The Pit

Lockhart, TX — Smitty's Market. Smitty's has been operating out of this building since 1948, though the pits themselves go back even further — the original Kreuz Market ran here before a family split sent the name one way and the building another. That sign on the wall, the concrete floors, the tin ceiling blackened by decades of post oak smoke — none of it is aesthetic, none of it is for you. It just is. I watched this worker move toward the pits with the unhurried confidence of someone who's done this a thousand times, while a woman on the bench waited the way you wait at Smitty's — without complaint, because you already know it's worth it. Texas BBQ culture is built on that unspoken agreement: they do the work, you respect the process.
