Syzygies Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 A few decades ago I was at a math conference in College Station, Texas, and lead various forays into the town's ok BBQ. On yet another wine buying stop for the courtyard parties at our hotel, I asked if I'd found the best place. I don't It's tough being a New Yorker, while traveling. Paragraphs flit by in one's mind in the pauses between words, elsewhere. It's polite to appear to be paying attention, but that requires focus. eat barbecue Oh gawd! I'm asking the one vegetarian outside Austin! How do I get out of this conversation gracefully? round here! Well then! He sent me to Elgin, Texas. They're known for their hot links, sold in supermarkets across the state, but there were several places selling extraordinary brisket. My own best efforts would be #2, #3, #4 for me, but they were #1. I brought back more on the plane to NYC (causing some commotion) to reheat at the kind of wine tasting I now avoid. They started ordering delivery. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C6Bill Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 (edited) I used to order the hot links from a place in Elgin, i always had a few dozen in the freezer. But about two years ago the shipping costs soared and i just couldnt justify it anymore.

qundoy Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Elgin "Hot Guts" sausages are legendary! I lived in Bastrop for several years, i would buy the sausages from a butcher on the south side of town. Hogs coming in the back door were sold in the cold case at the front of the building. Wish i could still get them that fresh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C6Bill Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 The best part of my trips to Dallas were fried chicken at Babe's Fride Chicken Dinner House and then Hard 8 BBQ, especially the sausage and brisket !!! I loved Babe's, only two things on the menu, fried chicken or chicken fried steak and it was always served family style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
