Warning, and we're serious: unless you are within a day's drive of Texas Hill Country, or you are a vegetarian, do not under any circumstances view the above video on an empty stomach.

Steve Dolinsky joins some friends for a three day itinerary of Texas Hill Country barbecue (with a detour for Round Rock donuts [see the Roadfood.com review], just like we did on the Roadfood Hill Country tour a few years back). Brisket, short ribs, prime rib, pork ribs, coarse-ground sausage, even turkey... it's all here, and it looks amazing. Best In Show? Franklin Barbecue in Austin!
