Jeff, Harry Soo just posted a vid on YT of his trip to the Creekside Cookers in Wimberly , I thought about you and wondered if you've visited ?
Lynn,
Haha! I just got back from lunch at Creekside and saw this! Excellent video that captures the spirit of the place. I first had some of Kelly's brisket about 5 years ago when he catered a motorcycle run from The Hog Pound motorcycle shop here in town. I was blown away. About a year later, he parked his food trailer in a lot across from the Ace Hardware along with a few others and he was an instant hit with the locals. For several years, folks were pushing him to open a permanent place and when the old San Angelo Mexican restaurant folded, he bought the building. It's a great location on the edge of town near the Blanco River. He does an interesting thing for a barbecue place -- at dinner it becomes a steak house, complete with baked potatoes, veggies and a wine list. They're a hard-working bunch that is enjoying success.
It was busy at lunch today -- just like every day. I had a hunk of brisket point that looked exactly like the one on Harry's tray in the video, a slice of turkey and a jalapeño sausage link. Janis had pork belly and brisket tacos. (The pork belly is killer.) We've had just about everything on the lunch menu and it's all very top shelf. Wimberley is a a little gem of a town off the beaten path between Austin and San Antonio. In the summer, it's a favorite getaway for city dwellers. Creekside Cookers is one more reason to love it.
