May I suggest you start in Driftwood at the Salt Lick, Smitty's in Lockhart, move on to The South Side Market in Luling and end up at Louis Meullers in Taylor.

The South Side Market I'm aware of is in Elgin. It's about the only BBQ place open on Sunday. When you get there you may be already beefed-out so try the sausage and Mutton.

For those that have followed my blog (I got a lot of hits there from this thread), I've moved it to it's own site, and greatly retooled the blog itself (now with real Google Maps integration).

Nice photos - now you're making me want to go to Blackie's next year!

The best eggs benedict I've had was at Brennan's in New Orleans.

Unfortunately, those Eggs benedict at Brennan's are $30!

Yup. All on the list. I'll see if I can post some pics from the folks that did this last year (that I'm going with this year).

Well, looks like Austin in early April is a go. Food trucks and BBQ being the top priorities. :)

I'm already jealous!

You should PM doggydaddy. He's been down there for a year now I think.

Kaszeta,
Thanks for the wonderful post. It was terrific before but adding the international just sent it over the top. The picture of the chocolates literally set my mouth to watering. Very enjoyable seeing your pictures.

Safe travels!

Bartley's is pretty good. Been there a few times.

since I have friends willing to go on a bbq bender...

Every Roadfooder needs friends like this!

Someplace in TX is definitely on the list, I've only barely touched that state in my blog and photos.
Austin is a strong possibility as well, since I have friends willing to go on a bbq bender...

How about the Austin/San Antonio area? Specifically, the Hill Country, which has to be one of the great food regions of the country. And it is probably warmer than New England right now!

Truely awesome post. Thank you. That last bit makes me yearn for some cornish pastys I had in Looe and Polpero just outside of Torpoint in Cornwall.

I like Milwaukee. Haven't done it in about 10 years. That's on the short list now. :)

Re:kaszeta's 2010 year-end review (ScreamingChicken)

Certainly Milwaukee and its lesser neighbor to the south have plenty to offer in terms of quantity and variety.

So this is a good place to ask... Where next? I've got a rather good number of free Southwest tickets that start to expire in March... Any good recommendatioons for 3 day weekends of roadfooding?

Just got back from London, myself, and concur that the liquid salted caramels at L'Artisan du Chocolat are superb. We always stay at a hotel not far from the shop on Lower Sloane Street, and love all their confections. Wonderful marzipan, praline, rose, violet and lavender creams, as well as a variety of more exotic flavors, including a wonderful assortment of different types of dark chocolate from all over the world. Plus the staff couldn't be nicer. Yum!

Interestingly, th Blackie's photo is probably the one I went the most out of my way to grab. I hadn't really intended of taking that roe through CT.

Working on 2011 already, but today's likely to be a repeat (Pepe's)

kaszeta-
The problem with putting together such a beautifully photographed year end review is now we will be expecting one every year! Believe it or not, with all of those gorgeous photos, the one that really gets to me is the hot dogs at Blackie's. Those just jump right off of the screen. Thanks for the great thread!

Wow--absolutely gorgeous photos kaszeta! I would like to follow you around some, but I'm especially bitter I didn't know about Izzy's, particularly since I was in St. Paul a few days ago. Dammit! Well I guess I'm gonna have to go back. :)

Re:kaszeta's 2010 year-end review (kaszeta)

Thanks. 2011 should be a good year. I've got another San Francisco trip planned already, and will likely go to Dublin as well. May do London again (my brother lives there), either as it's own trip, or attached to the Dublin trip.

Wow! You had a really interesting food year. Thanks for sharing your adventures and photos from such a wide array of places. Most West African places have not lasted long in Portland but the foods I've eaten have been quite tasty.

Find proper Jamon Iberico in the US used to be almost impossible between FDA rules and Spanish export controls, but you can find it here in the US now if you search around (I know I've bought it at the Bi Rite Market in San Francisco, for example, although it's $100/lb. Most of the good stuff I had in Spain was still pricey, but only about $50/lb). It is splendid.

That plate of jamon looks awesome. I've seen it used on a few cooking shows and would love to get ahold of some (which probably wouldn't be any more difficult than finding the right market).
