Our friends thanked us for keeping their dog Benji last weekend by shipping us some brisket and barbecue sauce from a place called The Salt-Lick, located in Driftwood, Texas. We were shocked to receive something labeled perishable and wondered what it could be. It was a big piece of brisket, probably about 3 pounds, so we invited them over to have a cookout and share it with us today. The weather was awesome for cooking out. It was sunny with a light breeze and the high was about 75. We cooked it on the grill for about 45 minutes and had Bush's honey baked beans, corn in the husks, Texas toast that we found at the grocery store here, and some potato salad that they made. It all tasted really good and the barbecue sauce was excellent. It's a little different than what we've had before since the sauce was a little more mustard-based. The brisket was tender and flavorful too. For dessert we had angel food cake with cool whip and frozen strawberries. It was very nice of them to send us some Texas BBQ. We have some leftovers too, so that will hold us over for a little while until we visit Texas next month.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

I'm glad you invited your friends to join you. - MOM
Good post, that is what BBQing is all about. I checked out Salt Lick's website. I think they are sort of famous in Austin.
BTW, if you can see a copy of Texas Monthly, they have listed the Best BBQ joints in Texas.
