You should have stood in line for 2.5 hours, worth every minute of the wait.
My wife and I were in San Antonio for vacation last week and drove up to Austin on Tuesday (9-3-13) to eat at Franklin's. I contacted Aaron a few weeks prior to make sure he would be there. (Met him at the taping of BBQ Pitmasters). He said come Tuesday and be in line around 9:00. Aaron came out and got us about 9:15. He gave us a tour of the pits and answered a lot of questions. We returned to the line and got to the counter about 12:00. Ordered the Brisket (fat and lean), pork, turkey, ribs, sausage, pintos, and slaw. All I can say is it was the best Brisket I have ever eaten.
Also went to Lockhart on Friday and to Smitty's, Blacks, Kreitz; was disappointed to say the least.
