Ribfest was back on Sparks street this week. With the smell of BBQ permeating the downtown core, many were drawn out of their usual lunch routines to dine on pork ribs, pulled port, chicken, beans and cornbread.

The best BBQ I have ever had.

The estancia, owned by the same family for over 100 years, is set in a 2,470 acre ranch that produces 12,000 liters of milk daily. It is used by the Uruguayan government when entertaining guests, offering them an authentic glimpse of Uruguayan life. Part of the fun is travelling to the river by choice of a hay truck, an old model T or a horse drawn carriage. A traditional barbeque (asado) is served accompanied by national wines.

This culinary meat master prepares all red and white meats by boiling them in differently flavored broths and adding additional flavors thereafter. I've posted images of the BBQ pitmaster and wok chef, so it's an impressive kitchen brigade, working in a small space with little room for a guy with a camera. For this shot, I'm hunkered down on an almost vertical and narrow and dark set of sticky stairs to a storage space atop the kitchen (and wishing I had my 28mm Q2). In addition to being skilled artisans, these chefs shuffle about in this cramped and slippery kitchen like ballet dancers.

 Like being in another century. Incredible!

World War II veteran Vencil Mares was probably the oldest living pitmaster in Texas. He served as a medic on D-Day, and operated the Taylor Cafe for seventy-one years (starting in 1948). Mares passed away on November 24.

 

That's the Texas Eagle rolling into Taylor to pick up passengers in the background.

Imagine biting into perfectly smoked, fall-off-the-bone pork ribs
 and they’re completely keto-approved. Yes, it’s possible. These Smoked Pork Ribs aren’t just juicy and flavorful, they’re crafted to fuel your low-carb lifestyle without compromise.

✔ Zero added sugar, gluten-free, and low-carb

✔ Cooked low and slow to develop deep smoky flavor

✔ Packed with healthy fats and protein, ideal for sustaining energy

 

đŸ”„ Flavor Boosting Tips You’ll Love:

 

* Add garlic powder or smoked paprika to deepen the flavor profile.

* Grilled low-carb veggies

The title of Pitmaster is an important title. A BBQ Pitmaster is a respected man among men.

Franklin Barbecue debuted in December 2009 by husband and wife team, Aaron and Stacy Franklin out of a truck in an East Austin parking lot off Interstate 35. The then 30-year old Aaron, whose parents had owned a barbecue stand in his native Bryan, bought a pit from his former employer, John Mueller, a descendant of the legendary Mueller barbecue clan of Taylor and started smoking his own meat. By spring the press had caught on and the lines would snake around the block forcing the operation to a brick and mortar location, located at 900 East 11th Street, in March 2011. Lines form outside the door hours before the 11am opening, and the "sold out" sign usually goes up around 1pm.

 

In 2010, Bon Appetit hailed Franklin BBQ as the best in America. In 2011, Franklin's was named the best brisket at the Texas Monthly BBQ Festival. Franklin Barbecue has been featured on the Travel Channel television show, Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. And Aaron Franklin has been a judge on the television reality competition, BBQ Pitmasters.

This past weekend people gathered to celebrate the life and personality of Carl Ruiz, a chef who was hysterical in person, he left you completely entertained and usually well fed or tipsy after a few drinks and good times. He unfortunately passed recently so his friends + family gathered at Pig Beach in Brooklyn to enjoy his favorite foods and pay respect to a true original American character. Great pitmasters from around the country gathered including Pat Martin of Nashville and Sam Jones from North Carolina, Billy Durney from Brooklyn, and Chaps PIt Beef in Maryland to make some of Carl's personal favorite foods for everyone. His instagram was a funny one, you can check it out here: www.instagram.com/saborchef/

The Brenham barbecue favorite just opened this weekend.

It’s the brainchild of pitmaster Leonard Botello IV, who first opened his Hill Country smokehouse in 2015. Since then he’s earned heaps of accolades in Brenham, including a top-ten spot on Texas Monthly’s list of the state’s best barbecue joints.

  

Originally from Lockhart, TX we are lucky to have a Blacks Restaurant in Austin! If you are ever in the city you should give it a try.
