not a medium rare steak like the other picture.

B&B Smokehouse on Commercial a couple blocks down from Military..Nice hole in the wall type local joint.

:wow

Shit was pretty fucking good IMO. Got the two meat po' boy with sausage and brisket, fries and ice tea. The brisket and my GF's ribs had nice smoke rings, and good flavor. The sausage was good, but nothing that set them apart from others. I'd recommend.

I have heard that CosmicCowboy has the best BBQ in San Antonio. However, he didn't invite me over when I was down there so I'm not sure.
