Great video. Liked seeing what happened behind the scenes to prep the food for the next day.

Really interesting, thanks for sharing. This really shows how much goes into an operation like this. It's not just being able to put in long hours, but it's knowing how to staff and organize. Not for the faint of heart, for sure.

Franklin said his longest shift was 70some hours? That's nuts. I'd probably drop dead happily if I did that!

The first time I saw franklin BBQ was on one of the food channels and franklin turned me onto butcher paper brisket. He has a great video on trimming brisket on YouTube as well

That guy is has some energy in him. 8 hour shift in a restaurant is hard enough, add in another 16 hours whoa. I bet he slept good the next day, after a few ibuprofen or aleves.

Ive been lucky enough to take a trip down to Austin TX, and made it to franklins. Its an awesome time, they have amazing customer service. Its pretty cool because yea you have to get there early, but you start seeing employee interaction around 8 am so that helps. They also come around the line taking "orders" and sell beer and snacks. Its like the football game of bbq, where else can you tailgate while waiting for a restaurant to open?

I remember a video where aaron said he'd like all of his briskets to look like they were punched out by a cookie cutter, you can really see thats true in this clip.

That is truly a round the clock operation, I commend them for the quality of product they have to consistently live up to. Dont get me wrong you get charged for it, it was $21/lb for brisket at the time I went. However I believe it is CAB prime, plus you see how much time and effort it takes to create the product you get.

I will stop my ramble, trust me Its def worth the trip.

It's amazing at the amount of hard work and long hours that go into making this BBQ.

If he cooks at 275° like he says he must have a loooong hold time on the big meats...

Anybody else notice...I think they wrapped the brisky after 9 hours and it was still cooking after 14 hours. It didn't really show when they pulled it...or how they held it after cooking and before serving. I am guessing cook for 16-18 hours total..then hold for 6-8 hours. Or they could have been pulling at the 14 hour mark and holding for 10-12.

Just made me go hmmm?
