If you go through Houston on your way down there, depending on what time it is, there's a really good bbq place on the southwest side of town. As you go out 59, you pass Beltway 8 which is a big spaghetti bowl, then about 4 miles farther you go over hwy US 90. There is a huge Chevrolet dealership at the intersection of 59/90. The next exit is Dairy Ashford Rd. You make a right and go about 1/4 mile and turn in by the Jack in the Box. Right on the corner of the center is Vasos BBQ. They have an excellent sliced beef basket. I'd go sauce on the side in case their sauce isn't for you. I skip the sauce. I've been going there since 1987 whenever I'm in the area.
