"One of Austin’s most celebrated smoke joints can be found on the very northern edge of the city right near the Cedar Park border. Interstellar is a major destination for barbecue enthusiasts nationwide, a fact easily proven by the restaurant’s painfully long lines during weekend service. Bring a beer cooler and some lawn chairs, and get ready to hang out in the parking lot for a while. But once you make your way up to the counter, you’ll be able to enjoy juicy and tender brisket, sweet and savory peach-tea-glazed pork belly, and the moistest smoked turkey breast you’ve ever tried." - taylor tobin, nicolai mccrary
