Barbecue around Austin

I've got two weeks to go until the little bambina appears. So naturally all I can think about is food. At the same time I have no energy to write an original post.

So please check out this thread at Austin Chowhound, which discusses the absolutely fabulous barbecue joints we have within an hour of Austin. I couldn't have said it better except for the fact that I love the brisket and pork ribs at Smitty's (and I'm not really a fan of sausage anywhere).

And I've put them all on a handy google map for your next road trip adventure:
