That's crazy. I don't care how good it is, I'm not waiting in line for five hours even if the Pope was serving it.

Not a cookbook by any means. However...I hear there is a couple sauce recipes.Handcyclist said:Franklin's cookbook is set for release on Tuesday April 7, 2015Franklin Barbecue: A Meat-Smoking Manifesto Hardcover – April 7, 2015
Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
Done it a few times already Skinny. It's a very easy wait and the food is beyond worth it. The crowd is very enthusiastic about BBQ so there is a lot of great BBQ conversation. Also, the majority of the line is day drinking and having a good time with their friends.SkinnyV said:No food can taste that good to me....none.

It's actually a pretty fun wait- half in the bag by the time you actually eat. Food is amazing.Greensboro, NC

Look....y'all aren't Carolina Q where every minute counts and can't afford 4 hours.theyolksonyou said:
You guys fu©k off more than that on this forum and oh wait...you hang out on a BBQ forum. @SkinnyValmost has 2500 posts and @DoubleEgger is close to 700. Several of us have told y'all that it's unreal and pretty much every BBQ snob critic says the same and you don't have 4 hours for bucket list type BBQ. Come on fellas...don't be so close minded. Do it! Chill with a buddy, drink your ass off and post here while you're doing it! My gut says you'll be too busy having fun waiting that you will barely post.

I'm not a patient man at all. Never have been. However knowing Franklins reputation and hearing all the fuss about his place, I would bite the bullet one time and stand in line to try his grub. Then if nothing else, I would have a mark to measure my food as well as others against. There is a old saying that goes: good things come to those who wait. So someday I will be standing in that line. I do understand some folks reservation about the wait. After all time is money. Since I don't have much money but hopefully plenty of time left I would wait.

I've tailgated at the Iron Bowl a few times but waiting in that line looks waaay more fun! -
I can sit in a lawn chair and drink beer with the best of them. Total tailgate atmosphere, lots of fun.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Strong points made in this thread....day drinking tailgate atmosphere....yes I can do that.Seattle, WA

I was there last October - it was the highlight of a 3 week Texas trip. Very much worth the wait. It's hard to believe there's a 3+ hour wait every day. If you ask, they will take you in to see the next day's food in the pigs. I'm definitely not a stand in line kind of guy - this one is worth the wait, however long it takes.Santa Paula, CA

So jelly right now. I would hands down wait to try it. I truly believe he's the real deal.Ajax, ON Canada(XL BGE, MED BGE, La Caja China #2, and the wife's Napoleon gasser)

Hell did a clean burn onthe xl andbrats and started the smoke on bacon so far today im well past 4hours and 3/4 crocked. I WOULD WAITE.

This would be the biggest mistake you ever make(relatively).DoubleEgger said:That's crazy. I don't care how good it is, I'm not waiting in line for five hours even if the Pope was serving it. -

Oh but it is- brisket is by far the best I have ever had. Pulled pork was so so. Sausage and pork ribs were also outstanding.

Welllllll, we're waiting!

Please let me know before you do - I'll road trip down there from NC and hang out with you. Can't imagine a better way to spend a morning !!SGH said:I'm not a patient man at all. Never have been.

Everyone is right - it is a tailgate/experience, not waiting in line for food.
If you get a group, you can actually bulk order ahead of time and skip the line. I think they still do it, but it was pretty small minimums, 5 lbs maybe. You e-mail in on the first of the month, and see if you get in in time because orders are limited. Then you show up on the day you requested by 10:30am to get your to go order.
If you are late, your meat gets served to the regular line. If you dont email at the first of the month for the following month, dont worry about it because you waited to long anyway.Victoria, TX - 1 Large BGE and a 36" Blackstone -
Waited 6 hours before getting my food - man, this is crazier than two years ago (was only 4 hours wait back then). So, I waited in line at 8am and got the food around 2pm. Totally worth it though - the brisket melts in your mouth!!!

I'm more impressed that your family waited that long with you! Looks great!Mike - (1)LBGE, HeaterMeter v4.2.4

@thegooddocta Well, they really didn't wait in line that long because they went out to grab some fast food and stayed in the car most of time. Though, they stayed starting around 12 or 1 so keeping them in check for the last hour or so is kinda tricky
