How lucky to lose your virginity at a bbq joint, then eating bbq right after
1. Ironworks – TOURIST well below avg,. NO locals ever eat there. Dude was tight. Convention Center SAVED them Outof towners on expense reports. Enough said.
2. LA BBQ – Excellent because their first pitmaster worked for Frnaklin and founder if rom the iconic BBQ family Mueller.
3. House Park – 100% crap. Perfect location and very little business because it simply isnt any good at all .They even offered BOGO free brisket at 1/3 the price of every other place in town and still very few customers.
I have eaten at Iron Works many times. It's okay, but far from my favorite.
jirby at 3:40 !! 👀
I ain't waiting in line 3-4 hrs for any bbq or food anywhere ( including franklin's) unless I'm starving & it is the only place to get food, seriously don't care how good folks say it tastes, I'd eat dirt first
no bbq ever is worth a 4 hour wait…ever…
BBQ looks delicious, I like ribs with texture also, similar to I like my pasta al dente
bad edition
1:54 my favourite part of the episode
He described a burnt end incorrectly. A burnt end comes from the point of the brisket. Usually the first 1" slice is taken. Which is then cubed into 1" squares.
When I want BBQ in Austin, I stop by IronWorks!
Remember moving on film CHEF kwkwkwkwk
Texas perfected BBQ and then decided to serve mac and cheese with it. Imagine that 😅
we wouldn't mind to try your barbecue in Prescott valley from your YouTube channel colt bqq Prescott valley try Popeyes in Prescott valley
Burnt ends are from the POINT end, not the flat!!! 🙁
How can i trust your Opinion if you dont even know what your eating!!!
The best Brisket in Austin? Nah, not really…
Did this man just refer to virginity in food terms??, must have been a banging bbq (2:00)
Now why did someone name their kid Dylan Thomas lol?
I'm from Texas and i've NEVER been to a BBQ place that didn't have sides.
1:59 damn man I don't know about you but I think them ribs been left on abit long 🤣
Thanks a million for relieving me of the 5 hr. wait, will also check out the others posted.
Eeeh, no Salt Lick?
Cajun Chef Hot Sauce…??? WTF… ??? NOT TEXAS PETE'S…???
You're an IDIOT DUDE…! Burnt Ends ARE NOT made from the Flat. BURNT ENDS ARE MADE FROM THE POINT…!! Signed a guy in KANSAS CITY…! The home of REAL KANSAS CITY BBQ…!
If you don’t have to wait for it ain’t the best
There's always Louie Mueller's BBQ also in Austin…! And No Line…!
Okay, time to buy a thesaurus, Nick. If you use the word "unctious" one more time, our heads are gonna EXPLODE! And besides- you sound like a utterly pretentious little WEENIE every time you say it. Just freaking STOP.
Franklins ain’t that good lol
