Sitting in line at Franklin bbq

[Kaptain Kadian]

Got here at 8 and there was already 50 people or so in line. Came by and told us it was around 12:30 eat time. Got 2 lbs of lean brisket, 1/4 lbs of fatty brisket 2 ribs and 2 sausage links. I have high expectations. Will post pictures as I get the food. Doing a little bbq trip. Probably going to Lockhart tomorrow.

My wife asked if he was going to be here, and they said they were not sure. I am going to go take a tour of the pits.

People are still lining up. There is no way they are getting food. This is amazing

While you are making the tour Kent Black (related to blacks in Lockhart) has a newish place in San Marcos that I found to be better than the Lockhart establishments. I haven't had franklins but I grew up in that area, worked for a few BBQ joints and even worked in Lockhart (not at the Q places but I ate at each one often) for a few years so I have a long standing central Texas BBQ history. The salt lick is also fun, but their Q is not as good as the others, but it's still pretty darn good.

The people next to me ate at salt lick last night. They said it was ok, but disappointed in the brisket.

Very jealous. Can't wait to see pictures.

Don't eat the 1/4 pound of point all at once....

Glad to see you pacing yourself though on a trip like that.

Eat slowly and savor the moment. I can only dream for now.

If you're still around on Saturday I'd try to make a trip to Snow's out in Lexington. They're only open Saturday morning's and you need to see Tootsie before she retires or something. Then on the way back to I35 you should stop at Louie Mueller's in Taylor.

Don't waste your time at the Salt Lick. They don't cook the meats on that round pit out front, that's all for show. It's an okay place to hang out and have a beer but don't expect BBQ greatness from it.

The line as the door opened

 

[Kaptain Kadian]

My lovely wife that has endured the line

 

[Kaptain Kadian]

They said the cutting is what is the slowest part. Worth it to have fresh cut brisket

We have a Franklin siting
