    America is hungry for this…..far beyond good bbq. Back to simplicity, home made goodness, people in the community. Local butchers and bakers, farmers markets….list goes on. A young skilled girl in my community opened a small bakery, she is literally sold out 2 hrs after she opens, people line up no different than Aaron’s BBQ.

    I decided to head up here yesterday by my lonesome, to sit in line, and try some of the best BBQ in the land... so I've been told, seen, had (not fresh, kinda, a boss ordered a brisket for a holiday party in Seattle, and that's where I tried it the first time), and cloned (my best attempts).
    I spent nearly four hours in line and met a married couple from Houston who was in town for a wedding, a couple friends from Chicago, and another guy from the PnW area, I believe, as we had a lot of memories of Seattle, Tacoma, Vancouver, and all over the PnW. We all chatted, had a few drinks, and waited in excitement to try some really good BBQ. And I will tell you, it far exceeded my expectations. The best barbeque I've ever had. Even just chatting with the staff was nice. Taylor was great, as she came out and gave us notifications a few times. All of us even chatted about WA/OR area since I was wearing my Tacoma Rainiers hat, and she knew of the team being from OR.
    All the years my family and I lived in Central Texas, we never got to try Franklin Barbecue! It’s rated one of the best BBQ places in the country. And, oh my lamb… the wait was worth it. I would absolutely bs with folks from all over the country and do it again for four more hours.
    Every time I smoke a brisket, it’s always Central Texas style, and has always been from watching Aaron Franklin’s Master Class channel. Yesterday was an awesome day. Will definitely do again.

    The only thing Aaron seemed to forget mentioning was the involvement/ role of his wife. Mrs. Franklin has stated that she is asked all the time what it is like working for her husband. She states that she doesn’t. She is a co-owner who determines the direction of Franklin’s bbq.
