"At the top of the list for Austin barbecue, with plans to get there in the morning, jump out as a group with a cooler full of beers and some chairs, and have a good hang until noon when they open — pure excitement to finally dig in." - Erin Russell
"Starting from a smoke-stained trailer in 2009, Aaron Franklin elevated Texas-style smoked meats into a national obsession—perfectly barked, juicy brisket served after the infamous line (complete with free beer) became as much about the full ritual and experience as it is about the food, spawning cookbooks, classes, and a lasting barbecue legacy." - Eater Staff
