I Waited 5 HOURS for this LEGENDARY TEXAS BBQ! Franklin vs. Terry Black's BBQ in Austin Texas

[@SMcKee-ic5oh]

Choosing between Franklin's and T. Blacks is like trying to pick your favorite child. Both places are BBQ stars, both use the salt/pepper mix, both use about the same cook times and woods and they both have great flavor foundation. The difference is, personal preference. Personally, I'm not big on Franklin's coleslaw because it's vinegar based (but that might be your flavor). Franklin's might be (a little more) on the salty side with the bark, but again, that might be your flavor preference. T.B.'s monster handle bar rib is straight from Godzilla's left side. If you're from out of town, getting a picture of that bone next to your mug is worth the trip itself. Local here and I say if you're in town, try both a few days apart. Then, go about and try the other 1 million eatery's (for dessert) in Austin.

[@georgesheffield1580]

And then you go out to Elgin to the south side market for hot guts ( beef sausage )

[@prestonmack7020]

The beef rib from Terry Black’s is life changing

[@GoldMediaAi]

Yeah you wont use the bathroom for about a year.

[@Don-19276]

Here I am doing 16-18hour fasting for my diet watching daily while this video lmao.

[@Yk3d05bm]

fucking insane control bro! love it all the best.

[@Nalty21]

just to the end of a 48 hour fast, weirdly enough food videos kinda help curb the hunger for me

[@TheAexitus]

masochism

[@kelefane6233]

Texas BBQ is GOAT 🐐 level S tier for a reason.

[@pattiwhite9575]

I love Blacks original location south of Austin. My favorites are the turkey, sausage, pork ribs. I always order a whole smoked chicken for the ride home for dinner.

[@ronsoderstrom7967]

On my bucket list for sure.

[@carlakinstley9255]

Love this review!! Worth watching again ❤

[@Nick-gi6ym]

Great review thank you

[@ananthreddy9777]

Great review style. Keep it up and all the best!

[@dannyhyde7019]

Welcome to Texas

[@teddelguercio2173]

Tried the brisket and beef rib at Terry Black's in Dallas this past weekend. Heavenly. ❤

[@johnc3886]

It helps Mike knows how to yap and describe things to fill up almost 20 minutes; food looks great.

[@sharebear421]

Not really yapping when you’re describing some of the best food on the planet

[@SheelaRusia-yp7qu]

My favorite bbq ❤❤❤❤

[@TEEJAYBOS]

Now that’s a beef rib ❤ add some Mexican rice, creamed corn and some banana pudding

[@judykeown]

Round Rock Donuts are my all time favorite donut!

[@dennisboulais7905]

When you were eating that beef rib, you looked like you were going to cry!

[@robhake]

Both look great, but I think I would prefer the Terry Black's BBQ.

[@alexkoronec4326]

Yes, I rather go to Terry's

[@Charles53412]

Franklin's is my Favorite BBQ other than my own!

[@joeltagle2331]

I was super upset when we got Franklins.. but not at Franklins..we came from Arizona, ordered a month before… and I was wayyyyyy to hungover to enjoy it

[@neomage2021]

I love Terry Black's. Go every time I'm in Austin

[@viciousvictortee1298]

I Made Smoked Chicken thighs yesterday! I'm making baby back ribs TODAY!

[@betaomega04]

I'm glad that you were able to enjoy our culture!

[@KiranWaqar-r5h]

It's looking delicious

[@johnnymossville]

That beef rib was just so over the top beautiful, Geez.

[@filibertobarrera3839]

I'm here seeing this vidoe eating beans with cactus.😢

[@John316610]

I'm hungry can't afford. Beef. 😢

[@vchild]

Yes please❤

[@AcidGlow]

What a feast 😮

[@sarfarzali401]

Excellent

[@igniteblu]

Can you do a review on Terry Black's in Lockhart, Barbs B Q in Lockhart, and the 2 BBQ spots in Luling TX. For me Barbs b q has the best ribs with a lemon zest

[@Kain9407]

Barbs has a real shot at being #1 next time. It was amazing. Best place I went on a 4 day tour over the 4th of July weekend.

[@jtsra7]

​@kain9407 did you try that green spaghetti?

[@Kain9407]

@@jtsra7 Yes. It's great.

[@turrrmeric]

When you held that brisket on your fork, I was in crazy heavy suspense

[@WajahataliKhan-l2w]

Great 😃👍

[@JMan-Dawg]

Mike, love your video's - only problem is they leave starving.

[@chelleroberson3222]

That char is called bark

[@TaqiShah-q6p]

Nice video ❤❤

[@SheelaRusia-yp7qu]

Awesome ❤❤❤

[@lobke666]

That's a big Rib 🥴 I'm jealous 😅 all I eat today is bread topt with cheese and chocolate spread . Texas is Meat heaven, wishing I was there now .

[@Zacharysharkhazard]

cheese and chocolate??? huh.

[@lobke666]

@@Zacharysharkhazard on two different slice of bread lol not together on one slice of bread 😂

[@Casey_Lane]

You should go to a Pinkerton's location and eat his ribs. They're the best in Texas in my opinion.

[@Kain9407]

Franklin is worth the wait. Best brisket in TX. Not the best overall bbq, the sides are very lackluster. Interstellar was the best overall experience in Austin.

[@frederickwilgram2051]

Dude, I have never heard so many words spoken for a piece of meat. Congrats

[@jonasgeez2140]

That's unfortunate sir 😂

[@InfamousBot_Gaming]

😂

[@ky42]

Mega Droooool!!!!!🤤😋

[@ummehabiba4780]

Nice velog ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@Zikriakhan-t6t]

Great ❤❤❤

[@georgesheffield1580]

Arron Franklin as 2 books on how he cooks ,many BBQ places in the world follow his descriptions . They are simple to follow and work .

[@SheelaRusia-yp7qu]

Nice 🎉

[@oddjobtriumph1635]

I'm sitting here in the U.K ..dribbling onto my Keyboard ....🤤

[@nicknamean]

When I moved to Austin 8 years ago I went to every top rated bbq spot every weekend…now I eat brisket maybe twice a year lol

[@چوہدریصدامحسینبھٹی]

Very nice ❤

[@xxkasperxx]

I literally believe a trip to texas to mainly eat bbq is worth it...this place is ridiculous good...we plan on going back to the DFW area next for Goldees and a few other spots

[@1noduncle]

The big kebowski... The dude approves???

[@JJ-zg1hh]

Just eat the thing already!

[@KHMERCOOKING]

Good Day my friend perfect video please make more video like this I'm waiting for new one SEE YOU.

[@Ashalabbas949]

Good video❤

[@gantz0949]

What a great idea top 50 foods and he would know

[@LIIIIIFE]

DOPE TO SEE MIKE CREATE A "CULT" LIKE FOLLOWING.

[@SyedAmeerAbbas-hw3ox]

Nice ❤❤❤

[@junaidnoohani5965]

Nice 👍

[@334honda]

And when you go to the register, they tell you $150 for the tray cost.

[@Kain9407]

Bbq is expensive. Even bad bbq if it's smoked with wood on an offset still costs a lot to make.

[@georgesheffield1580]

Or you can go to NYC and spend $150 for a burger or a slice of pizza . I chose Austin

[@keishawhite7445]

I gladly pay because Texas bbq is the absolute best!

[@carolynsimpson2580]

HEY MIKE LOVE VIDEOS BUT WOULD NOT WAIT 5 HOURS IN LINE GLAD YOU ENJOYED BUT LOTS OF OTHER PLACES TO ENJOY BAR B Q.

[@JayNye1]

Terry Blacks is amazing. I live by Austin. I like Franklin’s as well. However, Terry’s is all around better. Their ribs and sides beat the brakes off Franklins.

[@SuperEndersgame]

hey mike, remember those HIT workouts at chelsea piers?

[@MuqadusZahra-g5u]

Good 😊😊

[@CassandraMcewen]

So awesome

[@manobilli-db9ry]

Yummy 😋

[@WheelzOH]

if you ever come to nz try Black Betty bbq

[@stephenbond3961]

I would love to follow around and get some of the food!

[@ripgfa]

Goldie’s in ft worth is the best right now

[@gpink5098]

"Spices." Yes. Salt and pepper. That's it. Central Texas BBQ is salt and pepper.

[@DehydratedNurse]

I would be happy happy!

[@anas-tl5jb]

Amazing

[@CryptoSurfer]

Why didn’t you go to Lockhart?

[@georgesheffield1580]

Or Elgin ,or ,or ,or ....

[@SixStryng]

Terry Blacks is amazing. Went last year. Life changing.

[@danielschear556]

One of the few good things left in Austin.

[@TheAexitus]

Smile and be be happy you're in texas eating bbq 😂😂😂

[@quinnluong114]

I was shocked too. The sausage is better than the brisket

[@RichDXtreme247]

Me: *Hears that Franklin’s BBQ is (possibly) the best BBQ in the world* Also Me: *Hears that GOLDEE’S BBQ is the best in world* “WHICH IS IT THEN? Or is just preference at this point?”

[@SMcKee-ic5oh]

It's all in how close you live to each. They are about 3 hours (190 miles) away from each other, so, If you're in Austin, its Franklin or T. Blacks. If you're in Ft. Worth, you're pulling for Goldee's. Both are hella good though.

[@aegontargaryen573]

15:32 AYO WTF!?

[@edwinlink3115]

That meat looks so good

[@MashalKhan-h9d]

❤❤❤❤

[@MrJoeandJenn]

I'm not saying this has to be number 1, but it should at least be top 5.

[@NoOneIsGoingToSaveYou]

Meat is all we need

[@mirza78682]

[@charlesedge2429]

Mike Chen lives in Texas now. It is now his culture. Manly men eat this much meat. I can't get that around here. I wished I could.
