Austin Travel Diary, Part 19: The Salt Lick’s Delicious Barbecue

The Salt Lick’s van

On our final night in Austin, the b5media crew had a barbecue at the b5 ranch with food supplied by The Salt Lick, widely regarded as one of the best barbecue places in the area. Here’s what their van brought us:

The food we ordered from The Salt Lick: pork ribs, brisket, sausage, beans, coleslaw, potatoes, barbecue sauce, blackberry cobbler, peach cobbler.

  • Pork ribs
  • Beef brisket
  • kielbasa
  • coleslaw
  • beans
  • potatoes
  • peach cobbler
  • blackberry cobbler
  • pickles
  • loads and loads of barbecue sauce

Darcie: What do you mean my margaritas are poisonously strong?

For drinks, we had a keg of beer on ice and Darcie’s poisonously strong margaritas, and Darren added to the dessert offerings with Tim Tams he brought all the way from Australia. Dinner was followed by a giant bonfire and some roughhousing around the pool (three victims claimed).

In Case You Were Wondering How to Spell It…

Cosmopolitan, who should be considered experts in the area, spell it “Va-jay-jay”:

Cover of “Cosmopolitan” featuring the story “Your Va-jay-jay: Fascinating new facts about your lovely lady parts”.

Out of curiosity, I decided to see if the domain names vajayjay.com and va-jay-jay.com were taken, and yes, they are.

Austin Travel Diary, Part 15: Tara and the Unicorn

You see all kinds of weird stuff at South by Southwest. For instance, I hear there’s some weirdo wandering around carrying an accordion. Here’s another weird sight: Tara Hunt escorting a unicorn (or perhaps the unicorn is escorting her)…
