A little time in Llano

In Texas, you've got a long way to go.  They want you to get there fast.

70 mph fast.  Yes, on a two lane non-divided highway.  They don't mess around.  Because you're hungry to get to this:

Yes, that's a whole smoker of meat.  Perfectly smoked meat.  You just walk up and tell 'em what you want.

Because you're here.  One of the most famous bar-b-que places in Texas.  In the middle of nowhere, of course, but worth the trip.

We were either too late or too early for the special.  But we were happy with the offerings of the day.

Brisket, sausage, and the biggest pork chop ever.  They have help-yourself beans on the counter.

A little scale for the pork chop.  It was perfect - juicy, smoky, tender.  Weak-in-the-knees good.

Typical Texas bar-b-que joint - rolls of paper towels on the table, loaves of white bread, and butcher paper for a plate.

I did get a bit overstimulated and could not finish the bite in my mouth before going back for more.  Be sure to make a stop if you're traveling within a hundred miles of Llano.  It's worth it.
