The Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas is home to one of the most iconic open-fire barbecue pits on Earth. Since 1967, brisket, ribs, and sausage have been slow-cooked over live flames in a setting that feels more like Texas history than a restaurant.
Some people chase five-star restaurants.
I'll take a seat next to an open pit full of smoke, fire, and barbecue.
The best barbecue in the world is waiting in Driftwood, Texas.
