Cooper's BBQ in Llano is perhaps the more well known pit in the city; however the more exclusive Laird's Bar-B-Q has, in this Motochef's opinion, much better food. Al and I are now headed to Lairds.
We said goodbye to the Frio Pecan Farm and proceeded North out of Leakey on Ranch Road 336. Cut East on Texas 41 and then Southeast on 1340 into Hunt. Here is where we begin the first of many crossings of the Guadalupe river. After a quick stop at the Hunt Store, we marched North to Llano on Texas 39 to 783 to 87 to 152 and finally 16.
A lunch of brisket, links, beans and potato salad sated us. The meat was redolent and the beans and salad were a delightful savory.
After lunch, we moved South on 16 to Fredericksburg for fuel. Then on to Kerrville for groceries. The River Inn Resort was our final destination today, and we would grill our dinner. Al picked inch and one-half thick butterfly cut pork chops from the meat counter. Long grain and wild rice as well as salad fixings were pulled from the HEB shelves for pleasure.
20 miles later we pulled got off of the bikes for the day. Mixologist Al prepared refreshments while I scouted a grill. The River Inn Resort bustled with families swimming and cooking. We were not going to eat at the first seating. All of the grills were in use. No problem, we would enjoy the view of the Guadalupe River and the tall bluff on its opposite bank. No problem - until the unexpected downpour and companion storm arrived at our party.
An hour later we were grilling our main course. It was good.
