The Safe Restaurant

Our safe restaurant will be.....drum roll please....HILL COUNTRY.

This place on 26th street in Manhattan serves bbq shipped in from my (Spring again, hi!!!!) home state, Texas. I've eaten many, many times at the original place, Kreuz, in Lockhart, TX. Hill Country has all the fixins I love, including some Bluebell ice cream and Big Red soda products. They also serve all the meat on butcher paper, the way it's meant to be served! If they could just get some Shiner beer, then it would be 100% authentic. As it is, I'd say it's about 98%. It loses another percentage point for me because at the real Kreuz, no bbq sauce is available. According to them, bbq done right doesn't need any sauce to fix it up. Hill Country has bbq sauce, which is actually quite good, but still.

So yes, visit Hill Country, and know that this former Texan gives it a whole hearted thumbs up.
