The Tour de Meat is a celebration of Austin, Texas’s place as the new Mecca of Texas barbecue. With Franklin Barbecue being crowned #1 in the state (which means the world, by definition), and now the new additions of La BBQ and the newest John Mueller incarnation, Austin, Texas is now the barbecue capital of the world! And that doesn’t even include the famous joints just a short drive away in Lockhart, Elgin, Spicewood, and Llano.

This year we are pleased to bring to you the BBQ genius of what is the Southside Market in Elgin, TX. There is lots of history in this market just East of Austin. We will bike from here to the Ronald McDonald House of Austin.

Ride Day 7:30 AM Sign in/registration 8:00AM Ride will start 11:00AM BBQ will be served 12:30PM Raffle Winner will be announced

What makes Southside Market different? I guess you can just ask anybody who’s been here over the past 125 years or so. We’re the oldest barbeque joint in a state known for great barbeque joints. So I guess we must be doin’ somethin’ right.

What makes your sausage so popular? It ain’t rocket science. It’s authentic TEXAS sausage. 100% beef, extra juicy, coarse ground, black pepper, and cayenne. Just about the same as it was back in 1882. People have been eating it up ever since, so we must be doing something right.

How HOT is Elgin Hot Sausage? That depends on what you call hot. If you eat jalapeños for breakfast, you probably don’t think anything is hot. Ya see, in 1882, all sausage was called “hot sausage.” And the old timers around here still do. But today, our really hot stuff is reserved under our “1882 Recipe.” The sausage people eat in our restaurant is made the same way, but with a little less FIRE than it had back then.

What kind of wood do you use? Look around. See them trees? That’s genuine 100% Texas Post Oak wood. That’s what we smoked with back in 1882, and that’s all we use today.

How do you get your sausages so juicy? The secret ain’t really a secret at all. Our meat is, has been and always will be coarse ground. That makes it naturally juicy. No additives necessary.
