True that in Texas the standard by which good BBQ is judged is usually the beef brisket. But pork ribs are a close second, followed by sausage (pork). Those are the big three staples of Texas BBQ. Everything else - pork butt, often served as "pulled pork", chicken, and turkey is usually available but not nearly as popular as those three. You can sometimes get beef ribs too but many places don't serve them.

Even that is regional however. In general pork is more popular in East Texas, which tends to be culturally more like the South.

If you ever find yourself in Decatur, Alabama and there's very few reasons why you should, stop in and try Big Bob Gibson's BBQ pork with white sauce.

Withhold judgement until you've tried it.

One small chain that has impressed me is Shane's Rib Shack. I think they are out of The Carolina's.

Aw, Jerry, now you tell me! :lol: I was in the area just last weekend. We spent Mother's Day weekend with our family in the Hill Country, fishing, canoeing, and relaxing at a beautiful place called Mo-Ranch, located on the Guadalupe River about 10 miles west of Hunt. We didn't go through Blanco but we stopped and ate on the way there at a German place in Fredericksburg, and in Kerrville on the way home. Could just as easily have gone to Blanco.

There is no place in Texas I don't see beauty. (even Midland and west) But the Hill country is the crown. What a great area and all the little towns have their special appeal. The art in Kerrville, the German influence in Fredericksburg and the lovely rolling hills all around plus the abundant wild life and flowers. Perfect place and you have some great pictures. Thanks.

Beautiful pics Ken. Thanks for sharing.

Some of the best KY BBQ I have had was a little hole in the wall in Paducah, Kentucky. Starnes BBQ. Place was a blast from the past like a 50s or 60s diner. No frills as far as decor. The pork or whatever was on plain old white sandwich bread as I recall. No designer buns. I may be incorrect but I recall it was a cash only joint. That was like 8 or more years ago.
Nice small town. The airport terminal was about the size of my house.

The area around Hunt & Ingram on the Guadalupe is some of the prettiest in the Hill Country. It is especially pretty along the Guadalupe river in early November when the Cypress leaves change color. There is a state park near to Hunt named Lost Maples State park that is also worth a visit (on an uncrowded weekday lol) during the fall. I live about 50 miles downstream from Kerrville close to the Guadalupe. The Hill country towns of Kerrville, Fredericksburg, and Boerne are some of the best small towns you could hope to find in my opinion.

Ken, I'm surprised you didn't include a family photo from Stonehenge II in Ingram :) :-P

Ken, Doggleg,

I have to agree with you fella's. The Texas Hill Country is my favorite part of Texas. It"s just beautiful any where you look.

Success with the new Eastern Blue Bird box after the old one with a different opening was always taken over. I count three chics. Larks took to nesting in another. Mrs. Robin built a nest in the bird feeder again. Busy sitting on four blue eggs. ::ds::

I planted these Cala Lillie’s under our purple plum tree about five years ago. They come up every Spring, but this is the first year they have ever made flowers.
