I find it detracts from properly executed BBQ. It’s a good thing I don’t really like sauce that much. I find it detracts from properly executed BBQ.

Incredible. I live right by Driftwood and go there for lunch all the time. Friday and Saturday nights the wait is unbearable (especially when you can SMELL it all the whole time), but weekday lunches the place is mostly empty because it is so out of the way for most people. One scary thing about the Salt Lick - the calorie content of its sauce. Next time you are in Austin, go by a grocery store. You'll see the Salt Lick sauce bottles right with all the other BBQ sauce bottles on the shelf, but while most sauce is in the neighborhood of 10 calories a serving, Salt Lick's is around 150. Why? Oil-based versus tomatoe-based baby. And the Salt Lick didn’t even make Texas Monthly’s top 50! Incredible.
