Hard to talk about “bests” when so many bites I had were remarkable but I can say that those places were spectacular. No shame in kissing the Franklin ring. Aaron paved the way for the bbq renaissance we're seeing today. But I wholeheartedly agree that both Micklethwait and La BBQ are as good or better. La BBQ is amazing for their consistency. Their pitmasters leave (frequently) and open up successful restaurants of their own and somehow the consistency and quality never changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BrightonCorgi Posted May 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2019 Here's some lamb shanks seasoned ras el hanout, salt and preserved lemon. It was cooked on a WSM without a water pan and cooked at above the smoking range (325 f). I think it was 3-4 hours? 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far we have had Roegels, Pinkerton's, Truth, and Corkscrew. There is always good food and better company. Would love to....timing on the others just has never worked out. When is the next one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burningman Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I lived in Katy TX just outside of Houston for a while. My co workers introduced me to a place called The Hickory Hollow. Fantastic BBQ but not as well known as other places. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corylax18 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Franklin's is something special. I love the scientific approach he takes and he's like the masked magician. His shows and videos on how he does what he does, and why are must watch for anyone serious about doing their own home BBQ. One of the best briskets I've ever tasted. The line can be a bit ridiculous, but if you ask nicely, very nicely. They may just let you in the back to check out the pits. All of them are hand made iterations of his own creation. Chopped up Propane tanks, with smaller propane tanks hanging of the side for fire boxes. All with their own names and "personalities." Arthur Bryant's, in KC is also amazing, but same issue with Franklins. Its an "Appointment Meal" the line can get ridiculous and you end up spending at least two hours there between waiting in line and enjoying the meal. My "go to" became Smoking Guns, in North Kansas City, best burnt ends I've ever had. I would pick one spot over all of the above. Luella's BBQ in Asheville, NC. Whole hog BBQ and the best I've ever had. The Ribs and Pulled pork are both amazing. The first 5 photos are from Franklins, then Smoking Guns and finally a shot of Luella's Pork. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hayes Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Will be in Dallas for two days before Christmas on holiday before heading to Mexico then Cuba. Interested in any Fort Worth options? In Melbourne, Australia, our best IMHO is Fancy Hanks. https://www.fancyhanks.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll be up there in a few weeks for most of June. Her friend is getting married on the Cape. I’d definitely be open to meet up for a cigar if time allows.

I also enjoyed 18th & Vine BBQ in Dallas. Only place I have eaten in Ft. Worth is Angelo's BBQ - has been open since the 1950s and was very good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokinNukie Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I travel a lot for work and have had the opportunity to enjoy BBQ all over the US. A lot of the KC joints listed here are great. Same with Houston and Dallas. 4Rivers in the Orlando area is great too. Their brisket is always consistent. Probably my favorite BBQ was in Taos, NM at Jethros Genuine Texas BBQ truck. It was fantastic. Maybe it was the setting or that I was with family, whatever it was their 3-meat Omnivore sandwich was outstanding. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g47224-d10291252-Reviews-Jethro_s_Genuine_Texas_Barbeque-Taos_Taos_County_New_Mexico.html?m=19907Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
