THE Salt Lick

 

Last weekend we drove to Driftwood, TX with some friends for some awesome barbeque at the Salt Lick restaurant.  This restaurant has awesome reviews and has been featured on a few Food Network shows, most recently “The Best Thing I Ever Ate”  where Bobby Flay raved about beef ribs, and Duff Goldman (the Ace of Cakes) raved about the combo plate.

 

Doug and I have been drooling over this place for years, but just never made the drive.  We finally made the drive, and it was SO worth the trip.  

 

We didn’t order the beef ribs since they are only available on Sundays.  We ordered family style, all you can eat.  Sausage, beef brisket and pork ribs.  Potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, and white bread.  Barbeque sauce.  Habanero barbeque sauce.  My mouth is watering.  I didn’t really eat much of the sides.  I think they were just okay. Nothing spectacular. The meat was another story.  Memorable.  Amazing.  Flavorful.  I didn’t know that pork ribs could taste THAT good.  Wow.

 

I was too excited about the food, and my hands were a little messy, so I didn’t get very many pictures of the food.  Actually, I didn’t get any good pictures of the food.  But I took some cute pictures of friends and family while we waited for our table. Cutie pie Tanner.

Timmy.  Yes, his hat is almost always crooked.

I knew I should have worn makeup. 

I love him.  He’s hot.  :)

Timmy likes being in charge of the pager.

Tanner loves to look at his reflection in Daddy’s sunglasses.

The Haessigs.  Super fun friends.  They love food as much as we do.  :)

Tanner found a feather.  Annabelle wasn’t impressed.

Esther and Annabelle.  Cute!

Craig and Annabelle.  She was ready for a nap, but there was just too much excitement.

 

Brandon, how did you avoid every single picture I took?!  Thanks for coming with us! It was so much fun!

 

We had so much fun, we’re already planning our return trip.  October.  We’re taking my dad there for his birthday.  Oh, I can’t wait!
