Yes, we made it...
It was a BBQ feast!
Firts stop was the Salt Lick, per your recommendation - great brisket and smoked sausage - good thing we got there early because the line after 12 was almost 2 hours long, plus they ran out of food at 3pm...!
Had some ribs and another brisket which was also very nice and then some more ribs... you get the idea!
Then for "dessert" we had some tacos form a new taco stand, carnitas with green sauce and a corn on the cob slathered with mayo, queso fresco and chili powder...
