Instapundit has just found out there's very little Texans don't take seriously when it comes to barbeque. I especially liked this comment to Tennessean Glenn: "They [Texans] were making barbeque there when people in Tennessee were still living in trees and eating pig guts."
The brisquette served in this hole-in-the-wall place in Austin (the Foundry?) was indeed very tasty, but IMO properly prepared dry-rub pork ribs are without parallel. Then again, I drink wine out of a box, what do I know?
MMMMM, dry rub ribs are soooo tasty when done right. Red, Hot, and Blue does a great dry rub rib.

The way you can tell a great BBQ joint is by how many times it has burnt down. The original Corky's on Poplar Ave. has burnt down 3 times (best wet ribs and pulled pork in Memphis) and the Germantown Commissary has burnt down twice (great dry rub but also pretty good wet). So, if you are ever in Memphis, look up one of those two.
