Just 2 Dudes

#ThePlace
Where: Hill Country Barbeque Market – @HillCountryBBQ
When: 9/22/2017
Who Picked: Nick

We decided to make our first trek into DC as Eric will be starting a new job soon that would make it more difficult for us to meet there. Nick thought that Hill Country Barbeque Market would be a great choice for our first trip to DC.

#TheFood
Nick went with one of the Pitmaster Specials, the Cue and 2, which gives a choice of two meats and two sides with an order of cornbread. Nick got the moist brisket and a Kreuz jalapeño cheese sausage link with baked beans and corn pudding. The sausage links are flown in from Kreuz Market in Texas and the baked beans have burnt ends. The brisket was melt in your mouth tender and the sausage had some nice spice and crunch to it. Both sides were excellent and whatever was added to the whipped butter with the cornbread provided a nice extra bit of flavor.

Eric went with the Cue and 1 since he is a lightweight, that included a choice of meat, 2 sides, and some cornbreads. Eric got the moist brisket with Bourbon Sweet Potato Mash and the coleslaw. The addition of the coarse salt and pepper mix at the table took this brisket to the next level. As you can see, the fat soaked through the paper, delicious. Eric tried a bit of the sauces which were on the table but decided just good old salt and pepper was the way to go. The sweet potato mash was good as was the coleslaw. The honey butter brought the cornbread to the next level.

#Regrets
Nick would have liked to get the Cue and 3 to try the smoked turkey. #Savage

#Decor
The decor at Hill Country was very appropriate for a BBQ joint, lots of rustic finished wood, chalk boards, Texas ferever, etc. 10/10

#TotalBill
The Cue and 2 was just over $24. The Cue and 1 was $15. The restaurant accepts credit cards.
