Been there. Got to tell you though, I wasn't terribly impressed. The highest point was the overpass on the interstate. Everything was dry. I saw some fat "cowboy" driving a 1974 Dodge Dart with longhorns on the hood (they came in handy as he had to tie down his hood with rope to keep it from flying up when he drove). No waves at the beach though the gulf shrimp were pretty nice. Barbecue, huh? You call that "barbecue sauce"? The LoneStar Beer tasted like armadillo pee. I did manage to find a couple of cute girls but hey, I'm from Carolina, I wasn't overly impressed.
Texas? I dunno, I guess it must be an "acquired taste".
The only rewason to use barbeque sauce is to hide the flavor of bad meat......
