Aaron Franklin's Personal Tour of Franklin Barbecue

Seems like such a humble guy. He says "Oh nothing special." Mr. Franklin, it's all very special sir.

I’ve seen the inside of that dry storage and it was a room the size of a tennis court just full of Lawrys, jars of tallow and mad scientist bbq gagged and tied to a chair in the corner.

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

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

I've had the opportunity to meet Aaron a few times now. Absolutely hilarious guy, a master of his craft, and a massive dork in the best way possible lol.

Aaron Franklin is the Willy Wonka of bbq😂

Great job allowing the Girl Scouts out there That’s fantastic kudos

That woman’s eyes!!!! Omg!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was so cool. A visit to Franklin's is still on my bucket list!

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.

Man…u always manage to get great interviews and tours. Loved this!

love this Franklin dude... such a nice, funny guy

Wow. That’s just an incredible behind the scenes. Epic stuff Kevin. And great pacing to the edit too. Greets from Ireland 🇮🇪

Thanks for posting this video!!! What an amazing operation and people!!!

Thanks for sharing. Awesome operation! Cheers!

I was thankful to be able to go to the restaurant. Such a cool experience. I don’t think people realize the vibe of waiting in line there. Johnny Cash music among other great sounds while you are waiting in line.

How cool to get a tour of the whole setup! I had no idea of the limited capacity seating.

Thanks for the tour Aaron! - You're on my bucket list! - Cheers!

Everyone needs to do the Franklin experience...it will change your life!
