Franklin Barbecue

Franklin Barbecue is Austin's most celebrated pitmaster destination, founded by Aaron Franklin in 2009 and built around USDA Prime brisket slow-smoked over post oak — selling out up to 2,000 pounds daily. Franklin won the 2015 James Beard Award for Best Chef: Southwest, becoming the first BBQ specialist ever to receive the honor. Named best barbecue in America by Bon Appétit and a perennial Texas Monthly top pick, Franklin has been visited by President Obama and featured on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations.
