back in black…

If you are serious about Texas BBQ, you know about Black’s.  I first heard of Black’s BBQ when reading the famous Texas Monthly listing of the “50 Best Barbecue Joints in Texas.”  (That’s a VERY competitive list and Black’s is on it.)  Black’s is Texas’ oldest barbecue restaurant continuously owned by the same family and they’ve been working their magic since 1932.  (In Texas that means they are definitely doing something right, because we are serious about our barbecue down here!)

Their meat is delicious – and is only seasoned with salt and pepper.  The super moist brisket cooks for 24 hours before it melts in your mouth and their BBQ sauce is is made from scratch in-house.  To say their food is delicious is an understatement, for certain.

Not headed to Lockhart, Texas anytime soon?  No worries.  Marburger Farm is bringing Black’s to you!  Black’s will be one of our two new featured food vendors at the Spring show.  So, head on over and grab a plate of piping hot brisket with some of that sweet BBQ sauce and mark this meat off of your Texas Monthly “must try” list.  You’re gonna love it!

For more information about the history of Black’s Barbecue or to see articles written about them and videos featuring them, head on over to their website here.

it’s party thyme!

We all know that there is more than one reason to head to the Marburger Farm Antique Show.  Don’t get me wrong, the antiques are fabulous.  The steals you can get on art are unparalleled, the furniture is a well-edited and affordable collection of things that any Southern girl would love to have in her home and the accessories offered give your home that well-traveled, interior designer appeal.  But all of that shopping takes energy and that energy comes from one place…the food pavillion!

Marburger is thrilled to announce that Party Thyme will be returning this year.  They’re always a favorite of our show attendees.  Their tacos always hit the spot after a morning of shopping and decision making.  And don’t worry, we’ll still have beer, wine and our delicious margaritas in the Blacksmith Bar.  We all know tacos in Texas taste best with an ice cold margarita!

So, get your palate ready for too many tasty treats to count at the show this year.  You’ll want to come to the show every day of the week so that you can taste all of the yummies that we have in store for you!  Stay tuned for more info to help you plan your eating menu while at the show…

our vendors

card

Let’s be honest…the thing that makes the Marburger Farm Antique Show so amazing (besides the delicious food, running into old friends and the Texas hill country!) are our vendors.  Our vendors are the BEST!  They have such well-edited collections that they save up for the Marburger show.  They bring top of the line goodies at a fair price.  You can invest in a great piece, score a sweet inexpensive deal, find vintage fine jewelry and stock your garden all here at Marburger Farm.  And the only reason that you can do all of that – is our vendors.  They bring great stuff, they smile all week long and they work extremely hard to make sure you have a great time and find good deals.  So, join us in giving a big shout out to the crew that worked so hard and invested sweat equity in getting this show set up for you.  They did a great job!  Oh, and they are super fun to hang out with, too.  Bonus!
