Austin's Texas BBQ and
Homestyle Meals
Located next door to the Tropicana Lodge Motel
Mountain View, California
| At Austin's Texas BBQ the pitmaster uses oak,
the second most popular hardwood, known for its great versatility. All
Austin's meats are slow-cooked at a constant 185 degrees, which is at the
low end of the standard 175-200 degree scale. A purveyor of Texas-style
barbecue, the pitmaster gives the meats a dry rub and cooks everything
without sauce so the Texan purist can appreciate every drop of meat juice
without interference. Austin's is certainly an old hand at smoking up a
storm.
Smoked meats are definitely the focus here, such as pulled pork and beef brisket. All the orders came on heavy off-white dinner plates, consistent with Austin's home-style atmosphere. All barbecue items come with the sauce on the side, either hot or mild (apparently many southern cooking aficionados prefer to taste the smoky meat on its own, without sauce altogether). |
