The Salt Lick

Becca and I met Wayne Scholz, his family and friends at the Salt Lick in Round Rock today for lunch and at his 60th birthday party. We learned (again?) that they were married exactly one week after we were!

The food: bbq brisket, ribs, sausage, cole slow, potato salad, beans, and white bread. Heavy, tasty, just plain good.
