To help get you started while you plan your Texas terroir treks, impress your family and friends by making pulled pork barbecue from one of the hottest old-school purveyors of 'que in the country. Yes, that's right, you now have access to some of Franklin Barbecue's secrets.
Franklin Barbecue’s Pulled Pork Sandwich
Although beef is foremost in the minds of Texans when you mention barbecue, the pulled pork sandwich served at Austin’s wildly popular Franklin Barbecue is so fabulous it is worth the long wait usually required to get one. Adored by everyone from local bloggers to the New York Times and Bon Appétit, Franklin Barbecue has a line outside its door every single day, and very few complain about waiting three hours or more to get their barbecue. The sandwiches are great to prepare for a crowd, each of whom will love you, especially because they didn’t have to stand in line.
