San Angelo Local Eats

In the past weeks the local spot that got my attention again, was the tried and true Cork & Pig Tavern where the wife and I did another dinner visit where we never leave hungry or disappointed. See what good we got on this visit below.

The other local person I got to finally go out and try for myself, knowing that it was his goods for once, is Bigfoot BBQ. I have judged his BBQ before 3 times at local events he was entered into as a vendor but, since all BBQ contests are blinded, I never knew which one of 20 was his. I wanted to go out and finally, at long last try Mr. Scott Gideons smokey goods to see if the hype and rumors I heard about it began amazing or not were accurate. I had heard many things about Scotts Q but never had the ability to judge it on its own myself since I never had it head on. That has changed now. Regarding his brisket anyway... wow! Amazing! Pecan smoked, lean, perfected smoke ring, tender, flavorful. All round good! I like my brisket leaner than most, I also like pecan wood smoking methods. Scott nails those components big time! I wish you had scratch and sniff for this photo as your missing half the punch without the amazing aroma this 11lb brisket had coming off it. I now need to go back and try more of his BBQ food options to see how those stack up as well.

Chit Chat with a local

​

This past week I caught up with head coffee roaster of Free Rein Coffee Co (formerly Longhorn Coffee Co) Crystal Glaspie to catch up with her after almost exactly 2 years since our first interview held in edition 3 of the newsletter back in June 2022! See what's new and what she has accomplished in that time with this newly branded company.

Goodbye Walt and MG Koenig

As noted above, we are losing our Chamber President Walt, and his amazing wife MG . On June 1, Walt stepped down from his role to enjoy his retirement as he so rightfully deserves. Walt and MG gave us 4 good years of service and growth to the city to include its new Chamber members, the food and beverage industry expansion, the bigger festivals and events we hold each year, and some great friendship to me and many, many other locals of San Angelo. I will miss him at ribbon cuttings and local events for sure as will many. But I have every intent to keep our friendship alive and well in the months and years to come. Swing on by the Martial Pint this evening from 5-7pm to say goodbye and thank you to Walt and MG.
