Re: BBQ
I also love the Salt Lick. They have a spot in the Austin airport; it's not as good as the real place but buy a vacuum-sealed smoked brisket and you'll be mighty happy when you get back home.
If you're stuck in Austin, the Iron Works has pretty good pork ribs and brisket. I'm told some of the places in Luling and Taylor, Texas (about 40 minute drive) are great, like Kreuz Market, Smitty's and Luling City Market.
In LA, Phillips in Leimart Park has excellent beef ribs, known more for the meat than the sauce.
