The Austin City Limits Music Festival – (ACL) wrapped up its two-weekend event Sunday at Zilker Park. By all accounts it was a tremendous success as tens of thousands filled the park to hear musical acts such as George Strait, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Duran Duran and more.
Another big hit for festival goers came not in the form of music — but meat — barbecue that is, from local barbecue guru Kent Black.
Black, a 3rd generation pit master and owner of the Original Black’s Barbecue, said they sold about 4,000 pounds of chopped brisket — that’s two tons – and 2,000 pounds of pulled pork, or one ton. If that’s not enough they sold 600 pounds of ribs, that's about 3,000 rib bones, and around 1,500 links of their original Blacks BBQ sausage on a stick.
