Lockhart BBQ/Emporium Pies - Bishop Arts District

The last few years our kiddos have been going to Bishop Arts District from time to time. So the wifey and me had a free Saturday and decided to mosey on down there and see What's Up. So we did the Acro dance to the Bishops Art District. First of all, if you go, take your parking place with you, because you ain't gonna find one down there. Actually Google search Bishop Arts District Parking and jot down all of the options, you are gonna need'em. The Arts District on the map looks like it is 7 blocks long and 4 blocks deep. Not really. Davis Ave is probably 4 blocks long, then Bishop drive is 4 blocks long and Madison is about 1 block. That's about it. Mainly the area are art shops and restaurants. The people buying the art are not in my pay grade. Wow, if two things are welded together, they cost at least $2,000. The next time one of our family buggies die, forget selling them to the junk yard, I am going to part them out as art. I saw one piece of art that was bearings, piston connecting rods, timing chain and various other motor parts, $2,000. In the last couple of years we have given away hundreds of thousands of dollars of worthless car parts, that could have been welded into modern art. Go figure.

Also, you better do some study of the restaurants in the area. Most of 'em cost more than a week's wage of work at my neighbors pig farm slopping pigs. I am talking white table cloth pricey. I am not sure I can afford driving through this area, but I know I can't afford to walk around.

One of the exceptions to the restaurant problem is Lockhart BBQ, Lockhart is part of Kreuz Market which main location is in Lockhart, Tx. Now a good redneck knows where all of the BBQ joints in Texas are and Lockhart has the motherlode. So we slithered into Lockhart's and the wifey ordered brisket and I ordered sausage. We didn't order sides because we already planned a visit to Emporium Pies later. So we found us a table and dove right in. This is some good que. Great flavor, some black pepper and a good tasting BBQ sauce. This is a good choice. The wifey highly recommends the brisket. I was going to get a bite or two, but it was gone before I could get there. Lockhart's is one place in this area that a certified redneck can feel at home.   Good fixin's rat here.

Afterward, we walked about 30 minutes until we had seen most of the area, so it was time to head to Emporium Pies. Now this is some mighty good pie rat here. So I ordered "Lord of the Pies". This is apple pie with caramel and cinnamon. Man this is one good pie. The crust is amazing and plenty of cinnamon. The wifey ordered the Smooth Operator which is a dream chocolate pie. she plowed through that thing with a vengeance. She had eaten a piece of this pie before and it is unbelievable. Emporium now has a 2nd location in Deep Ellum at 2708 Main St and a 3rd location on the square in McKinney. The Deep Ellum location is next door to Pecan Lodge, which is around the corner from Twisted Root, Adairs and Angry Dog. So you know we will be hitting this location regular.

One interesting thing about the Bishop Arts District is there are murals painted on the sides and backs of buildings in the area. These are very interesting.

So if you are bored and looking for something to do, drag yourself over to Oak Cliff and check out Bishop Arts District.
