Well, sugar, if you’re fixin’ for a true‐Blue Texas BBQ experience, we took a road trip out of Austin to visit The Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood—and let me tell you: it’s rich in history, heavy on the smoke, and full of charm.

Well now, gather ’round and settle in—because this one’s a true Texas tale of smoke, meat and charm. We’re talkin’ about La Barbecue, a landmark on the East Side of Austin that’s earned its stripes (and its star) for doing whole-hearted, no-nonsense Central Texas BBQ.
