Cooper's in Llano

Went for a ride yesterday, ended up in Llano. I decided to try Cooper's,
as I have read where many people rated it the best BBQ in Texas.

I don't think they ate at the same place I did. The brisket looked and
tasted as if if had been boiled, not smoked. The sausage was OK, but
nothing to write home about.

I won't be returning.

We were there a few weeks (OK, maybe a couple of months) ago and I
thought it farily OK. We had very little brisket (I had NONE) - mostly
beef ribs and some chicken. I thought the ribs at Iron Works was much
better (though my friends didn't all agree).

All in all, it was a nice / pretty drive and decent food. I wouldn't
mind going back.

P.S. I didn't pay attention to recall if the smoke flavor was there,
but now tha tyou mention it - it probably was lacking the smoke. Else
I would have remembered.

Seconded.

Thanks to sw, it's become my BBQ place of preference.
Plus it's easy to get to from IH-35.

Wild Salmon I would like the name of some of the companies in Alaska or other cold places that ship fresh wild salmon and halibut. Anyone have experience with an providers?
