Marley’s Barbecue – Central Texas Barbecue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“In Central Texas, Barbecue is more than a way to cook meat –<\/em>
\n it’s a way of life, a path to salvation, and <\/em>
\na sure-fire way to start an argument at the dinner table<\/em>.”
\n~Central Texas Barbecue<\/a><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Texans hold certain truths to be self-evident: everything is bigger (and better) in Texas, the Dallas Cowboys are America’s team (who can argue with that?), George Strait is the king of country music, Nolan Ryan was the greatest baseball pitcher who ever lived and the best barbecue in the universe is pit-smoked along the Central Texas Barbecue Belt. Although Texas may be “like a whole other country,” the rolling plains of Central Texas are like a whole other world when it comes to barbecue. <\/span><\/p>\n

That’s not to say pit masters at Texas’s three other barbecue regions–East Texas, South Texas and West Texas–don’t prepare great barbecue or that they don’t regard barbecue as practically a religion. In fact, pit masters from each Texas barbecue region will defend the honor and bragging rights of their respective regions with the same vigor shown in 1836 by a small group of volunteer soldiers at The Alamo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Low-and-Slow Smoke Magic Emanates From Two Grills<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While conceding that there is great barbecue to be found throughout the Lone Star state, purists and aficionados almost unanimously agree that the state’s best barbecue is to be found in Central Texas with Austin as the region’s epicenter and pockets of barbecue excellence nonpareil found in such small towns as Lexington, Lockhart, Driftwood and Taylor. Historically, it makes sense. The Central Texas region was settled in the 19th century by German, Polish and Czech immigrants carrying forward their old country traditions for making sausage and smoking meats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Central Texas barbecue has a number of distinguishing hallmarks. First and foremost, beef is king. That means moist, smoky brisket. Secondly, barbecue means spice and seasoning rubs (heavy on salt and pepper), not sauces. Some of the best bastions of barbecue serve their meats naked–no sauce. Others will give you sauce on the side if you request it. If you’ve got to have it, sauce is typically tomato-based complemented by vinegar and Worcestershire. Thirdly, barbecue means low and slow cooking over Texas post oak wood or pecan woods, both of which impart mild smokiness. For best results, the wood is “cured” for nine to twelve months which creates very little soot when it burns.<\/span><\/p>\n

The comfy-cozy interior<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

June, 2014, saw the launch in Albuquerque of a new barbecue joint brandishing the name \u201cMarley\u2019s Central Texas Barbecue.\u201d Located on the northeast corner of Montgomery and San Pedro (at the former home of the beloved Tickles & Snooks Wings & Things<\/strong><\/a>), Marley\u2019s seemed primed for longevity at that location. Just over two years later, however, Marley\u2019s moved to the North Fourth street location which previously housed Paddy Rawal\u2019s OM<\/strong><\/a>. Accompanying the change of venue was a bit of a name change. No longer does the marquee boast of its \u201cCentral Texas BBQ\u201d heritage. Now it\u2019s just \u201cMarley\u2019s Barbecue\u201d though the menu remains the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

Restaurant employees still sport shirts emblazoned with the slogan “we smoke the good stuff.” For the most part, the “good stuff” still comes from the Lone Star state. The restaurant’s Black Angus beef is sourced from trusted Texas suppliers and sausage comes from Elgin<\/a>,<\/strong> the self-proclaimed “Sausage Capital of Texas.” The twin Heartland<\/strong> <\/a>smokers which send smoky invitations to passing motorists come from Missouri, another barbecue-crazed state. You’ll pass by them on your way into the restaurant. The aromas are a preview of deliciousness to come. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Conspicuous by its absence is the Texas state flag used to accent the restaurant’s decor at its inaugural location. Other Texas accents remain include looped lassos and cowboy accoutrements on the walls as well as other stereotypical trappings (such as corrugated steel panels on the wall). One of my favorite Texas accents is Big Red<\/a><\/strong> soda which, not coincidentally, is bottled in Austin. I believe it’s a Texas state law that Big Red should be served with barbecue.<\/span><\/p>\n

The menu is relatively small. Meats–sliced brisket, chopped brisket, Elgin sausage (regular or “hot”), pork spare ribs and pulled pork–are available by the half-pound. Sandwiches and plates are also available. Sides include Texas pinto beans, coleslaw, fresh-cut fries, mac and cheese and bacon potato salad. Your best bet is a combination plate, your choice of any two meats served with two sides. Plates include sweet Vidalia onions, pickles and slices of white bread (often considered a veggie in barbecue circles).<\/span><\/p>\n

Pork Spare Ribs and Elgin Sausage with Beans and Bacon Potato Salad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3 August 2014<\/strong>: The sliced brisket<\/em> <\/strong>is moist and tender with a faint smokiness, a very pronounced smoke ring and a good amount of marbling around the edges (off-putting to some, absolutely necessary for others). It doesn’t have the thick, peppery crust characteristic of some legendary Central Texas barbecue establishments, but for taste, tenderness and appearance, it’s a very good brisket. Procured from the world-famous Southside Market<\/a><\/strong> in Elgin, Texas, both the regular and “hot” Elgin sausage<\/em><\/strong> live up to their reputation. They’re succulent, smoky and delicious with a natural casing that’s easy to bite through, but not cut with the plastic utensils provided. <\/span><\/p>\n

28 August 2014<\/strong>: There’s yet another way to enjoy brisket at Marley’s and that’s in the form of a chopped brisket sandwich<\/em><\/strong>. When the menu reads “chopped” it’s not “chopped” as in the Carolina style “hack” job done to pork. In this case, the brisket is cut into very small cubes. If anything, the brisket seems even more tender prepared in this fashion and a caramelization not as apparent on sliced brisket is readily discernible with the chopped brisket. This sandwich is served with onions and pickles.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Chopped Brisket Sandwich with Coleslaw<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

28 August 2014<\/strong>: No longer on the menu, but perhaps they should be considering the recent taco craze, is brisket tacos. An order of brisket tacos<\/strong><\/em> yields three beauteous tacos made on housemade corn tortillas. The tacos are engorged with chopped brisket and a pico de gallo. The corn tortillas are quite good and are formidable enough to hold up against the moistness and volume of the brisket and pico. The brisket is moist, tender and smoky. Alas, the pico de gallo (tomatoes and green peppers) is rather insipid, lacking any heat. Fortunately the barbecue sauce has just a tad of heat to lend.<\/span><\/p>\n

3 August 2014<\/strong>: Although beef may be king in Texas, Marley’s pork spare ribs<\/em><\/strong> are no jesters. While the menu describes them as “fall-off-the-bone tender,” they have just a bit of “give” on them as you pull them off the bone. That’s the way it should be. Far too often, fall-off-the-bone denotes overdone. The ribs are tender and juicy with the spice and seasonings rub more pronounced (you’ll discern a bit more sweetness) than on the other meats. None of the meats needed sauce to make them palatable, but Marley’s sauce is good for dipping bread into. It’s sweet, vinegary and has a pleasing bite. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
BBQ Nachos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3 August 2014<\/strong>: Sides are no afterthought. The bacon potato salad<\/em><\/strong>, made with in-house cured bacon and a spice blend with personality, is very different from most potato salad served in New Mexico which tends to have a surfeit of mayo or salad cream. Shawne Riley, a long-time friend of this blog, called the potato salad the “closest to my Texas grandmother’s I’ve ever had.” We agreed the coleslaw<\/strong><\/em> was wonderful. Even with New Mexico green chile, the pinto beans<\/strong><\/em> have the flavor of Texas beans with sundry spices which detract from the natural flavors of the Land of Enchantment’s “other” official state vegetables (pinto beans and chile).<\/span><\/p>\n

3 August 2014<\/strong>: As a proud native New Mexican well acquainted and enamored with our state’s fantastic pecan crop<\/strong><\/em>, try as I might it was difficult to remain impartial about our pecans, especially when a Texas city has the audacity to declare itself “the pecan capitol of the world.” Alas, the pecan pie<\/em> <\/strong>was rich, decadent and absolutely mouth-watering. Nary a disparaging word can be said about it even though it wasn’t made with New Mexican pecans. During a visit in August, 2017, my server informed me that pecan pie is no longer on the menu. Instead, Marley’s now offers a strawberry-rhubarb pie (get it a la mode) which, while quite good–and quite Texan–didn’t please me as much as the pecan pie did.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
The oak which generates inviting aromas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

23 August 2017<\/strong>: BBQ Nachos are the sole appetizer on the menu though a heaping portion is enough to constitute a meal. Available with your choice of pulled pork or chopped brisket, the nachos are served atop a bed of tortilla chips covered with nacho cheese, jalapenos and the house barbecue sauce. The chopped brisket is redolent with the fragrant aroma of oak and there’s plenty of it. We found the sauce a bit on the sweet side with tangy notes that couldn’t quite tame the sweetness. That’s probably why my Kim competed with me for the jalapenos–and she normally wouldn’t touch jalapenos with the proverbial ten-foot-pole.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marley’s may not be the next best thing to eating at a barbecue restaurant in the Texas Hill Country of Central Texas, but in some ways it’s got those Lone Star bastions of bodacious barbecue beat.<\/span> Within the air conditioned confines of Marley’s, we were especially grateful not to be waiting in line for two hours for one of Austin’s famous pilgrimage barbecue restaurants to open even as oppressive humidity sapped our energy and mosquitoes the size of helicopters consumed us as eagerly as we would the barbecue.<\/span><\/p>\n
