Hill Country, the BBQ joint that garnered so much press when it opened its doors during the summertime, always seemed to me like more of a wintery type of establishment. And, now that ‘tis the season, I am excited to make this recommendation: regardless of which holiday you choose to celebrate, on December 24th, eat Hill Country
Their per-pound ordering policy makes the hill’ an ideal place if you aren’t sure how many people you’ll end up feeding. When neighbors and friends start calling, you won’t have to turn anyone away.
The moist brisket and the whole roasted chicken are not to be missed. Also, inquiring about meat specials has been a no-fail option during my visits. If you are taking the meal to go, then you can toast the white bread that comes with the meats. I know it isn’t traditional—and that many Texans reading this will put out a warrant for me—but it really makes a better sammy when the bread’s toasted.
Potato Bourbon Mash (very festive, hey?!) and the Beer Braised Cowboy Pinto Beans. I’d also dive into a full 32 oz. portion of the Cool as a Cucumber Salad as a means for cutting the fat and for transitioning between meats and courses. Skillet Cornbread here is standard but sort of a necessity in my opinion. Desserts are not a strong point, but you will probably be too full to eat dessert in any event. If you must have something sweet, the Bourbon Pecan Pie is the best choice. Plus, if there are extra sweet potatoes, you can pile them on top, which is what I did. It’s great! —Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it.
If you are carrying out or having delivery, be sure to call a day ahead because a Country Christmas Eve is sure to be a popular proposal this year. And, if you are going to be dining in your home, definitely get extras because this cuisine makes excellent leftovers. Nearly everything gets better on the second day, namely the beans. If there is extra corn bread, make bread pudding with it. Whether you’re ripping open presents or enjoying a quiet day: Happy Holidays!
