"the best barbeque in the country is just 20 minutes south of Austin"

Which is? If I am ever in Austin, I'd like to look it up.

Pretty much any place in Lockhart, though Smitty's and Black's are the two most famous.

I went out of my way last time to find well-recommended, off-the-beaten-track BBQ in Memphis (we did a road trip from Chicago to Austin this summer), and was disappointed. Slate had the same experience.
