The links & turkey were so-so. The brisket & pork spareribs were out of this world delicious. The pulled pork was surprisingly good. I didn't expect as many pork items being in Texas.
I have family in Texas now, so I'm looking forward to a trip sometime. I won't mind spending a morning waiting in line at Franklin's. Beef is my favorite kind of barbecue --- pork ribs are easier to find here in Chicago, in KC, and other places --- so the next time I get to Texas I am going to eat beef ribs and brisket every chance I get.
