Gray Line Tours - Austin

Good morning! 🌞 Only 91 days until summer kicks off! What are your plans? Will the Texas heat keep you indoors or are you ready for some fun in the sun? 😎

It's barbecue season!

in 1961, then-Vice President Johnson hosted a barbecue for Pakistani leader Muhammad Ayub Khan and more than 500 visitors at the LBJ Ranch. The Vice President enjoyed welcoming guests of honor at his ranch, often sending them home with gifts. On this occasion, President Khan left with a saddle, three Texas-style hats, a pair of spurs and a hunting jacket.

The day marked one of several barbecues hosted at the ranch for visiting dignitaries. Typically, barbecues included live music, good conversation and most importantly - food! Frequently on the menu: barbecued beef, chicken, pork, pinto beans, potato salad, pickles and pecan pralines washed down with beer and coffee.

What are you grilling this summer?
