There are several things you just can’t miss when you come to Austin, TX — Barton Springs, the bats, live music and let’s not forget barbecue. If you’ve got the time (and dedication), you’ll probably want to make a stop at Franklin Barbecue, which was famously featured on Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations and named one of the best barbecue joints in the world by Texas Monthly.
With so much hype, people come from all over to see what Franklin Barbecue is about. And if you want a taste of that world-class brisket, you’d better believe you’re going to wait in line.
A long line …
… that often wraps around multiple blocks and starts to build before 10 a.m., even on weekdays.
Unless, that is, you’re someone like Barack Obama. He became the first person to skip the line when he made a visit back in 2014.
How can you score some Franklin Barbecue without waiting in line, you ask? Well, the good news is you won’t have to win the White House.
Earlier this year we took Franklin over after hours to treat our customers to a private dinner at one of America’s favorite spots.
As you can see, it was a pretty epic night. And while Franklin Barbecue isn’t something we promise (although your odds of skipping the line are better if you’re with us), we guarantee that this was neither the first nor last time we’ll show OutboundEngine customers this kind of love.
