Review: Brings back lots of memories - No, this may not be a cookbook in the traditional sense, as an earlier reviewer complained. It does not contain elaborate, challenging recipes and cooking techniques. What it does contain is recipes of simple, delicious recipes of a differenr era. And I cannot wait to try them out myself. I wish I had my mother and grandmother's recipes to share with others. And there are many more recipes in this book that I had initially thought, and not all barbeque recipes and techniques. Just good, simple, delicious recipes of country folk. Overall, I loved the totality of this book. I have been eating at Salt Lick since the winter of 1973. Once discovered, my college friends and I made the 30 minute trip at least twice a weekend (they were open only Thursday to Sunday then). I can't say I ever remember seeing Scott there, but I definitely knew his mother and father. Thurman was always by the door, guarding his pit, and Hisako was in the dining room, making sure the customers had what they needed. I remember being there once with three of my buddies and two six packs of Lone Star. Hisako was amazed that 4 college students were going to drink all that beer!! She is such a sweet lady. We were there religiously several times every weekend, sometimes being the only ones there. We were amazed that the place wasn't full with people devouring the delicious BBQ. But by the end of my four years at college place was starting to get noticed and had large crowds on Saturdays and Sundays. I have so many fond memories of the place - the drives on 1826 back when it was undeveloped ranch lands, much like Scott describes growing up there, the staff there, the awesome BBQ, the building and the grounds, and, of course, Mr. Thurman and Mrs. Hisako. I love just thumbing through the book and looking at the pictures of the place and the countryside. What is the best BBQ joint in the country or Texas is arguable because everybody has their own ideas. But The Salt Lick is definitely my favorite. I thank Scott for writing this book and sharing his stories and recipes. Like I said, I wish I had my mother's and grandmother's recipes. And I am glad that there are people that will continue carrying on the Salt Lick tradition. That is so important in times like these when everything is about speed and convenience. Again, thank you, Scott. This book only deepens my love and respect for your family and restaurant.
Review: Prior to visiting the Salt Lick, I bought this book. - We're planning a trip to Texas next month and in preparation I purchased this book. A close friend of mine from Texas highly recommended that we visit the restaurant during our trip and it was enough convincing for me to purchase their cookbook. This is a gorgeous cookbook. It's loaded with stories about the family and the history of the restaurant. Photos are plentiful and absolutely beautiful. There's a definite genuineness about everything in the book from the recipes to the step by step photos of age-old processes. I highly recommend this book even though I have not yet visited the restaurant. The recipes reflect a very homey and down-south approach to food. I am highly looking forward to visiting the Salt Lick on our trip to Texas and am also looking forward to trying out many of the recipes.

*by P***N on January 27, 2021*

I first experienced Salt Lick BBQ in 1998. I have traveled all around the U.S., and this is hands down the BEST BBQ you can find anywhere. This book isn't just a cook book. It includes stories about Scotts family history and what made him who he is today. There are many downhome recipes, as well as Salt Lick signature favorites. This is a book that you can sit down and read in an easy chair, but be warned, you may want to keep a napkin handy for the drool. I highly recommend for anyone that enjoys downhome cooking, and especially for fans of the worlds best BBQ - Salt Lick.
