For whatever reason, we do not eat barbecue very often in our little town of Kyle. We have been to Milt's a handful of times. I think it is because Amber is with me when I am at home, and BBQ is not her first choice. I was excited when South Austin BBQ opened up in Kyle about six months ago. It took over the spot along I-35 where Milt's vacated when they moved. It is a family ran business with John Zamora Sr and Jr. Do not Google just South Austin BBQ. You will never find it. Add Kyle to the search.
Amber and I stopped in for lunch on a Tuesday. There are quite a few options of meat on the menu. Not many places I go to offer plates anymore so I was excited to see a 3-meat plate for twelve bucks. Count me in with moist brisket, pork ribs, and sausage. Amber got a Z-Bowl which is essential Frito pie with no cheese. The brisket was okay. It was falling apart and tasted fine. The ribs had a good flavor and were smoky, but they were dry and looked old. They were closed Sunday and Monday so hopefully I was not fed Saturday's ribs. Although the sausage was on the greasy side, it had a nice texture and snap to the casing. Beans were fine and nothing special to note about the potato salad. You get a huge portion with the Z-Bowl. It will fill you up. I wish it came with cheese. It would have brought everything together better.
I was a little disappointed in this visit. I guess I was expecting great things. I will give South Austin BBQ another shot considering it is so close to our house. I might stop in during the weekend next time. I am changing up my grading system. If I thought the barbecue was average or below average, I am going to lump them together as Other. People get really defensive or go on the offensive when the grade is low. I do not have time for all that shenanigans. The places that are above average deserve a little more recognition for what they are doing.
Until next time, happy smoking...

L'histoire était basée sur le livre du suèdois Runer Jonsson.
Cette série est conçue autour d'un narrateur, interprété par John Hurt et de son chien, une marionnette époustouflante de réalisme, créée par l'équipe de Jim Henson (egalement le papa du Muppet Show, des Fraggles Rock et de Sesame Street). Monstres et Merveilles se compose de 9 épisodes d'environ 25 minutes chacun, dans lesquels John Hurt va conter 3 histoires, souvent inspirées par le folklore des pays européens. En tout 9 histoires seront racontées dans une ambiance fantastico-médiévale.




Les personnages, les Transformers, sont des robots extraterrestres provenant de la planète Cybertron qui, pour des raisons de camouflage, ont développé la faculté de « transformer » leur apparence pour devenir des machines faisant partie de l’environnement où ils se trouvent. Sur Terre, ils se transforment surtout en véhicules, mais aussi en baladeur, en fusils, etc.
