On our final night in Austin, the b5media crew had a barbecue at the b5 ranch with food supplied by The Salt Lick, widely regarded as one of the best barbecue places in the area. Here’s what their van brought us:

• Pork ribs
• Beef brisket
• kielbasa
• coleslaw
• beans
• potatoes
• peach cobbler
• blackberry cobbler
• pickles
• loads and loads of barbecue sauce

Darcie: What do you mean my margaritas are poisonously strong?

For drinks, we had a keg of beer on ice and Darcie’s poisonously strong margaritas, and Darren added to the dessert offerings with Tim Tams he brought all the way from Australia. Dinner was followed by a giant bonfire and some roughhousing around the pool (three victims claimed).

If you’re at SxSW and you missed the bus for the Salt Lick, b5media’s having a barbecue with food from…The Salt Lick! Send me a tweet for details.
