City Cast Austin

Why Austin Is the Most Competitive Barbecue City in the U.S.

Listen Later

Gone are the days when people seeking good barbecue in these parts had to go on a road trip: Nowadays, a good smoked brisket is a stone’s throw away from basically every Austinite. And maybe as a result of the sheer number of great barbecue joints, it takes more than a good smoked brisket to impress the Central Texan palate. On today’s episode, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Texas Monthly’s barbecue editor, Daniel Vaughn, to talk about Austin’s best budget and splurge barbecue, local standouts, and where to find some excellent macaroni and cheese. Plus, hear how Vaughn survives days-long barbecue trips that require multiple stops in one day.
