- Everyone’s heard of Franklin: the Austin barbecue favorite open only for lunch is known for great brisket and extremely long lines. But on a quick trip through Austin, killing 3-4 hours waiting for a meal is often out of the question. Enter: this episode of The Meat Show, wherein host and professional carnivore Nick Solares offers 3 totally worthy alternatives to Franklin, from the history-rich to the flavorful young guns.

We all know hes right
A fellow man of culture I see
For reference, I was there the day this was filmed. The line was 3 hours and 15 minutes, and I had a great time that day. I talked to people, drank some Lone Star beer, and took pictures. Met Benji, and had an awesome day. Made friends with the guy in front of me and his family from Chicago.
Besides the lines, cult following, and the best bbq hands down. When you have a professional video produced titled "the best bbq that isn't Franklin's" you know you made it. Congrats Aaron.
Originally from Austin. When I go back to visit friends and family I go to Terry Black's. Sooo good and no long lines if you go off hours.
I like that he appreciates the barbecue and culture. But as a native Texan, its strange hearing a brit using phrases like "much more sophisticated culinary expedition" in discussing deeply southern dishes
He sounds boston or new jersey.
@Craig Sundaram if only someone would make a thing on the internet to find stuff out about a subject by typing a simple question about said subject.
Why is it strange? He explains his reasoning. In modern barbecue joints, such as Franklins, there is more of an emphasis on the technique and science in achieving deliberate results and maximizing the good barbecue has to offer, while minimizing the bad.
He's some weird mix of American and British
I can assure you as a brit that we don't come across as pretentious as this guy haha
Awesome video. Love Nick and am very glad to see him back.
The last guy must be high...
OH YES most definitely. he was stoned for suuuuuuure.
AF.
Exactly right!
He's also in the Chili episode and he looks high there as well.
I said the same damn thing.
Super cool thanks for taking the time. Showing some neat places.
Great job Nick. Because of this episode, I have 3 more awesome places to visit when I go to Texas.
Great show, nick. The show is very informative.
im from the UK, never seen BBQ like this. really looks amazing
This video is so awesome!
Yes!! Welcome back Nick!!
Thanks a million for relieving me of the 5 hr. wait, will also check out the others posted.
Nick is a great man, he is a good presenter who obviously cares about food. highlighting some of the lesser known amazing foods of many states, especially my home state of Texas. Who cares about is past as a skinhead, he has renounced it and apologized. Everyone makes mistakes as a young adult, as we are easily indoctrinated into ideologies and beliefs. He stepped away from it and is now doing great work as a meat eaters spokesman.
G
nobody knew about his past, or cared about it, until you brought it up. seems like a passive and sly attempt at slandering and ruining the rep of a host / food journalist.
Jordan 7
@@JackJackKcajify you are very stupid
@@JackJackKcajify Mate, literally look a few comments down and people are still calling him skinhead. Jordan is completely right.
Iron Works will always hold a special place in my heart.
Tremendous. Nick, your videos are appointment viewing and a true guilty pleasure. Eater is good, but you're the star.
Thank you Nick! :) These features make me soooo hungry!
Nick you're great. I'm sick of those people that act like they are flawless and judge other people cowardly behind there screen ...
I have a feeling you have to wait for them now.
FINALLY someone mentioned House Park, the ABSOLUTE BEST BBQ in Austin!
It's great to see nick back! +eater
Texas Monthly says the best is Snow's in Lexington, Lee County. The pit boss
is the 73 year old head custodian at Giddings Middle School, everybody calls her Tootsie.
They all have full time jobs and ht's why Snow's is only open on Saturday.
“It’s held together by a mere rumor of collagen”. 👍😂😂😂
Excellent video about Austin BBQ....great job
This guys pretty informative i like it
Loved this video. My only quibble with it as a Virginian is that pulled pork has its roots in Virginia even though our Carolinian cousins are better known for it in this day and age. If you ever make it to Williamsburg, VA, I highly recommend Pierce's pit barbecue. Great episode and your passion for good delicious food is very apparent!
I'm originally from Austin and ya ain't wrong. And pulled pork is so good it needs to be shared! Recently had whole hog bbq in at Rodney Scott's in Charleston SC. Dang. That was a revelation. Got a personal tour of their hog cookers by the man himself. Great guy. Amazing food.
I just visited La Barbecue earlier and it was well worth the 2 hour wait for that brisket.
Eater is a great channel, regardless of who hosts each video.... Great quality content, keep up the work Eater
Yes. Great footage and great quality content. What more can any you tuber ask for ?
Thank you! Another great video :)
"Professional Carnivore". It gets me everytime.
I really don't get why people keeps saying that he seems cocky.
He's a former skinhead, fuck him.
+Bruh really? Where did you get that info from?
+Casey M www.thewrap.com/vox-medias-eater-blog-suspends-editor-over-past-life-as-skinhead-report/
Other than the fact that he used to be a skinhead in 1980s,I still don't see why people keeps saying that he's cocky.
About the photo that is uploaded to google+ in late 2012,I don't know if it's really from 2012 since he looks drastically younger that particular.
I didn't even recognise which one is nick.
But I digress.
Anyway what can be better than real Barbecue?
I love living in South Central Texas!!! Texas has the best BBQ in the world.
This guy describes things that have disintegrated as a "mere rumour" way too often haha. I liked it at first but he has said it in every video I've watched with him in it.
You don't have to wait in line--- just order ahead and you get to skip the line (remember this for after COVID). Franklin BBQ is the best- if you plan ahead, you don't have to wait forever. There's a line for a reason.
Good Video!!
Good Video! Austin is legit for BBQ and La Barbeque is outstanding, though their line can be more than an hour too. Have to go back and try the other spots here.
you guys have the best music!!!
I really enjoyed this guy. Very enthusiastic.
I'm so happy you dig Iron Works
AMAZING !!!!!
Awesome!!!!
Don't really see the reason for the downvotes - I do prefer Lucas' personality maybe but they both deserve merits and know their stuff. pls no bully
Because this guy was a skinhead
Wow. True or fake, this review and tasting was fairly accurate and entertaining. We should trust eater with their choice of host even if thats true ( wich would be a shame ).
ATW Tech Yeah Yeah, done some research myself but it seems he's trying to deeply forget this episode of his life. If he's over it, great, if he's lying tho', anyway, I'll trust Eater to make the right decision as them only can decide.
Embarrassing strawman argument, skinheads weren't dictators that killed millions of people, they're just racists.
+Jernau Morat Not all Skinheads are racist. Quite a few are anti-fascist.
Omg I need to go to USA for this BBQ. It looks so tasty
My opinion on BBQ is that variety is the spice of life. I have not spent time in Austin, but I know in KC, I've yet to have bad BBQ. It's wonderful to try different people's 'Q and experience the differences.
This all looks incredible to me.
KC bbq is all covered in a sweet sticky sauce, like it’s trying to hide something. True central Texas beef bbq has no sauce. So you have to get it right.
does franklins not have lines anymore? do they still sell out?
welcome back :))
I love the comments that Nick Solares gives. Fun guy to listen to, sounds like he knows his stuff. I'd like to see more of what he has to say. That camera though...does it still take film? Can you even buy film these days?
The guy serving the mixed plate at House Park has been working there FOREVER.
1:18 she T H I C C
Had to go back and pause that. 👆
😂 Nothing escapes the eye of TH-cam viewers does it 😂
She ain’t got no business being that thicc
Came for the bbq stayed for dat ass
I love this guy what a fantastic host, his knowledge base is unbelievable. I love how he covers all facets not just the meat but the patina of the place that serves it
the photo of nick taken in front of iron work is pretty dope. I Think he was a cool teenager back then. i am so curious about what he have been doing in his youth.
La barbeque is phenomenal and absolutely the first place I'd go if I couldn't swing Franklins, but time allowing, Franklins is still king.
Austin TX, my dream food destination. Hope I get to visit someday.
meh
Interesting video, thanks
Fantastic video. Dunno how I missed it until now.
yes i'd like to torture myself by watching this at 3pm with my stomach so empty like my soul
you made me hungry thank you
I saw this place at Chef movie. Seeing chef casper eating that thing makes my mouth watery.
Solares' prose once again blazes hotter than any of the pits featured in this video. I have a viscous coating of tang on my tongue just thinking about the next episode of Meat Eater. #I'mOnTeamSolares
Tittle said places you don’t have to wait in line, but the second place had a line that resembles that of Franklins.
Oh why do I torture myself watching these mouth watering bbq videos sigh... my kingdom my kingdom for great brisket n ribs.
Meat isn't my favourite thing to eat but this video is making me so hungry.
Wait...did he say the burnt end is the flat of the brisket that they chop off and refire? I just finished watching Aaron Franklin's video and he says the burnt ends come from the "point".
It's from the point, and Nick knows it very well, he just goofed here.
@@kevenheinz6962 Oh....so you speak for him. Check! Got it!
I came to the comments to see if anyone else picked up on that
@@GlassHalfFull10 me too and so they did.
Your plate makes my mouth water. 我喜欢吃西餐。❤️❤️
Reads title but 15 seconds in he says there’s a 4 hour line you have to wait in🤣
As an Austinite on Ironworks - This is a place that the corporate convention center herd goes to on their lunch break as it is across the street. It sux compared to the other Austin BBQ places. La BBQ is great though. Many other great local bbq places could have been visited here instead of Iron works. Styles Switch, Coopers, Blacks, etc... the list is long.
La Barbecue is my favorite with Franklin's being a close 2nd. I was so happy when La Barbecue opened up near my vacation loft. I can't leave Austin until I get some food from there. You can't go wrong with either place. Wish we had something similar to that up in New York City. Virgil's, Dinosaur, Hometown, Dallas, and other BBQ places in Manhattan/Brooklyn can't compare. If you're looking for a vacation spot, just going to Austin for the BBQ is worth it to me. Definitely check it out.
No place is worth waiting in line for when I can make mine own in my smoker and sit while it smokes. Jay from Dallas.
You only live once...
I've been to numerous cities in the world, beginning within the USA where the food/cuisine was beyond famous and I agree.........., no need to ever wait. There's always some other place that let's you walk right in............ Get a life and reality stupid hipsters...................
Well, if you choose House BBQ or Ironworks instead of Franklin or LaBarbeque, you made a mistake. Nobody goes to Franklin all the time but it's world class. Now, LaBarbeque is fantastic but will likely have an hour wait.
Yes sir
@@death2pc The world is waiting. You went ot numerous cities around the world? You must have gone on an airplane. So you must have waited in line. I guess you must be a hipster. Get a life and stay at home where you don't need to wait for anything or anyone.
Of course there are other great bbq places. But Franklin's is the King of bbq. Plain and Simple. Been to a lot of places and this one is hands down the best. And for all complaining about the long line/wait, that's the fun part! And if you don't want to wait, then you don't have to eat there.
I was in Austin in January. I went to the Ironworks as well as Rudy's , which is a chain across the region. I went to the Saltlick and a couple others in Lockhart.
What was your favorite place?
@@mmholling87 For atmosphere the Saltlick would be hard to beat. There was a fire/smoke pit near where you enter and above the wood are these sausages absorbing the smoke. There was in Lockhart, in the town centre, one where the pitmaster was really friendly and let me get up close and then took me for a tour.
@@rickrayn thanks for the response. I have tried a few places in DFW but I would like to try Franklin's, Black, Kreuz, and the Saltlick.
I've said it before, the hostility towards Nick Solares is irrational.
He's a skinhead with hateful political views
+ufinc Not relevant to the job he is doing, which is tasting meat.
+ufinc that was decades ago. And he apologised sincerely multiple times
was a skinhead
no it isn't, if you've seen previous episodes you'll notice how pretentious he can be. I do agree that he gets too much hate though
welcome back... we all got a past
I thought this was daily dose of internet’s channel, and was like whaaaaaat, lol
I've never heard of these other barbecue places but I'll definitely check them out I still haven't gone to franklins but I've lived here my whole life I'll go to that last guy for sure
I dig The Meat Show with the quirky host. Cheers,🍸
Proud of your boy
Last guy was so high god dauym! He probably beats half of Amsterdam XD
I’m from Austin,Texas love my city😍
i like the explanation of BBQ I.Q.
Burnt ends come from the point. The flat doesn't have enough fat to take on any additional cooking. The flat is best for slices of lean brisket.
BBQ looks delicious, I like ribs with texture also, similar to I like my pasta al dente
4:11 Not the flat of the brisket. Burnt ends are from the point.
omg, im watching this right before lunchtime and its torture.
you need to work on the sound, it's messy, but I love the content!
Texas perfected BBQ and then decided to serve mac and cheese with it. Imagine that 😅
At 1:18 you can see that Ironworks also sells cakes in the background
I can’t watch this and not get up and go eat something. It just makes me too hungry
So the serving from the foodtruck is that a normal portion for 1?
1:59 damn man I don't know about you but I think them ribs been left on abit long 🤣
The sausage of central Texas is beef based. However there is a lot of pork sausage in North and East Texas. Each region has its own spin and influences.
Do try all kind of food. Try Sushtronming if you can.
I'm a 4th gen Texan and, I would be honored to eat Texas BBQ at just about any BBQ Joint in the State. And just about have. 90% are just as good as Franklins. It's real easy to tell. How crowded are they at lunch and dinner. How long have they been in business. The more the place looks like the pits haven't been cleaned since Carter was President the better. Also I have never eaten at a Black BBQ joint that wasn't to die for. In the last 20 years I've eaten at two joints where I would not go back. Both were less than a year old. If I lived anywhere but Texas, I'd just be a Vegan.
I love this host
It sure looked like you had to wait for the second BBQ
The man explains well the food he eats.
Burnt ends are from the point not the flat. It tastes sooo good
Eater is becoming the new food network :)
Burnt ends come from the point not the flat. 😆
Just like he said La Barbecue was founded by John Lewis, and that’s incorrect also.
yes yes yes love the whole vids and ALL THE MEATS....but, just curious the little background bluesy-diddy song is sumptuous also (6:06-6:18_ ...anyone knows about that tasty beat
Austins best bbq is sam bbq in east austin.martin luther king and mickjager used to adore that spot
