It's going to be real interesting out in these parts when John Mueller, grandson of Louie Mueller gets his new operation running this summer.
 
This is where Aaron Franklin paid his dues before opening his own place.
 
We've always been real serious about our brisket out in these parts but I've never seen this level of excitement about barbecue.
 
 

Yeah, when you can get there early enough and they still have BBQ to sell.
Watch the entire video until the end. If you're familiar with, and love central Texas BBQ, you'll really appreciate the last line.

I thought Salt Lick was supposed to be great.

I'll wait to comment on that after more people have watched and made their own comments. I do have something to say about what you wrote but, I don't want to spoil it for those that have not seen the video yet.

 Did not like.
