I can't believe I am saying this... but it is just food. Maybe I would appreciate the Franklin thing more if I were into hanging out for half of my day drinking beer, but I am not (I am being serious). I can tend my own pit for that amount of time and feel like I accomplished something besides having "bragging rights" that I did Franklin. I have had both Franklin and Pecan Lodge. Both are very good, but even without the line I am not sure I would choose either over my regular hangout, Hutchins. And now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
