Quite simply this is the "Franklin's" of Franklin interviews. Best I've seen...and I think I've seen them all!

this is insane. What a well organised, calm and happy environment. Everyone seems to really know their business there.

Thank you sir. Can't wait to have a drink with you someday.

Thank you for putting this together. I would love to get there one day.

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.

I always say: If they ever needed an actor to play the part of Aron Franklin, they would have to get Jeff Glodblum.... and that's all I got to say about that.

Was that $33 per smoker or for all of them? That is a high wood cost for each smoker - great video.

you need to do a sweepstakes giveaway just like the Willy Wonka‘s chocolate factory, but you can call it Franklins barbecue factory. enjoyed the tour.

$34 a pound for brisket! Highway robbery as we say here in Texas! People from Canada coming down to pay that price? I wouldn't go across the street to pay that!

Appreciate the insight but the music does not fit the vibe at all. Ethereal piano vs. quirky, light-hearted BBQ joint?

The color balance in the beginning made Aaron's teeth super yellow 😅 00:00

Where is this place

I saw those prices per pound and had to pause the video. Wow that's expensive!

My take on this is there’s serious competition now and he needs to be the face again. Would love to know when the last time he cooked there.

What was most amazing about this video was that Kevin didn’t say a word or utter a question! Unless, you advised Aaron what to say ahead of time. Just letting Aaron talk and determine the direction of the video was brilliant! Well done! 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.
