The story about the family breakup over smoked meats referred to ‘Kreutz Market’ barbecue in Lockhart TX. As it turns out, since I emigrated from Texas the grandchildren of the family have made nice and opened a new place nearer Austin.

How famous is the meat? This picture is from an exposé in nyc’s pedestrian paper, The Village Voice. This is how ‘true’ bbq is served. No sauce, no plate, no slaw. Add anything on punishment of exile.
