Lockhart, Texas has about 15,000 inhabitants but welcomes over 250,000 visitors each year to its four barbecue restaurants: Blacks, Chisholm Trail, Kreuz and Smittys. Not surprisingly, the Texas Legislature has proclaimed that Lockhart is the barbecue capital of Texas. No doubt you’ll find barbecue nirvana. And remember, good barbecue doesn’t need sauce.
