Black’s Barbecue, Lockhart, TX

I had some free time after wrapping up my talk at the Texas Book Festival, si I trekked to Lockhart, Texas to visit some old school Texas-style barbecue places.

First up was Black’s barbecue.

THEN you get to choose from the delectable meats.

I then sat in the main dining room to sample my choices.

Sliced beef brisket, pork spareibs, garlic sausage, jalapeno slaw, Cheddar cheese, saltine crackers.

The meats were fine, but the that I remembered most was dessert. It was amazing!
