Smitty's Market (left) versus Kreuz Market (right). The battle has already been waged between family members providing this town of less than 12,000 with more than their fair share of great BBQ. Now the Travel Channel is coming to town to film a new series, and they're hosting a genuine throw down between the two storied joints. This is the announcement form the producers of the show.
"There is a great new Travel Channel series being shot in Lockhart, Texas this coming Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - January 20 - 22, 2010. Two great Texas BBQ joints, Kreuz Market & Smitty's Market will be featured on the show, so please come out to Lockhart Texas and participate in the Travel Channel's new food series about BBQ. Here's are all the particulars:
A new series will be airing this Spring on the Travel Channel. Our host is visiting cities around the country learning about their iconic food dishes. Next up on our food journey: Texas BBQ. If you’re a regular customer to Kreuz’s Market we want you there January 20th, between 11-2pm. If you prefer to dine at Smitty’s, then stop by between 11-2pm on January 21th. No matter which side off the fence you may fall, we want you all together at Field Stables on January 22nd at 12:15!"
