Began the Texas BBQ Tour 2017 today.
The journey started out cruising the back roads, headed towards BBQ heaven, the Texas Hill Country. It is definitely spring in Texas...the young calves are staying close to their mothers, same with the newly born kids (baby goats for you city slickers). The chicken houses were in full bloom...and the scent carried for miles downwind. The famous wildflowers have already seen their better days, but the roadsides were still lightly colored - they will be scorched brown by the end of May, as we are already in the 90's.
My first BBQ stop was at Louie Muellers in Taylor, Texas
