Isnt that in Baustin?

I've sat through it twice. Well worth it.

But if you want great food without the wait go down south to Valentina's trailer on Brodie, just south of William Cannon.

Not going to make it out of Lakeway today but I'm jealous!!!!!!

Tear some brisket up!!

BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!

Not necessarily. You get more protien grammage per pound by going lean. More bang for the buck.

Also, the preferred nomenclature is "well marbled" or "moist." Definitely makes it healthier.

Love this place. +1 -- I live right at the 290/71 Y if there's any other Austin bears nearby.

Make it to the counter yet?

Top Cut

Franklin is unmatched but John Lewis of LaBBQ is a verrryyy close second.

Valentina's and Stiles Switch are also fantastic. The former sometimes offers a brisket queso which is the best queso I've ever had.

Valentina's queso is crazy good. And their breakfast tacos...

I'm downtown if you have leftovers.

It was sent to the F&B board.

Cause Austin is full of Democrats?

Travis and Bexar Counties :/

And Dallas, and Houston, and El Paso

Agreed. Freedman's is also very good as there's no line to contend with. A bit pricey, but a solid alternative to the other places you mentioned.

LaBBQ is awesome, plus you get complementary Lone Star.

I've been to Franklin 3 times and must say, I find it singular is Brisket. I have a buddy who get really close as Aaron taught him how to do it. However, there is no way in hell I'm standing in that line, ever. There is lots of really good que to be had all over this state and a lot of really bad, also. I'm 4th generation Texan, grew up on cue, got seriously into smoking when I was younger, have traveled the trails many times, but I have to say, I just don't get the fascination with it. There are a lot of other things I'd rather eat.

That's why you preorder and walk to the front of the line and pick it up.

I agree. Do the same at Pecan Lodge in Dallas.

Franklin does a pre-order? I didn't know that. I know the Trough or 5 lb order at the express line at Pecan Lodge. Is it the same?

Last time I did it required 24 hour notice. But just call or email in advance. They'll take care of you. When I did Aaron actually picked up.

Awesome, good to know that. I don't get down to Austin as much as I have the last several years but I will for sure do this sometime.
