Franklin BBQ 2015
We knew what we were in for, and we came prepared.
Arrived at 7:05 and we were near the front of the line. About a dozen people ahead of us (not counting children).
By 8:15 the line was out to the parking lot.
We had a few heavy downpours and people who were less prepared were experiencing discomfort. We were under the awning, reading books and magazines. A steady stream of trucks and cabs unloaded people and their coolers. People who didn't think to bring a cooler of beer made the hike over to CVS to buy 12-packs of Lone Star or Shiner. By 10 AM a lot of beer had been consumed by the BBQ Pilgrims.
Door was unlocked at 11AM and we made it in with the first wave of customers. Samples were passed back around 11:15 and we had our first large chunk of the world's best brisket... that's why we came.
We ordered five LBs to go, and a half LB to eat then and there.
We also got a rack of ribs and ten links of sausage. Ribs were not as good as last time. We took it over to my Mom's house for a family feast.
