About this audio guide
This guide to the Salt Lick BBQ near Driftwood traces how a rock outcrop where deer once gathered to lick exposed salt gave the place its name. It follows the Roberts family from eighteen sixty seven, when Thurmans great grandmother settled this stretch of Onion Creek, up to nineteen sixty seven, when Thurman and his sons turned a family recipe into a barbecue pit built stone by stone. Worth pausing at the pit edge, where the same limestone still sits under the smoke.
