So, I’ve been writing about road trips, and I’m actually on one. Right now. We drove from Dallas, south on I-35, through Waco, Austin and San Antonio, to the lovely new Best Western motel on Highway 90 in Hondo, Texas. The view from our window is a corn field that stretches off into the horizon.

If you’re ever out this way, check out Billy Bob’s BBQ, out back of Billy Bob’s Hamburgers. Word is, it’s a very popular spot for high school kids, and it seems to be built for picnicking and socializing. New on the menu is the brisket taco for $1.79. A thin layer of soft flour tortilla wraps a huge wad of tender, smoky meat. A smear of guacamole and a smattering of pico de gallo adds just a hint of southwestern flavor.

Mmmm. Mouth filled with meat. Need I say more?
