6 Steps to Make a 3 Hour Wait for BBQ Worth It

What "order everything looks like"
"You waited in line for 3.5 hours to get barbecue?!" Yes. "Was it worth it?" is obviously the most common follow up question to my tales of a recent trip to Austin, Texas. Yes it was, I reply, if you follow these six steps:

1. Get on a plane and go to Austin, Texas.
2. Stock up on non-food tailgating necessities (beer, water, sunblock, friends, etc.)
3. Arrive at Franklin Barbecue no later than 8:00 a.m.
4. Make new friends with other people in line.
5. Order everything on the menu once you get in.
6. Eat as much as you possibly can.

There you have it. Six simple steps to maximize your excursion to Franklin Barbecue. In truth, is anything really worth that wait? I don't know, but when you combine the best barbecue I've ever had, a friendly atmosphere and fun people in line, the result is a truly memorable food experience. It's like a Penn State tailgate for barbecue.
