On your way out...

...get some barbecue!

Even in the airport, I have to find good food, so just now my dear friend and colleague Marty C and I stopped at the Salt Lick BBQ in the Austin airport for brisket and beer. This place does a fantastic job; the brisket and turkey were both tender, smoky and juicy. The house sauce is thin and tangy and they serve coleslaw, beans and potato salad, and soft bread to go along with the main course. The beans were just a little sub-par, but since I'll be in a small metal tube with other people who need to breathe for the next few hours, that's not a bad thing.

So stop by the Salt Lick stand on your way out of town, for one last taste of Austin!
