CENTEX ADV: Quest for the HOLY SMOKE!

The Old Spanish Trail is a legend in Bandera. I always try to stop for breakfast even if I'm not hungry. The place oozes character. Bring a swim suit because there is a excellent swimming hole just down the street on the river. Don't forget to wait a half hour after eating to swim. Don't cramp up!

Mom always made us wait a whole hour.

I have never been there..that good?

Excellent breakfast. Great gathering spot.

WHAT! You live "Deep in the Heart" and you've never been to the OST? Oh the shame!... Your probably a Wash. Redskins fan too?...

No watchy no football Could not tell ya who won what or when

I know this thread is supposed to be about restaurants, but it looked like a decent place to post my work... spent 17 hours smoking 2 boston butts over hickory for pulled pork... and also threw in a pan of bacon for borracho beans. It's a lot of work, but it's amazing stuff.

Because most of the BBQ judges on this site have already consumed more BBQ and the appropriate accompanying alcoholic beverages than is required to kill mere mortals, I'm sure they would like me to do the physical testing on your recent work of art. The Boulder Ed brand manager, SOG, must have not spotted this opportunity for a live appearance. It looks like a winner to me!

That's a lot of meat. Y'all having a party? Looks good. What time should we arrive?

Hmmm. Kaiser is in the Austin area. Lunch is 2 hours away. It's 2 hours to Austin....hmmmm. Coincidence? I think not.

I should have had one, shouldn't I? The girlfriend is out of town - I made 20lbs of pork and a huge dutch oven full of beans and i'm the only one here :eek1

You didn't attend Dale Carnegie did you? I think maybe deep down there is some NJ yankee in you!

A quick reminder. This is Texas where beef is king. Pork is for bacon.... Well maybe for ribs too.

Hard to beat a great pork RIB!

Nope, just push it out of the way with a real rib. One made of beef!

It's all what you like....just never had a beef rib that beat a good pork rib

The best beef rib I've had was at County Line in Albeqourque, NM. That was years ago.

The beef ribs at its affiliate, State Line, in El Paso weren't that great last I was there.

Since I already went out of state the best steak I've ever paid money to have cooked for me came from the Moose Lodge in Lake City, CO. The steak was good enough that we told the waitress to thank the cook for us. She did and he came out and chatted with us. It turns out he was a crusty old cowboy
(from Texas?) and a real nice dude to boot!

Where is the Moose Lodge? I had real good BBQ in Lake City..turns out the people that owned it were from Fredricksburg

Coming in from TX Moose Lodge is on the left in the middle of town. If it's still there. That was a long time ago.

Coming from the same direction are you talking about the little BBQ place on the right? With the deck outside? I had a great BBQ sandwhich with brisket and sausage there a couple of years ago. I was really shocked but if they're from TX that explains a lot.
