Best BBQ on Earth
About 30 minutes from downtown Austin is The Saltlick, perhaps the world's top destination for barbecue lovers. The Saltlick is located in Driftwood, a small village in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, a land of green hills, hidden waterfalls and, of course, barbecue. If you pass through Texas, you simply can't miss it. The Saltlick is a partly open-air restaurant, something important when temperatures reach 100 + degrees in the summer. The meat is mainly beef and highlights are ribs, brisket, and sausage. Texas BBQ is unique: we cook it low and slow using lots of smoke and heat, not just fire.
