Texas BBQ: Augie's and The Salt Lick

Augie's BBQ in San Antonio
It's not a visit to Texas without barbecue.  We took a walk off the beaten path to find Augie's BBQ in San Antonio where I had a sublime brisket sandwich and a cold Lone Star beer. 

Cozy warehouse-style BBQ on the edge of San Antonio's downtown.

Augie's was arguably great, but our guide book told us the best barbecue in central Texas was The Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas.  Just on the outskirts of Austin, we made a detour to try out this institution.  I had brisket again (for comparison's sake), plus some Shiner beer (bottled in Shiner, TX) and some delicious sides.  Verdict?  Both are worth going out of your way to get.
