Austin is well-known for its barbecue, as evidenced by Aaron Franklin’s international fame. His business had humble beginnings, though, in a refurbished trailer posted in a Cherrywood parking lot. This launched a number of other high-profile barbecue trailers, including Micklethwait Craft Meats, La Barbecue, Kerlin BBQ, John Mueller Meat Co., and Valentina’s Tex-Mex BBQ. But maybe the lines are too long for those places, and you just really need some barbecue. Eater presents your guide to Austin’s under-the-radar barbecue trucks to help you get your brisket fix.
