The Most Embarrassing Restaurant Lines In America - The Infatuation

"Estimated Wait: 2-5 hours on weekends The Payoff: Ridiculously tender brisket, peppery pork ribs, and conventional barbecue sides "I have had Franklin Barbecue multiple times, but I've never waited in that godforsaken line. Hopefully I never will. If that means I've missed an Austin rite of passage, so be it. There are two Franklin hacks: 1.) Order online up to 42 days in advance, then bypass the crowd and take your meat haul to Zilker Park, or 2.) Go somewhere else altogether! LeRoy and Lewis and KG BBQ are better, Micklethwait and Distant Relatives don't require hours-long waits, and Parish is the cool newcomer that hasn't been sucked into the BBQ hype machine (yet)." - bryan kim, team infatuation, will hartman, bryan kim, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nick allen, sylvio martins, cathy park, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, candis mclean, aimee rizzo
