When we interviewed Lakewood resident Daniel Vaughn, the blogger behind Fullcustomgospelbarbecue.com, last year, he told us Franklin Barbecue in Austin has the best brisket he’s ever tasted.
Since he first reviewed the place in January 2010, Vaughn has touted the greatness of Franklin far and wide. And it didn’t go unnoticed.
After Vaughn reviewed Franklin, the Dallas Morning News put the restaurant on its front page. A restaurant reviewer in San Francisco named it the best brisket he’d “ever encountered”.
And now Bon Appetit is calling Franklin the best barbecue in America.
Vaughn calls himself a “prophet of smoked meat”. Listen to him. The guy knows what he’s talking about. Vaughn makes his living as an architect, but he is passionate about food. He is not just a barbecue aficionado, he is an all-around foodie. For evidence, check out his most recent blog entry, about meat jams.
And next time you’re searching for good barbecue anywhere, check with the prophet first.
