Sam's Bar-B-Cue, Austin

Sam's is a smokin' place. In 1992, it was literally smoking -- in fact, it was on fire. A kitchen inferno resulted in the closing of this classic Austin pit.

But local citizens weren't about to let a favorite East Austin eatery go up in smoke. A volunteer group got together and rebuilt Sam's. Soon it rose like the mythical phoenix, and Austin once again boasted one of the finest barbecue joints on the planet.

Go to Sam's with a big appetite because you're going to get a big plate, one loaded down with meats and side dishes. We ordered plates of ribs and brisket and ran out of room long before we ran out of food. You can also choose from chicken, spicy sausage, and even mutton.

It just doesn't get any better than this.

Location: 2000 E. 12th St.
