Classic BBQ at Johnny T’s

December 18, 2012 by

Johnny T's BBQ in Austin is a classic Texas BBQ experience, offering a good balance between smoky and spicy. Regulars flock here for the pork ribs that fall off the bone. Others love the moist brisket that lives up to its name, well-seasoned and cooked just right. This is a great lunch spot, with fast service and specials.  If you’re lucky, you’ll stop in on a day when their famous smoked brisket chili makes an appearance on the specials menu. And don't miss the homemade mustard BBQ sauce, which makes a tangy topper to your pulled pork sandwich.

Louisiana Longhorn Cafe: “Where the Bayou Meets the BBQ”

November 27, 2012 by

According to the restaurant, Louisiana Longhorn Café boasts “The Best Cajun Food West of the Sabine River.” Where’s that? In the heart of the Louisiana Bayou, of course. All the proprietors hail from Cajun Country, and LLC recreates the laid-back world they grew up in.  When we say this is an authentic experience, we’re not just talking about the Mardi Gras beads; we mean all the food comes from “borrowed” family recipes, the piquant, generations-old work of people with French names and the patience to make sure those Fried Pickles have just the right snap. The Shrimp Acadiana is a peppery eye-opener, and we haven’t had Etouffee this good since we spent a long night in New Orleans. Grab some of “The World’s Coldest Beer” and toast the alligator on the wall—they fry up his buddies here, and after one bite, you’ll wish you had a few in your back yard, too. Louisiana Longhorn Café is closed Mondays.

J Mueller BBQ: Hit The Pit

October 16, 2012 by

Texas is one of the country’s big destinations for barbecue, with a beef-centric menu and some serious slow-cooked flavor. The Hill Country is rife with barbecue joints, but locals will almost unanimously recommend J Mueller in Austin. Owner John Mueller hails from a barbecue dynasty in Taylor, Texas – his grandfather Louie’s restaurant is internationally known as one of the temples of Texas ‘cue. It took a lot for John to set out on his own, but he quickly found success in Austin. His business has had some ups and downs since then, but since opening the new location in Austin’s Bouldin Creek neighborhood, things have been looking up for Mueller. And for good reason – this is incredible barbecue, perfectly tender and flavorful. The brisket here is the meal of choice, and it’s done up as well as you can possibly do it. Beef ribs and sausage are also quite good. Note that this place has become a little more popular since it was profiled on Anthony Bourdain’s TV show.
