One of the better bbq deals is on Sunday's from Stubbs, Austin, Tx. There are those who think Mr. Stubbs' bbq is among the top couple in Texas ... there's now a gospel music brunch with seatings at 11A and 1P Sundays ... including a full breakfast buffet that features Stubbs bbq. I didn't get the exact price per plate, tab for four with soft drinks/tea/tax included was $47. That includes all the brisket, chicken and sausage you can eat ... I saw a couple huge trays of ribs coming in for the 1P brunch as we were leaving. I'd guess that the buffet is $10 or so per head. Doubt the brisket served at lunch was as "fresh off the smoker" as Stubbs would ordinarily serve, so didn't try to compare it with other Texas bbq joints. But it IS all you can eat, and unless it's at a place like Bob's on I-35 North of Austin, that's a great deal. As you might expect, it's Southern African American Gospel, the Rev's pass the hat after they finish the 90 minute show ... there's color video in the rest of the building for those who don't get there early enough to see the show live. Stubbs seems to be doing a great business in selling their sauces; they're sold at bunches of stores in North Texas. I thought the basic sauce had too much vinegar, but, then, any vinegar is too much for me. If you believe as many of us do in the Great State that the quality of the bbq is directly related to the shambles of the surroundings, Stubbs does okay. One of those eating was a High Exalted State Muckety-Muck, who kept glancing around to try to find a chair with a bottom that he wouldn't fall through ... the seat on his was mostly missing.

He needs somebody to cover his ass.
