    About Stubb's



    The recipe for a great Bar-B-Q doesn't start with its ingredients on a

piece of paper, but with the heart to create something great, a flavor that

people will always remember. Born deep in the heart of Texas, Stubb always

knew the recipe that made people tick -- good music and great food. With

that in mind, he created his first Bar-B-Q joint, Stubb's Bar-B-Q, in

Lubbock, Texas. Later, he followed his friends to Austin to continue

combining meats, sauces, desserts and great live music. To this day,

Stubb's stays true to its tradition as the best Bar-B-Q in the nation. For
