Ruby Tuesday

One last image from Austin, Texas. This is Iron Works Barbecue. The building is over 100 years old and began life as an iron works. Rustic doesn't begin to describe this place! You just gotta go there to take it all in. The BBQ is good. It's not my idea of award winning, slap your mamma, good BBQ, but it is good. When your in Texas, beef is the usually the meat of choice and the quality of the BBQ is generally measured by the brisket. Iron Works does a credible brisket. Their sauce is pretty good as well. The atmosphere is ONE OF A KIND! I love this place.

  1. Any place that can slow smoke any meat to the nice pink done-ness of true BBQ is truly fine, indeed!

  2. Not a Ronnie Bills standard huh?
    I am picky about my BBQ. And I don't usually do beef but if the atmosphere is good it's worth it to visit.

  4. Was it sweet? Or hot and spicy?
    I have Texas on my "check one day" list!

  5. You and I are from the same stock. Slap your mamma is a favorite term for me too. I also love a good BBQ. Next time you go may I go with you?

    Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)

  6. Ralph: You got that right.

    judi: I prefer pork over beef, but in Texas, they usually do beef better than their pork.

    Carletta: You're most welcome.

    Ellie: Neither actually. It was a little spicy, but I definitely wouldn't call it hot and it certainly wasn't KC Masterpiece sweet.

    Sandee: Come on down, the more the merrier. I think I may be going back in January.

  10. Looks like an intriguing place. I enjoyed scrolling down and looking at your Austin photos. Especially enjoyed your varied perspectives on the woman with the canon, an interesting object from even one perspective.

  13. It's been ages since I had good bbq. There's a place up the street from my office. They do an excellent pulled pork sammich. I might have to trudge up there next week.
