Texas BBQ Tour

Nine stops, 48 hours, and a whole lot of animal flesh.

Here is an enjoyable recollection of a Texas BBQ trip recently completed by a long-time friend of mine known simply as The Legend. The article, published earlier this week on the EatItAtlata website, is not for the faint of heart or those with any aversion to eating cow.

Overall a great trip was had (approx 700 miles in the car….), some disappointments (I’m looking at you Lockhart, Texas) and some high points (Snow’s, beef rib at Louie Mueller, burnt ends at Pecan Lodge, and sausage at La Barbecue).

Hopefully the Carolinas are next……

Editors Note: I fully understand some might take issue to me using a pork photo as the banner of an article on Texas BBQ, but let’s be honest, that pork belly looks delicious.

Dining Out: American Grocery

As mentioned previously, it has taken me a while to get some older food posts I have been planning, but now that I’ve gotten Evernote Food items to show up properly on icnt.mx, we can get back to gastronomy.

The following meal is from a trip earlier in the year to Greenville, SC to visit family and check out some of the restaurants there (meaning there is more to show from this trip). Much thanks to Eat It, Atlanta, who frequents the area, for steerIng me In the rIght direction.

The following was taken from a meal at The American Grocery in Greenville, SC. Starting the meal off with charcuterie, featuring Jamón Iberico and Tallegio cheese, my personal favorite (if it is indeed possible to have a favorite cheese). For my main course I opted for beef tongue, whIch I have only had a few times but have never been disappointed wIth the result. AmerIcan Grocery served theIr preparation In a tomato-based stew, the acidity of whIch balanced the lean cut of beef nIcely. The portIons, as you can see, were more than ample.

An excellent IntroductIon for me for what Greenville  SC has to offer that sets the bar hIgh, for a restaurant In any cIty.
