I enjoyed the video and while I haven't eaten at some, I have at others you mentioned Like Franklin's. But you guys should have gotten away from the Austin area and out into the small towns and experienced some awesome BBQ here in Texas.
Next time get off of the beaten trail and blaze your own way, you'll find some BBQ that rivals Aaron Franklin's in small town Texas, I promise.

I'm from Southern CA originally, but lived in Texas for about 18 months back in '02 to '03. It was before the new school of BBQ really kicked off, and even still - it was like a food I never knew existed and could not get enough of. California uses different wood to smoke meat with but uses similar smoking techniques. The holy trinity of wood there in CA is Avocado, Almond, and Plum.

Beautiful meat if I may say it seems very tender and yummy but I am impressed by the quantity served in the plates! In my country it would be one piece only for a person! Thank you for your interesting videos which make me dream of travels. Hello from Paris, France

Truth's BBQ is one of our favs. We like their tatertot casserole, but next time we go, we'll have to try their Brussel sprout casserole. Also in Houston, we like Blood Brothers BBQ - they put an Asian twist to their menu. In College Station, Tx, we like 1775 BBQ.

Several years ago my expectations for Franklin was off the charts and amazingly exceeded. Never forget the first visit. So much great BBQ in Texas it comes down to individual taste profile. For an example I wasn't impressed with Salt Lick. To me just ok.

Here in Texas you will find BBQ Cookoffs for major Rodeo events across Texas. You have to be really good to compete. Most entry fees are around $5, 000. You will compete with the Best of the Best. It is Serious Competition! I can still smell the smoke!

Thank you for doing this. We are going to Texas next year for the eclipse and I was wondering where to go because I know there are so many. We live in Georgia and have a lot of BBQ here, but I know Texas is supposed to be on a complete other level.

As an avid 'Q fan, this was very enjoyable to watch and listen to. What a blessing to be able to share this experience with your dad. I agree, hard to pick a favorite. But definitely feel you don't have to wait for hours on line for great bbq.

My wife and I went to Texas for a short vacation a few months ago. We went to Pinkerton's and Goldee's.
Goldee's is absolutely amazing food! Pinkerton's was good but, we both thought it was too salty.
Goldee's #1 baby

An important question to answer is, where do these Texas bbq spots stack up vs the rest of the USA bbq spots? Possible idea for a future video. Not to argue the question but to see it through yalls lens.

This is wholesome. Enjoy the time with your dad. Lost mine 5 years ago. We would go try places to eat all the time. I'd love to just have one more meal with him.

I've lived in Texas for all of my 62+ years. You've just tried the tip of the iceberg. There's some roadside stuff in west Texas that will change your life.

I cant take these ratings serious when Hard Eight BBQ isnt even on the list. They have the best BBQ In Texas and probably the most famous nationwide.

The absolute BEST BBQ joint in Texas is the one you're sitting in! Hard to find a truly bad one. They may be out there, but they are few and far between.

Salt Lick outside Driftwood not Dripping Springs. Yes, you can get there from Dripping Springs in about 15 minutes but locals say Driftwood.

I had to get to 4 minutes for you to mention Truth in Houston and then I could safely dismiss this review.
