When tradition gets boring, Austin knows how to switch things up with specialized recipes that add a new twist to a classic meal.
The Asian smokehouse, Loro, is known for its spin on traditional barbecue. Chef Tyson Cole, of Uchi Fame, and Aaron Franklin, of Franklin Barbecue, have done an outstanding job blending Texas barbecue with flavors from Asian cuisine. Try one of the popular menu items like the Post Oak Smoked Prime Rib with massaman curry, roasted peanuts, and coconut salad.
Slab BBQ & Beer is also changing things up by mixing flavors from Memphis and other areas down south with traditional Texas barbeque. They are best known for their “sammiches” like the Notorious P.I.G, which is a barbeque sandwich filled with pulled pork and topped with mustard slaw.
A couple of other popular restaurants in Austin that do barbeque differently include Lamberts Downtown Barbecue, which takes a modern approach to their menu, and La Barbecue where you can try the Chicago style Chi-Town Piñata or the popular El Sancho Loco.
