TexasMonthly will host its Barbecue Festival near your Austin luxury real estate this year. The festival will take place on Oct. 30 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at The City Terrace at The Long Center for Performing Arts. Twenty of TexasMonthly’s 50 Best Barbecue Joints will be in attendance for you to taste. Nowhere else can you find so much delicious barbecue for you to enjoy in one place!

Every year, TexasMonthly publishes an issue that is a fantastic piece to have on any coffee table. This issue features the 50 Best Barbecue Joints in Texas, many of which are a day trip or less away from your home in the Austin area. If you don’t subscribe to TexasMonthly or can’t find the issue at the store, there’s an app for that! Available for free in Apple’s App Store, TexasMonthly Barbecue Finder provides you with its list of Texas’ best barbecue places. The app provides you with a review of each barbecue joint along with a rating on a 5-point scale, address, phone number and its hours of operation.

A few barbecue joints participating in the TexasMonthly Barbecue Festival that we, your Austin luxury home builder, highly recommend include Snow’s BBQ from Lexington, Smitty’s Market from Lockhart and Franklin Barbeque from your own Austin, Texas. If you can’t make it to the festival to try their barbecue, it is still worth the drive to visit these places. We promise you’re in for a treat. If you can make it to the festival hopefully you can learn some tips that you can use with your summer kitchen when you are barbecuing in your outdoor living area.
