Franklin Barbecue

Franklin Barbecue is a modern barbecue pilgrimage site, famous for Central Texas brisket and the commitment required to taste it in person. The line, smoke, and anticipation are part of the destination.

Franklin helped define the national obsession with craft barbecue and has earned major acclaim, including a James Beard Award for Aaron Franklin.
