490 Miles for Barbecue
I drove 490 miles roundtrip for barbecue. Luling City Market sells some storied offerings from the barbecue pit. Actually, I did not make the drive just to buy barbecue. I happened to be in Bexar County, and I stopped off on my way back to Houston. City Market does not provided utensils for dining, and they serve the barbecue wrapped in sheets of butcher paper. I skirted this lack of forks by purchasing some beef brisket for carryout.
The beef was seared on the outside, with a flavorful, crunchy crust, and it was moist and tender on the inside. It had an intensely smoky flavor. I hope using a fork and knife is not considered cheating.

If you ever find your way to San Angelo, stop by Old Time Pit BBQ on Bryant. The brisket usually is excellent, though on a couple occasions I got more fat than meat. Everything else is outstanding as well.

One time I drove 23 miles for Taco Bell.
Not really worth it.

Oh no! You should come eat BBQ in Driftwood at the Salt Lick. Much better than the Luling BBQ.
Well, at least that's how I recall it. I haven't eaten beef in 9.5 years.
