Sampled 6/23/21
We made a short trip to Austin to visit friends and hear some music. My buddy Dave suggested we try this joint in Northwest Austin and it was a good choice.
Interstellar is located in a small shopping center with their main pit outside in the parking lot. Inside we had a short wait and I ordered the usual trinity of brisket, ribs, and sausage. I also added some intriguing sounding smoked scalloped potatoes. I received brisket from the flat and there was very little fat. The brisket pulled apart easily and was moist and tender with just a hint of smoke flavor. The spare ribs were tender and moist and left a nice bite mark. The rub was peppery and reminded me a bit of Louie Mueller's. The sausage was supposed to be jalapeno cheddar. While there was plenty of cheese, there was no discernable jalapeno and none of the spicy heat I expect with jalapeno sausage. The smoked scalloped potatoes had good smoke flavor. A bit of shredded cheese on top and some smoked onion would have made them even better.
De nada - glad you liked it!
