And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Met Franklin and ate there a few times when I was living in ATX. And Aggie(Gig 'em) is right, always a long line, but rumor is he does it on purpose for promotion. I prefer Blacks down in Lockhart, TX, usually not a line.
City Market in Luling, too. Man, you see some real beefeaters there, utility workers and roughnecks, eating like there's no tomorrow and eating like cooked meat is a nice option, but only when you have the time.
I read the book from cover to cover. Aaron Franklin wraps his brisket with pink butcher paper. I have tried it and it works well. The book is more a philosophical tome on the preparation of Texas Hill Country style BBQ than a cookbook.
I do need to make pilgrimages to Lockhart and Luling for BBQ. They are between 2 and 3 hours from where I live west of San Antonio.
Always a line at the Franklin BBQ, even though it's in the middle of nowheresville. I hear he wraps his briskets in parchment to finish them.

DeleteLooks much better than breakfast at London Ritz!
