"Distant Relatives is an extremely popular food truck in South Austin, located in the lot by Meanwhile Brewing Company. It's one of the hottest tickets in town right now thanks to its inventive twist on modern African-American BBQ, meaning the barbecue here is inspired by the techniques and ingredients that were used by enslaved people on America's plantations. There's an interesting spice profile to every dish—as well as a stronger element of mixed hard-wood smoke. Stand out stars from the menu include the pulled pork sandwich served with kohlrabi slaw and chili sauce, and the beef brisket with smoked mustard butter sauce. Also not to be missed are the juicy, well-spiced chicken leg quarters with tamarind molasses barbecue sauce." - Jonathan Thompson
