The Salt Lick, Austin TX

by lcreekmo on March 13, 2007

We went to the Salt Lick Sunday night. If you aren’t a vegetarian, you must make this fabulous restaurant in Driftwood, Texas, a definite stop on your tour of Austin.

The brisket is great, the dill pickles crunchy and pucker-inducing and the ribs are very flavorful.

My complaint remains from my first visit to the Salt Lick: With all the other great home cooking here, why are they serving us store-bought bread? There’s some on my plate here but I ate little of it. It offends the palate compared with the other authentic Texas barbecue fare.

Color me jealous. When the heck is Lent over so I can start cursing and eating meat again?

Awww…..I’m sorry. But, what church do you go to? My minister kept telling me in years past that all Sundays are “Little Easters” so it’s not necessary to give anything up on Sundays. Was that just his way of getting me to participate in Lent, at least in some small way?

Not that I advocate your cursing on Sundays. :) Hee hee.
