[@hdctx]

Aaron's book is really a great read. Great stories and a likable guy.

[@jacoblongbrake8230]

Boring your a reaction Channel. Isn't a podcast with interviews, but I admire your effort, and yall seem obsessed with smoking meats. So..... do you!!! I just won't be watching this kind of format on your channel.

[@jacoblongbrake8230]

​@hdctx Maybe...??. But no!

[@tammycenter8757]

It's nice to see y'all having so much fun.

[@timhonigs6859]

Aaron was my intro into Texas BBQ about 6 years ago. Such a fount of knowledge. Add Texan hospitality, and you see why he is a top attraction to the BBQ circuit

[@viciousvictortee1298]

This is why Aaron is Legit. He is hard working but still takes the time to visit with fans and customers alike.

[@donaldparlett7708]

What a privilege to meet the man himself.

[@Ameslan1]

Wow! What an honor! Aaron Franklin is a BBQ Legend! I have seen his BBQ television series on PBS which is a tv station in the United States that has many documentary, how-to shows like cooking, painting, music, arts, and tv programs for children.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

I've met him, although it was years ago. He's a very nice guy for someone that succesful.

[@davidhardy5656]

❤ Howdy To the H Family and the Great Pitmaster Aaron Franklin. Love the BBQ.and our H Family. We Love Y'all in Texas ❤

[@TahschaFinley7061]

Thanks Mr and Mrs H. Very cool interview ❤️🥰🙏

[@jasonwhoever5528]

Good morning y'all. I hope you're well! What a beautiful picture of BBQ ROYALTY from both sides of the pond. ❤🤘😁👑

[@ginao8935]

This was an AWESOME video!! Thanks to Aaron Franklin for making this happen. I’m very jealous H’s! 😂

[@Sinjin.S]

Excellent interview, very good questions, and Mr. Franklin's just easy to talk and listen too! Thank you for taking the time with Mr & Mrs H 👏👍🇺🇸😉

[@dreams2xs]

OMG! I am so happy for you! Talking to the King himself and getting his 3rd book.... I bet baby H was behind you taking notes and rating his comments a 2.

[@WilliardPippenhuffel]

WOW, this is sooooo awesome! Great interview with a true culinary legend!!

[@Lina_unchained]

I LOVE this interview. Please do more interviews you're FANTASTIC at it ❤

[@WestTXRedneck1972]

Watching this right now. Didn't realize that this was the same place that the couple from "The Brits Try" tried some brisket at and waited in line for 3 1/2 hours for their food.

[@kevinprzy4539]

He seems like a regular laid back guy..that's awesome.

[@TheCurtisLogan]

It is awesome that Aaron took time to chat with you love it!

[@gregadkins2483]

I waited on this man and his family at an Austin restaurant about 5 months ago. A truly nice gentleman.

[@szacktones]

Aaron one of the BBQ KINGS here in Austin.

[@bf5175]

We now need to see Mr H play drums.

[@thseed7]

Awesome interview with Aaron. Very much hope Mr. and Mrs. H catch the BBQ bug and end up opening a BBQ Joint of their own in England someday.

[@DUEYZ4U]

Outstanding video, and kudos for the sit down!

[@thecapturban]

Now that is American Love❤! Mr H looks like a kid with his hand in the cookie jar😂

[@GranpaMike]

Seeing you guys spending time with Mr. Franklin made my day. Thank you!

[@erikam8621]

[@intallpines]

[@fredtirbo4411]

Aaron Franklin is a lovely man.

[@minnesotavikings7163]

Aaron Franklin is a pretty cool dude.

[@Fettman89]

9:45 A smoker is like a ship, she deserves a name haha. I call mine The Flavor Forge.

[@philmakris8507]

Another great episode with another great legend 👍

[@jameswhitman8710]

Your ABSOLUTE best video of all time!!

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Wow that's amazing that you met Aaron Franklin ❤😊!!

[@jamesbaur2961]

[@florentalbina9275]

Great interview

[@pangkaji]

Mr. Franklin himself

[@nakitabutcher6691]

Wonderful video!!!

[@allensparks6885]

Wow! What an incredibly entertaining and engaging video. You absolutely let Aaron shine thru as a true American hero--all the while maintaining your own down-to-earth humanity and kindness. If you work up to smokin a brisket, and manage it half as well as you did this interview, it will be an awe-inspiring sight to behold. This kind of content is why I've been a Patreon supporter at the highest level I could sustain, since Elana was a baby in a very shy Nakita's arms!

[@MamaDisco1313]

Baby H is growing thinking her parents are international food critics, and they live in both the UK and the States

[@Instantphojo]

This is so cool!! This video went so quickly. So much good information! Well done y’all!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@philstone3859]

I’m totally smiling through this. My TEXAS soul.

[@TomCat777]

So awesome you guys got to Franklin's beat BBQ. Aaron is a really nice guy also

[@evandracheneisen640]

Aaron looks like Steve-o crossed with Seth Mc Farlane

[@suefantastic4584]

I was thinking the same thing!!! lmao.. love it.. xo

[@creamcheese_pepperjelly5078]

He's giving me Johnny Knoxville vibes 😂

[@joegomez7411]

Wow what an epic interview with hands down a Legend

[@paulgarbarino7263]

Amazing video! Great interview! I could listen to him talk about his craft for hours. Definitely going to pick up one of his books! Keep up the great work. Really enjoy your videos!!!

[@lyleswavel320]

Real nice man, sounds like yall had a great time.

[@scottgraney5275]

Good one H

[@scottgraney5275]

Keep practicing. I will fly to UK for brisket and ribs in 10 years

[@wks4511]

Looking forward to it H's.

[@sshimmy2258]

Legends

[@dalanchan5642]

That was a terrific interview !

[@heretic739]

i know where im going next time im in town.

[@Jimmy07321]

I'm late to the game, but I'm ready for some barbecue talk. Sounds to me like Barbecue Jesus been to the Garden District of New Orleans, with his restaurant Uptown Sports bar. Aaron Franklin knows good food. That was a lot of barbecue knowledge that came from the barbecue heaven, but I wish a rack of ribs, pulled pork, burnt ends, brisket, and all the sides would come down on my kitchen table right now. Please don't forget the potato salad!!!

[@CubaLibre69]

What an AWESOME video. You guys rock!

[@EVMANVSGAS]

Great interview. Real down to earth guy.

[@suefantastic4584]

This is such a lovely video. Haych family is American too!! xo

[@RedonRedGutta923]

As Davey Crockett said “You may all go to hell and I will go to Texas.”😂😂😂😂 glad you got to meet a Texas bbq legend! Great interview!!!!

[@nicebluejay]

such a chill dude

[@dougrockhold723]

Can not express how much I genuinely love this channel and the H family just genuine nice people.

[@bretkaiser7355]

One of the best videos I have seen, seriously. Top notch! Thank you sincerely! I love to smoke. Although I am far from an expert, you do get a LOT better with experience. Keep it up! Much love and thanks. Bret

[@jdcarroll1226]

Fort Worth, Tx is in the house!

[@traveldoc1234]

He sliced and served me my brisket when I was first there! 😊

[@Mrhandfriends]

Cool !!!

[@charlesfuller4363]

Great talk! That was awesome.

[@lindacarroll6896]

Some thoughts: When you are baking it can be disastrous when you break the rules. However, most of the time some of the best of everything is when someone broke the rules/thought outside of the box and went for it. You are currently trying to follow the rules, but eventually you will feel comfortable trying it your way.

[@hardtackbeans9790]

I can remember eating there a few times many moons ago. Even back then it was pricey (at a ridiculously low price compared to now). Even the beans were outstanding.

[@KittCrescendo]

Great interview! Interesting discussion. Now I feel like I need to buy a new book!

[@dougfurr5217]

Been loving your videos since your 3 episode, and enjoy your enthusiasm toward food. With the shear number of migrants that have shaped this Nation, not just politically, ideologically, but culinary as well. We take what is great from other cultures and blend them into our own, and usually throw in a little "Merican" flare. lol Can not wait to see what you guys do with the smoker.I used to work at a BBQ spot here in Virginia for around 5 years. It truly does get into you blood like a "bug".

[@RogueSarge]

This was a fantastic video!

[@patrickmurray9409]

Good food is love,mom an pa nothing else matters. Memories for. May they rip.

[@mariasalinas7053]

I love you got to meet the King of Briskets! We love Franklin’s BBQ. The absolutely best in the WORLD 🌎

[@philstone3859]

You can TEXAS! I’ll give it a two. 😄

[@EJ1578]

Excellent video!

[@alisong826]

6:46 I was the same way with grilling! I learned about a month ago how to use a gas grill and I’ve probably been out grilling 12-15x since then!

[@b.slocumb7763]

Well now it’s settled, you have to call your smoker Aaron!

[@ArmandoDy]

Awesome!!!😮👍

[@richardw2566]

A visitor from Kent Rollins. Your channel is interesting and entertaining. Franklin's smoked brisket is awesome. But if you want good BBQ, its smoked pork, from the Southeast. You can restart the Civil War making comments about North Carolina BBQ. Tidewater, Central, Mountain very different but its all GOOD. Memphis dry rub ribs are to die for. Travel around the USA. BBQ is regional and many places do an excellent job.

[@dougrose7334]

Agreed. Texan that has tried bbq all over the south. Texas and KC does brisket the best hands down...but when it comes to pork, we can't hold a candle to the southeast. Not a fan of the vinegar sauce....hate it in fact....but damn those ribs are good. Especially the sticky sweet ones I tried.

[@mikebarnes7746]

Pretty badassMr. H!

[@boroblueyes]

You guys need to meet up with some of the World Champion BBQ competitors like Myron Mixon.

[@kupski1964]

w.t.g. go Aaron ! intro' national !!!!

[@rogerpultz5597]

Great video 👍👍 Really enjoyed it

[@eudaemxnia2481]

What a cool dude

[@joanneth4919]

Wow. What a great video. Aaron seemed so down to Earth. And loved how much info you were given about BBQing on your smoker. I really loved it.

[@Mrhandfriends]

He was awesome x

[@HalfUnder]

Welcome back to Texas y'all. We gotta get you guys about an hour and a half away from Austin to here in Boerne. I think y'all would love it and we have some amazing little places, including the best breakfast tacos.

[@okiejay]

Pretty cool that y'all got to meet and talk to Aaron Franklin.

[@BigMoore1232]

I'm trying to read his shirt. It's in the same print as my Lorna shore shirt lol

[@wks4511]

You guys are VIP's! I give the video a 2 (10).

[@Mrhandfriends]

lol 😂

[@davidhardy5656]

H Family, England needs a Top BBQ restaurant. You already have a cool name H QUE. Headquarters to great Texas Style BBQ Follow in the path of Aarons style and Elana can take over one day. We ❤ Our H Family.

[@CAPSFANx]

I was there last year and I had the Espresso BBQ Sauce. I wish I could purchase it. It was really good and different. Great video!

[@chuckhunter5184]

My offset smoker is 30 years old that I built. I'm a retired welder in the Houston area.

[@Mrhandfriends]

I bet that is one hell of a smoker

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

​@@Mrhandfriends Mr. H, I'm going to give you a great tip. Try tri tip in your smoker. If your butcher doesn't carry it it, tell him it's bottom sirloin butt. It's triangle shaped. It's a favorite California BBQ cut. It's usually inexpensive.

[@labratamber]

Still think you need to come to Louisiana for seafood.

[@Assassinsolano]

I went last year February did a road trip from Illinois to Iowa to Kansas City and Texas only for BBQ Franklin was my favorite

[@Mrhandfriends]

That sounds like our kind of trip! What other places did you go?

[@pokerpariah]

I honestly believe there’s something or some ingredient he uses on his brisket which he doesn’t disclose on any of his cooking videos. His brisket is miles better than any I have ever tasted. I’ve been to all the major BBQ joints in Texas and while there’s other places with better meats, Franklins brisket is unsurpassed.

[@Mrhandfriends]

I’m sure he has to keep a little something up his sleeve

[@jilliant.4550]

I remember watching a pbs special once, years ago. In that show he introduced the lady in the kitchen. She had huge kettles on the stove. In each one she was boiling onions. The onion water was mixed with vinegar in spray bottles to spray the briskets. No idea if this is still done or not, but I do remember it. I have never seen it on any of his videos or shows since.

[@annajosullivan]

Texas I always have to have fried okra with my barbecue.

[@jonathonfrazier6622]

Rusty Shackleford. Haha.

[@wurlabyscott]

Interview with Aaron, thats better then an interview with the Pres.

[@scoobysnacks]

Well, to be honest that's not a difficult bar to beat now-a-days. Not sure there is anyone I'd like to sit down and talk with less actually.

[@erickjohnston7235]

Fun interview
