The Salt Lick is where Sammy Allred got in trouble for parking his band
truck in the way
of the owners parking spot or something. I think they called the cops or
something.
Sammy Allread is on the famous morning Sam and Bob Show and Sanny is
orneriest talk
show guy you’ll ever run into. If you call in, get ready to get your head
bitten off. It’s in
a way out of the way country road out by Dripping Springs or Blanco
somewhere. I hear
it’s good. I almost went there once.
County Line (been there), Ruby’s HHBQ and Rudy’s (been there too) got
runner up.
Honorable mention: Sam’s, Stubbs, and Green Mesquite (done that too).
My vote would have to be a toss up between the County Line, Rudy’s, and
the Green
Mesquite. Green Mesquite gets the most hip points, Rudy’s is highest on
the bubbaland
pickup index, and County Line is off the trendy chart somewhere.
If you came to Austin and asked to go out to a barbecue, I’d probably take
you to the Iron
Works down by the convention center or to the County Line if I wanted to
impress you.
County Line has a great view of the Hill Country and the sunset. It’s
second place to the
Oasis on the best-place-catch-a-sunset index.
Then there’s Pokey Joes for mallbiance. I’m talking about the one at the
Arboretum. I’m
sure there are lots more great barbecue places in Austin.

If that's REAL aboretum, I'm for that. You can walk off the too-much-food you just stuffed in and weren't hungry for but it was there and was too good to leave. Barbecue here tends to be Korean or Japanese style. Teriyaki sauce is the accompaniment as well as the marinade. In the Parker Ranch area at Kamuela in the middle of the Island, standard mainland BBQ is served and a bath is needed thereafter. Ono grinds!

Infospace.com says Kamuela has 39 restaurants.
Ono grinds? Yoko Ono? Translate this two word exclamatory sentence. I'm a slow catcher on-er sometimes.
Careful when you cross Popoo Gulch.

Wow! 39?! It is not all that big but is a bedroom community for the big hotels on the coast. Ono grinds is localese for delicious food (ono=delicious in Hawaiian, and grinds is what your teeth do to the delicious food)
PooPoo Gulch or have you found an obscure place in the island I have not heard about...

Yep, it was on the Infospace map. It's payback for all those great Austin tips you been putting out. Some payback, huh?

You'll have to pay poopoo or whatever it was called a personal view and let us know how spectacular this stream rushing out of the volvanoes actually is. Or maybe I'm overhyping it?

I'll take along my digital camera and post it so you can see, too. We also have Peepee Falls...and, no, it is pronounced Pay-a Pay-a Falls. I have already posted a picture of the Pu'u (POO-oo) Sounds very excretory over here, doesn't it?!

I hear there are a couple of schools of barbecue. Texas, of course, North Carolina (!!) and I forget the third. Is Texas served with slaw like in NC? Here in Kentucky they pull it, BBQ whole critters, but in Hawaii, the flavoring is teriyaki. Very confusing. One never knows quite what one will get.

There's one bbq place in Dripping Springs, the Salt Lick, that uses an
oriental type barbecue sauce. It's considered one of the top tier bbq
houses in these parts. Dr. Flash, our house guest, loved it. He helped
us drive to it using his gps.
Take a deep breath and inhale the
aroma of some of the best BBQ the
Hill Country has to offer. You've
found "The Salt Lick" so named by
owner Hisako Roberts and her
husband, the late Thurman
Roberts, because "a Salt Lick is
something where all the
animals congregate. There is something good, something
essential about it."
http://www.saltlickbbq.com/Salt%20Lick.rm
Some history.
Thirty years ago, Thurman Roberts, Sr. and his wife Hisako T. Roberts
started the Salt Lick Restaurant on the ranch where he was born. The
stones of the building were quarried from that same ranch. Everything was
done by them with their own hands; building and cooking with care and
love, a pride in quality, and a job done right.
Family reunions provided them the opportunity to gather and share family
BBQ recipes that had been handed down from generation to generation since
the Civil War. Their meals were such a success, friends encouraged them to
start their own restaurant. Opened for business in 1969, the Salt Lick has
become world-renowned.
Since then, the Salt Lick has grown in size and scope. The restaurant
facilities have been expanded. Rooms have been added to accomodate various
functions. The Pavilion has been added just down the road so that many
couples have started their married lives together with us. When the City
of Austin built it's new Austin Bergstrom International Airport, The Salt
Lick was one of the few restaurants picked to represent what Austin dining
is to the rest of the world. We began our mailorder catalog to share the
joy of Texas barbecue with the rest of the country.

There are so many places with Salt lick in the name...!
I think I have overdosed on the BBQ here. That is ok,though. I can eat fried chicken three times a day just about forever.
If that is a Japanese BBQ you mentioned and not just the owner's ethnicity,it would be worth a try. It is one thing I miss but can easily reproduce.
