  • This was the beginning of my road trick with Jeremy and Erica Yoder of ‪@MadScientistBBQ‬. We also met with our friend, Brad of ‪@ChudsBbq‬. There was a lot of fun to be had being on the road as we make our way to Kansas City to bring some Texas BBQ to another bbq loving city! But before we start cooking for others, we wanted to make sure we get our fill of barbecue first. Hope you enjoy this video as others to come from this trip!

    Salt Lick was my first experience with real Texas barbecue (back in the 1990s). My future from that point on always pointed toward bringing that taste to the KC area. So I am opening my first Mule Kicker BBQ in Warrensburg, Missouri. Crazy times, but you, Jeremy, Matt at Meat Church and a couple of others are keeping me sane. Tell Jeremy to stop by when he's in KC next week!

      @@knoxavebbq - do you think that’s because so spoiled with great bbq (especially guys like you and Jeremy) or maybe just that we prefer certain flavors/seasoning? Or were there truly fundamental things wrong with it that could be improved? Do you feel like at some of these places that maybe you could have hit it at a bad time, or should we expect that there should a certain level of consistency regardless? I always drool when I see shots of that place (like in the thumbnail) just a big grill with a pile of fantastic looking meat!

      @@doplinger1 im not really comparing this place to places you've seen me going to before. while the cuts of meat remain the same, the style of cooking is different and alot of use of sauce.
      so i wouldn't be able to say that what they do it "wrong". it's different that what we now perceive to be the "right" way. i truly enjoy just doing to another place that has another offering. the only time i'm in a mood to compare is if someone say they're trying to do a certain type of bbq, but better. but as you saw from this video, i'm just bbq loving guy who just wanted to have a good time and meal, and i got just that.

    came across the Salt Lick by chance on a trip to Texas, and while I was lucky enough to eat at some of the most highly rated places from Dallas to San Antonio, the Salt Lick remains my favourite. And as much as anything else it was the service and the atmosphere that made me fall in love with it. It just felt very genuine and welcoming. Can't wait to travel across to the otherside of the world one day and go back!

    I've been to Salt Lick a number of times and the only meats I personally feel are really good there are the Sausage and the Beef Ribs. Love the bread too and the sauce is really growing on me. Living in Texas, I can easily find the sauce when I want it as I don't leave near either of the Salt Lick locations.

    I would love a video from one of you guys on Salt Lick’s cooking process. Because it is very unique. They smoke it, store it, then finish it off on their huge pit and mop it. I don’t know if they mop on the smoker too or not. It’s a very unique and interesting way of smoking brisket.
    I’d just be curious on thoughts and opinions on mopping brisket alone. We don’t get a lot of in depth UA-cam content on the Carolina style of BBQ.
    I’ve been to Salt Lick in Round Rock and thought it was really good. This was before I knew much about bbq. Would like to try the original location too.
