What do y'all consider "cold" and I know, without a doubt, your lunch was better than mine!

SO Jealous. Will be in Austin this weekend. I plan on visiting some spots myself. Don't think I will be able to make it there but Valentina's is for sure.Midland, TX XLBGE

It's not even December here and I'm already looking forward to temperatures reaching the upper 30s (-: I see they have the fans turned off for some reason. Hope that doesn't affect any of the yelp reviews.Stillwater, MN

Holy smokes. Been several years since I have darkened the door of Franklin. Glad we did. Line was about an hour due to the 39 degree temp on a Tuesday. Glad we came but there are so many other great options all around that the risk/reward of waiting for bbq is not what it used to be.
Still A++ bbq and the standard by which all
others are measured. Good news for us is that 2-3 other spots in town meet that standard and have no (or much smaller) lines.
I loaded up on swag (t shirt, hat, cafeteria tray) as I may not be back for a while. Great day. Need a nap.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

Meat coma for sure.
Funny thing is, the catalyst for this was a shady parking lot heritage grit deal.

Quick review:- Brisket - Off the charts great (no surprise here). Micklethwait on par, better than Valentina's (which was also fantastic)
- Pork ribs - Fantastic. Better than what I had at Micklethwait (which were also very good). These were super tender, meaty and peppery
- Sausage - Meh. It was good, but we didn't finish it*. We've made better and they make better every day at Micklethwait. Valentina's might be better as well, though it didn't jump out at me at the time. Micklethwait's was awesome.
- Sides - Didn't get any. (Micklethwaits were awesome).
- Ambiance - Indoors > outdoors when it is <40F. Win for Franklin
In conclusion:- Ya gotta go see the king, at least once
- Austin is filthy with fantastic BBQ options
- I won't wait an hour again, but I am sure glad I did this time

That's the whole reason I teach the classes. I still like to cook them but it's not worth it to do at home for just TFJ and I. Keeps me in the game, all the brisket all gets eaten on the spot, and someone else does the dishes. I've gotten so picky that I'm unimpressed by most of my briskets but everyone in class thinks I'm a wizard They honestly don't know any better but it's good for the ol ego to hear they are good every once in a while.

I made him take the pic because I was up to my elbows in brisket juice.
No risk of dirty fork pics here. This was handled Viking style.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
I just did the math...1295 calories. all meat (the bread in the pic did not get eaten). THe only good thing is I have been eating low carb. I crushed that part

Franklin's is a must for any fan of BBQ, at least once. Would I go there regularly? Nope, plenty of other options that are almost as good with no wait. His Turkey is pretty kick a$$ too. Try that next time if you ever go back.
