That's right ladies and gentlemen, your eyes are not deceiving you, there is a County Line in Albuquerque!!! For those of you that know me, I am not a big BBQ fan, I think The Salt Lick ("Famous" Austin BBQ place) is over rated, and when I want BBQ...I go to The County Line! Before every Austinite sends me hate mail for bad talkin' The Salt Lick, let me tell you why The County Line is soooo good. The bread at The County Line is made fresh every day and served with honey butter, the coleslaw and potato are awesome, and I could drink the barbeque sauce! All of this considered you can imagine my excitement when I found there was a County Line in "the Duke City". Over the summer The County Line has free live music concerts to benefit the local food bank. We decided to go to the Mickey and the Motorcars concert and see if The County Line in "The Q" was the same as The County Line in Austin. I have 3 words for you...Not the same:( The bread was not made fresh, no honey butter in sight, and while the coleslaw and potato salad were not bad, it was not nearly as good as The County Line in Austin. The barbeque sauce was the same, and I appreciate that, but I felt the need to send a quick e-mail to the County Line ABQ and fill them in on what's going on in the Austin locations. Maybe they could get some tips...everyone wants to improve right?...I haven't heard back from them yet. Despite the food not being what I had dreamt of, the concert was a lot of fun, and we will go back.
The not "made fresh, Austin County Line style" bread
Great concert!
