Arancini.

What do you know? I've always just called them "fried risotto balls". It's what happens if there is any risotto left over from the night before.

I’m a medical sales manager and my team got me a Goldbelly gift card for Xmas. Decided to use it for a brisket from Franklin BBQ. Had to order two months out! I have to say I was skeptical but it reheated beautifully. Pretty damn good too.
Unknown to me at the time, I found out I’m actually headed to Austin twice in the next couple months! If I can get an extra day I make go there in person.

Welcome to Austin!
Thanks!

I haven’t been here in almost 20 years! The BBQ scene is 100x better now. Basically the Salt Lick and Stubs then if I remember. We spent two nights here and two in San Antonio back then and I made my wife (GF at the time) stop in Lockhart where I ate at Smittys and Kreuz Market back to back!

I’m fortunate enough to travel and have eaten BBQ in every BBQ region except KC. I have to say Texas is king. My favorite style by a LONG shot.

Lockhart BBQ is still great, I went to Kreuz Market just last year after a fishing trip. Food coma hit hard after that! Agreed, there's tons more BBQ places here now especially up around the suburbs which have a lot to offer. Austin has changed a lot in 20 years! Lots of growth and development downtown which I avoid most of the time as I don't like the hectic nature of it as I have gotten older. I was there every weekend when younger (sometimes more than once a week).

Interesting - what would you call the BBQ regions?

I only ask because BBQ is literally the oldest form of cooking (meat+fire), and therefore every section of the world (except maybe France) has some regional form of BBQ with Korean BBQ probably rivalling any American form. Add to that things like sauce, and you have some very specific regional flavored sauces in the US alone (Kentucky Whiskey, Alabama White, South Carolina Gold, Piedmont Ketchup, etc.).

I can't remember the name of the Netflix cooking documentary that talks about it, but this link lines it up pretty well too

More specific to your question, around here it's mainly post oak wood for smoking. Brisket and ribs are the foundation with some sausage as a side meat. It's mostly a dry rub with very light sweetness. I like sweeter so at home I add a bit more brown sugar :)

Some places refused to give you bbq sauce for the longest time but have relented more recently to please the masses.
