ANOTHER ROUND OF MEAT??

ANOTHER ROUND OF MEAT??I’m going through barbecue withdrawal. Seriously — I just made a fruit smoothie and my body almost rejected it due to lack of meat intake.

There were many highlights of this year’s SXSW shennaniganza, but nearing the top of the list was our annual trek to The Salt Lick in Driftwood, TX for some serious BBQ. This time around we rocked a raging dudefest (NINE strong, including bros from Goes Cube and East of the Wall) and two joints/many beers in we were more than ready for the all-you-can-eat family style mouthwatering trifecta of some of the best brisket, ribs, and sausage known to man…

Words cannot express the barbecue high; you literally get wasted on meat. Drooling, giggling, guffawing, gurgling, gnawing, food coma — it’s all part of the excursion, and surely not to be missed.

I’m gonna pass the mic over to Adam Richman of Man vs. Food fame to elaborate:

After the jump, the true origin of the Salt Lick’s name…

Those girls sure can lick it!!
