Lockhart, Texas- Hungry neighbors descend upon Lockart BBQ joint buying all the brisket and ribs. Customers leave sad and confused as the place closes due to the sell out.
Okay not really, but it did feel like that as husband brought a pound of brisket, one sausage link, 2 ribs and one pork chop to the table. He plunked the paper wrapped meat on the table, grease seeping through. Fave friends from the 'hood came over with about the same amount. They also got sides. I didn't want to waste space in my stomach with potato salad or slaw, just a lite beer to wash it down. Kiddo stuffed his face with juicy meat and soft white bread.
I started with the pork chop. You need to eat that when it is hot before it gets dried out. Then I had a small taste of brisket but went on to demolish the ribs. The meat pulled right off the bone. It melted in my mouth. Now for the brisket. We once made the mistake of buying shoulder which has less fat but is not as succulent. WE got REAL brisket today. I leisurely cut my meat and savored each bite.
The only interruption in the feast was to get up to get kiddo a chocolate ice cream cone for a buck. Got him set up and had a bit more brisket. Smitty's was dead on today. The meat was wonderful.
We all piled into the hot car, slipped into our food comas and were pretty quiet the whole ride home.
We could not help but notice a bit of bad luck for Kruetz's. They are building an over pass over the railroad tracks. This make the highway bypass Kruetz's somewhat so you really have to know were you are going to get there. Fortunately for them, the building is so huge you cannot miss it, you may pass it but you will not miss it.
