Heading to Frelsburg to pick up a sausage stuffer then heading back to Fort Worth. Should be in Giddings around lunch time. What is a must have at City Market? I understand it's not the best in the world. I've just never been there and want to experience the history. Not expecting Top 50 worthy food.

Well, it was absolute ****, but it was like a museum so I wasn't upset at all. Glad I got to experience it. Got there about 12:40 and there were no ribs and about 1/2 lb of brisket that was the worst looking smoked beef I had seen. Was a triangle of the flat that was sitting on the counter so was not going to be good. I got a half chicken and a link. The best part was the white bread, onions, and knowing I was in a 100 year old bbq joint. I'm a sausage snob...obviously no binder in the mix, definitely 100% beef, not enough seasoning, but history.





About 15 minutes after I left the museum I was in Lexington at 1:25-ish on a Saturday. I was praying that I could grab a pork steak. Ghost town. I wonder how many lbs of meat they served and when they sold out. There was nobody there. Amazing.

Went on Thursday around 2pm. Surprisingly NOT crowded! Got the two meat (wet brisket and beef cheeks)/two side (kale slaw and fried red potatoes) plate and added a sausage link. They have a full bar as well which is nice and very Austin lol!

Having full bars is pretty common, at least here in Houston. Pit Room, Pinkertons, Blood Brothers and Truth do, and the new Terry Blacks on Shepherd will too.
