Background
Central Texas barbecue means beef, post oak smoke and salt-and-pepper seasoning, with sauce treated as optional — a tradition that came out of the Czech and German meat markets of the Texas Hill Country. Texas Monthly's barbecue list is the most closely watched ranking in the field, and placing on the out-of-state list is a rare thing for a restaurant anywhere in the Mountain West. Main Street runs through the original pioneer townsite grid.
