"There’s a reason people get in line at the crack of dawn, six days a week, for the opportunity to try Franklin Barbecue’s brisket. This is the beef that started a movement and put Central Texas-style barbecue in the conversation about America's most famous regional specialties. We may have had better pieces of brisket on occasion, but there’s no denying Franklin's nearly impossible consistency." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
