Austin had another awesome showing in Texas Monthly's list of the Top 50 Barbecue Joints in Texas. The capital city placed eight restaurants in the Top 50 (that's 16%, for you non-math wizards). The list is released every four years, and LeRoy and Lewis, which has had an amazing transition from trailer to restaurant, moved up to #2 from #5, where it placed on the 2021 list. Interstellar Barbecue, near Anderson Mill, dropped three spots, but still holds an impressive space at #6 on the list.

Anytime a friend visits my family home on River Road in Wimberley for the first time, we usually saunter out to the back patio to take in the tranquil trickle of the Blanco River. The conversation eventually turns toward Memorial Day weekend 2015, and we walk back to the house. When we reach the sliding glass door on the screened-in porch, I kneel to the bottom of the doorframe, where the door touches the floor, and point to a faint line drawn by my mother with a Sharpie.
