Second Helpings: Austin Barbecue
Fri., March 17, 2000
8. Fuschak's Pit BBQ
920 Hwy. 80, San Marcos, 512/353-2713
Daily, 11am-9pm
Fuschak's has been family-owned and -operated since 1966, and has a rustic wood interior decorated with antique farm implements. The meats are smoked over hickory in a rotisserie pit from the Fifties. As it circulates, the meats baste each other, rendering an ultra-moist product. Place your order at the counter from a menu that includes pork ribs, sausage, brisket, beef fajitas, chicken, turkey, and, on Mondays, sirloin steak. Be sure to check out the Bar-Burrito, a flour tortilla stuffed with brisket, refried beans, cheese, hot and barbecue sauces, and onions. Traditional sides are available, including homemade banana pudding and pecan pie for dessert.
