德克薩斯州和燒烤這兩個詞是相輔相成的（或者可能是並口的），但是當在一個大州發現有如此多的燒烤關節時，很難弄清哪家餐館值得卡路里和粘稠的手指。
向加油站，酒店前台和隨機商店詢問當地人的建議非常困難，因為我們收到了不同的答复。
有時，您必須抓住機會，擲骰子，並希望獲得最好的成績。
我們只是在德克薩斯州的奧斯丁做的。
在我們的燒烤任務中擲骰子
我們在Google地圖上找到了我們所住酒店的位置，然後單擊“找到附近”按鈕。看到結果後，我們在Google上搜索了評論，並根據其他燒烤愛好者的反饋，最終獲得了 鐵廠燒烤，距離我們酒店僅幾步之遙。
At one point as we were walking along the street I thought we had taken a wrong turn; hubby, of course, claims that he knew our precise location the entire time. But we stayed the course, and before long we could smell the “smoke” — that sweet aroma of goodness that screams barbecue is near — so we just followed our nose until we arrived at our destination.
At first seeing the building on the corner of the street I was still a little sceptical — I mean it doesn’t look like a barbeque smoke house now, does it? It looks more like a mechanics garage, or iron works foundry! （暗示）
根據德克薩斯州歷史委員會的標誌，這座錫建築最初是1935年至1977年F. Weigl Iron Works Company的所在地。
The building was converted to the current BBQ Smokehouse in 1978, taking the name “Iron Works” to honour the history and legacy of the building. Iron Works BBQ is a family-run business and has been operating in this location for the last 38 years.
Once inside the restaurant, the atmosphere is fantastic. It’s as if you’ve been transported to an entirely new barbeque dimension once you cross the threshold of the doorway.
It’s all very casual and relaxed with jars of pickled eggs, red cafeteria trays, paper plates and plastic cutlery, chalkboard menus, red checkered tablecloths, rustic wooden booths, rolls of paper towel to wipe your saucy fingers onto and the aroma of sweet, sweet, smoky goodness enveloping the room.

我們在Iron Works BBQ吃了什麼
每當我們去燒烤餐廳時，我的一般規則是，對於Hubby和我來說，他們都選擇採樣盤，但從菜單中選擇不同的選項，以最大化我們可以品嚐的食物的數量。
不幸的是，Iron Works菜單上只有一個樣品盤！它包括切成薄片的牛bri，煙熏香腸和一根用於$16.95的牛肋骨。
（所有盤子包括兩個配菜，泡菜，麵包和燒烤醬）
Honestly, not a big deal because I would have chosen those same items! I chose the cole slaw, and potato salad as my side dishes and I’m not going to lie, I was salivating in anticipation as the server was preparing my meal.
Hubby最終給它加了翅膀，並訂購了雞肉配土豆沙拉，通心粉和奶酪作為$9.95的配菜。
在Iron Works BBQ，我們擲骰子並贏了

I’m not a gambler because I think that expression applies more to slots than dice, but I hope you understand my meaning!
食物很棒。
- the beef rib was amazing — tender, fall off the bone good
- the beef brisket was unbelievable, a little lean / a little fat, great bark and smoke ring, melt in your mouth good — the best I’ve ever had
- 香腸有點辣
- 雞肉多汁，根本沒有乾，只有適量的煙熏味
- the sides were yummy too, but in reality, I’m here for the barbeque!
有時您需要調味料，有時則不需要。我的燒烤不需要任何調味料。就是那樣。
The food was so good that while we were eating it, Hubby was planning on buying a take out sample plate so that we could eat it for lunch the next day. He ultimately didn’t do it because our dinner portion was so big that we had leftovers, but the glutton in me wishes that he had gone ahead with his plan. I wanted more.
我們離開餐廳回到酒店後，我回頭看了Iron Works BBQ，發現後院天井正穿過樹林。一直以來，我們都在餐廳裡。我把注意力集中在燒烤上，以至於我沒有註意到他們甚至有一個露台！
我想這意味著我需要回程才能享受FULL Iron Works燒烤的經驗。哈哈！
