Second Helpings: Austin Barbecue

11. The Salt Lick

FM 1826, Driftwood, 512/858-4959

Daily, 11am-10pm

This is where to take expatriate Texans (or mere wannabes) who need a barbecue epiphany that will hold them over until next year. The $13.95 family platter service gives you all the brisket, pork ribs, and sausage you can hold plus sides of beans, potato salad, and coleslaw. If you still have room, try the enormous peach cobbler with a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream. Remember to BYOB if you want to drink.
