Could be La Barbecue. The pitmaster there used to work at Franklin BBQ. I've eaten at both and they are perceptually the same.
But, Brown's BBQ is my favorite at the moment. Never more than a handful of folks waiting. So good and close to where I live that I gave up smoking briskets at home, although family and friends still make me do it from time to time.
