    Now I know what normal people feel like in Austin...no special stories to report and it wasn't free.  lmao

    The food was unreal...La Barbecue really hit out of the park!  No @eggcelsior and The Cen-Tex Smoker, it wasn't better than Franklin, but a 30min wait for this quality of BBQ is hard to beat!  :-\" The pork ribs blew me away!  Last visit, I thought the pork rib was pretty bad...the low point of the visit.  After I left, I texted John and told him how unreal they were.  He said he just changed his seasoning and glaze on the ribs and was glad I liked it.  The glaze was good and the seasoning was very bold.

    Exceptional flat!!   =P~

    Man, the boy had a great time playing in the rain!  I'll call this the ever changing faces of Kyle!   :)

    Next, I wanted to hit up Micklethwait Craft Meats  so I could get a sammie on his homemade bread.  The brisket isn't on the same level as Franklin or La, but damn, the bread made that sandwich!  Brisket had nice strong flavors and just enough fat.

    Looks like you had a blast again. That roll is what I'd like to try, just got some of my bread books back after loaning them out, want to work on a good roll, that crust looks perfect.

    what a sorry life you lead... eating stellar bbq... occasionally for free, at that.

    I wish it were mine :)

    BTW, I would gladly take the 30min wait at La Barbecue over the many hours in line for Franklin's. I don't care how good it is. 

    And the pics of your boy are priceless. Looks like he had a great time!

    Nice report cazzy, you're spoiling the boy with all this good Texas Q.  ;)

    I know you love Franklin, but man, you've got my full attention.  Would gladly wait 30 minutes for that Texas offering sampler.  Even the sandwhich at Micklethwait looks perfectly cooked.

    Thanks everyone!  

    @caliking @PNWFoodie @SmokeyPitt

    I'm obviously partial to him, but he's just a fun kid!  Lot's of energy and very loving!  PNW, I think he's beautiful too!   :)

    @nolaegghead  I always like compliments like that from a fellow shooter!  Preesh!

    Yeah man!  I will still do Franklin 2-3 times a year...but La BBQ is a once a month type of place!  

    That was a killer sammie, would get it again in a heart beat!  For his plates, he hands out homemade thick cut white bread!  He's using the same brisket packer that they use at La BBQ.  IBP Prime CAB

    Looks like a great weekend spent with your little man tearing up some stellar BBQ. Enjoy it! They grow up way to fast. Our Son is 19 and with 3 jobs, college and his band playing gigs I don't get to see him nearly enough. We have a tight family so it blows not seeing him (pre-empty nest syndrome I guess). Good to see good Dads out there that step it up to be there for their Sons and Daughters :-). Here's a song my wife and I would sing to each other when we thought we were "to busy" for family and it is so true. I'm glad I've put family first :). And appears you do also ;)

    Has anyone else noticed how posts are all out of whack?  NPH was responding to me calling him a hippie, but it's showing up before my post.  

    *******It just did it again...this should be most recent!

    @cazzy‌ ...I'm a 2nd amendment sort of hippie. Peace through superior fire power. :-P + I'm not much of a singer but, that song has a powerful and true message. Always busting balls aren't ya :-). Was just saying your a good Dad :-)

    You weren't lying, you are a hippie! Were you all wearing tie dye shirts when you serenaded one another?   :P

    You're right, they do grow up very fast!  Trying to enjoy as much as I can!
