Spent a week in Austin eating bbq, mostly my favorites including Franklin (30 min wait on a Tuesday in February), Leroy and Lewis, Interstellar and Micklethwait’s (had a new brick and mortar). Excellence all around for spots that I assume are well covered in terms of reviews.
On my way down to San Antonio (Austin tacos and Tex-Mex remain mediocre) I stopped at burnt bean in Seguin. While not exactly unknown as a top 5 place on the most recent Texas monthly top 50 list, it remains a bit under the radar. I was there for the Thursday pork steak special which was phenomenal. 1.5 lbs of thick cut shoulder, smoked with a dirt rice and beans for sides. The typical brisket, sausage and ribs looked excellent as well. Worth the 1 hour drive from Austin.
