The Best Barbecue in Austin

"After a career in baking, Austin-born Tom Micklethwait now serves some of the region’s most coveted ‘cue out of a vintage Comet trailer. Given its location down the street from Franklin Barbecue, Micklethwait originally drew people seeking shorter lines. A lot of statewide press later, it stands on its own, and people from all over Texas convene here. While most traditional Texas barbecue joints focus on brisket, Micklethwait is known for its smoked sausages (though there’s brisket, too), ranging from duck with cherries to lamb with tangerine zest; though options rotate daily." - Jonathan Thompson
