Barbecue restaurant · East Cesar Chavez

"Rollin Smoke, which recently moved to Arbor Food Park, is a legendary food truck, even in Austin—the city that introduced the world to food trucks. It is often referred to as the David in this city of meaty Goliaths. We all know how that first fight went, and this popular, peppy truck can hold its own against giants like Franklin and La Barbecue. The food is fantastic quality and almost criminally underpriced for its excellence. If you're unsure what to order (or having trouble reading the menu after a bar crawl on Sixth), then reach straight for the MVP: the Playboy Sandwich. A quarter pound of brisket topped with a quarter pound of pulled pork, topped with a half-link of jalapeno cheddar pork sausage, it ticks every important barbecue box." - Jonathan Thompson
