My wife and I were fortunate enough to eat at the pop up at La Selva Beach when Gold came out to…read moreCalifornia this summer. The folks behind the dinner created the perfect balance of a thought out, delicious meal with a casual, welcoming atmosphere. I expected Mike to have a good grasp on cooking up meat, Texans usually do (or at least should), but I was still pretty damned impressed when I tasted that brisket. I loved his approach to sourcing ingredients, supporting small farming programs by local youth. One thing not to be understated was how well the meal timing was managed. The California coast gets real cold real quick, and every dish was brought out hot enough to warm you to your core (truly a feat for anyone who has even tried to grill burgers on the beach for more than four people.) Loved the pork belly, loved the shrimp and grits, absolutely loved the mexican street corn. Only complaint was that I broke the wooden fork that was set out for me, but thats kind of my fault for eating like a neanderthal. Almost forgot that balsamic ice cream. Damn that was great. Looking forward to visiting the truck in Lockhart sooner than later.

Very nice lady and the food was really good. The chilaquiles and gorditas were amazing.read more

You enter the building and are immediately in front of the pit and even some open fire. You order your meat from the guys and pay there. Then you can go into the dining room and order sides, or just eat your meat like we did. They aren't kidding when they say "no forks." They just give you knives, but the brisket barely needs a knive.

A Lockhart classic that's been around for ages as a true OG. While in town to visit Barb's B-Q, my…read morebuddy and I stepped out of line briefly for a quick trip to Smitty's. The firewood sits on the ground as you walk in as a part of their open-fire cooking style bringing smoke into the brick pits. These new school smokers don't do it like Smitty's. As we walked in at 10:30, there was no line. We asked for the simplest order. A single slice of brisket and a single slice of turkey. It was about $12 all in. As we sat down with one of the 4 pieces of butcher paper for 2 slices of meat, I noticed that there are no forks at Smitty's. Just knives. We got to work. The turkey was fantastic. Barbecue turkey is honestly an underrated concept and their turkey was juicy, soft, and would change any Thanksgiving meal to one for the history books. I was extremely disappointed in the slice of brisket though. It was extremely chewy like plastic. Decently seasoned but not tender at all. Probably a bit undercooked. It was worth visiting for the experience, especially to get a picture next to the fire pit, which one of the people on staff was nice enough to take for us. As we walked out, we noticed tons of their awards and recognitions. It's cool to give a classic originator of Texas barbecue a hat tip like we did. RIYL: The originators or fire on the floor
