Franklin Barbecue

Every day since Franklin Barbecue opened for business as a modest food trailer in 2009, it has sold out of its famous brisket. After a showing in the movie "Chef," mentions in the New York Times and a nomination for the James Beard award, Aaron Franklin's food is even more heralded. The barbecue here has been heralded as some of the best in the country, and even with the larger brick and mortar location, you'll still find a line out the door more often than not - often with waits of three or four hours. The consistency is amazing, and although the lines are not something most people would brave frequently, Franklin's is a can't-miss experience at least once for barbecue lovers.
