Taylor Cafe, Taylor, Texas 8/22/13

sampled about 11:30 am

Mr Vencil Mares has been serving BBQ here since the late 40's and he was sitting at his usual place when we went back to visit on this day.  This is another spot we have visited many times before and is the site of the single best piece of brisket I have ever eaten.  It is not a super consistent place, however anytime you can sit and visit with Mr Mares it is like visiting with true BBQ royalty.  Today we talked a bit about BBQ and Mr Mares service during World War 2.  The BBQ was excellent and I did not leave a smidge of my brisket, rib, or turkey sausage.  Ok, maybe the rib bone. 

Here's a great video of Mr Vencil.
