"La Barbecue has been at it since 2011—with a family history that goes back way, way longer—amassing a large, dedicated following. The seasoning here leans heavy on the pepper in both the barbecue and some of the sides (a make-or-break for some people). But once you make it through the inevitable line, you’d be hard pressed to find a more beautiful piece of brisket. Grab as much meat as you can carry, and enjoy it on their shaded patio or a nearby park on Town Lake." - nicolai mccrary, adele hazan, raphael brion
