I felt like a real Yankee Poseur coming out here — visiting a country smoke shack because I read about it in the New Yorker<\/a>.\u00a0 They didn’t seem to mind the business, though, and I certainly wasn’t out on a limb.\u00a0 Sitting at our table was a law professor (Dale Carpenter) from the University of Minnesota.\u00a0 And, when heading out we got caught in a mini traffic jam outside the shop, and directly in front of our minivan were two roundish guys with goatees in an XJ8.<\/p>\n Snow’s is only open on Saturday mornings.\u00a0 They start serving at 8AM and close when the food runs out.\u00a0 We got there at 10:30AM and they were already out of ribs and beans.\u00a0 They do not appear to be taking this opportunity to gouge…\u00a0 This pile of food (more than enough for two people, plus leftovers) cost less than $20.<\/p>\n Well… I say ‘leftovers’ but really we just ate it all and drove off in a stupor.\u00a0 A giant sausage, half a chicken, and a pound or so of pork butt.\u00a0 I don’t know a thing about Texas barbecue, so I can’t speak in relative terms.\u00a0 The chicken was salty and mustardy on the inside of the breast, which seems semi-impossible.\u00a0 The sausage was unlike any I’ve ever had — very crumbly and dry.\u00a0 This may not be what they were going for, judging from the murmering of those around us, but I found it to be about the best thing I’ve eaten in weeks.<\/p>\n The Bennigan’s next to our hotel is out of business and shuttered.\u00a0 So, perhaps justice still rules in this part of the state.<\/p>\n (Aidan, alas, is in a phase of eating only chicken nuggets and jellybread sandwiches.\u00a0 So he rolled around in the dirt for the duration of our meal, and is now in the tub.)<\/p>\n Having only just read about Snow’s Barbecue, I clamored for a visit — it;s only a bit outside of Austin (by Texas standards, at least.)
