[matched_content] [Music] [Music] hey guys i’m here in austin texas and there’s so many amazing barbecue spots right here in austin i’m only here for like a day and a half i can’t get through them all but i sure am gonna try the first place i’m going to right here terry black’s barbecue supposed to be one of the greatest barbecue joints in texas and that is the smokehouse this is where the magic happens look at all the smokers they have going on back here they use post oak to smoke everything that’s where it gets that really intense smoky flavor i mean just yeah this is enough what’s uh gets you through winter for sure oh my goodness oh saw briskets 150 briskets a day smoking these babies tommy’s the real hero here this is texas okay this is not like alaska he’s standing here like 100 degrees right now already oh you smell the meat you smell the smoke you smell the spices what’s left well thank god they have briskets definitely going for briskets maybe some chopped beef i really want one of everything but let’s see let’s see what we can do so you walk in it’s kind of like a cafeteria city that’s where all the meat is being distributed so so i really want to be hanging out there this is the size so how do you do it step one wait in line step two select the size choose the meat smile and be happy because you’re in texas eating barbecue that’s exactly what i want to do smile and be happy and be munching on a juicy brisket no we got mac and cheese green beans cream corn mexican rice all the usuals banana pudding i’m definitely gonna try that got my sauce yeah now this is a texas tray how many slices would you want that’s good oh oh is that a new beef rib oh my god this brisket texas is known for brisket and this thing that’s a southern belle oh my gosh this is so pretty it’s borderline raw and this is the fatty part of the brisket and this is the leaner part and look at them believe me just breaking apart from the slight pressure of the fork they recommended this the jalapeno sausage it looks like jalapeno with cheese in the middle beautifully smoked links and then the big kaboski the whole massive beef rib if this doesn’t get you emotional right now you might just be a robot who doesn’t need to eat a plastic fork i’m just prodding it slightly and you can see all that juice ready to burst to the surface like a beefy geyser and that fat just renders perfectly you know when this touches your tongue you know that thing is going to magically dissolve right and that’s where the magic lie that’s my favorite part i mean seriously every single place my fork touches this beef is just breaking apart from the slightest pressure i mean it is a sensitive sensitive beef do not hurt his feelings because this thing’s a little too sensitive and this is my favorite part right here on the back side with all that char and spices reside that and this look at all that nice char and spices just hovering one entire side of this delicious beef ribbon just look at that smoke ring now that’s a ring all the guys should be jealous of i came all the way to texas for some of this i mean while i’m in austin this will be the only thing i’m going to eat this is one of the most glorious smelling ribs all that fat mixed in with the meat smoked to perfection tender to that touch whole thing covered in peppers spices hello texas come here oh i’ve heard the legend of texas barbecue legends and mints are an insult to the real deal did you see that i didn’t need to bite let me show you again all you got to do is give that a meaty kiss show me some love it’s going to love you to head back 10th bowl i’ve had plenty of beef ribs in my life the flavor is so beyond anything i’ve had before oh my god the fatty part this thing needs to be put on a throne and be worshipped because i swear this this was made by the divine like it should be in a museum in case you know like it’s security guards everywhere there’s meat like when you break through this this little layer of spice perfectly crusty slightly charred outer shell and you get to this part right here i’m gonna go ahead and call this the tender zone when you’re in the tinder zone you no longer need to do anything besides just kiss it and this thing falls apart you see all that fat when you take a bite this will just start melting on your tongue creating this magical silky smooth rich sauna-like experience for your taste buds and then when you already think you’re in the most blissful of meat heavens you start tasting the smoke the tenderness of the beef the huge beefy flavor and then you realize this ain’t heaven it’s texas and texas is where meat heaven resides best part right here guys right here that right beside the bone you know how you know when you’re in food heaven when every dish you’ve ever eaten start flashing before your eyes that’s a good sign and oh my god that happens every time you take a bite of this and really when you want to take the bone off the meat a plastic fork is all you need twist and slide that baby out clean like it just took a bath don’t forget i took every last remaining morsel off the bone otherwise you’re just not showing this beef bread enough respect i definitely want a nice fatty piece look at that ring of smoke now i know why so many people when they retire they move to texas we don’t need tea to eat this stuff you really don’t when i’m older and i can’t chew anymore i’m gonna come here the beef flavor of the brisket every bite it’s a perfect combo of fat and meat and smoke and being finished spices and charges it’s like somebody just took a bunch of ingredients and masterpiece right here it’s so tender i think that elvis song should actually be called love me beef brisket everything about this the huge beefy flavor the smoke the fact that i really just got to push the meat to the roof of my mouth and my tongue the whole thing just falls apart i need vegetables i have to dress if you ever experience meat overload which normally i don’t have that problem this is almost like too powerful this is the greatest thing i was told to dip it in some sweet barbecue sauce oh these sausages i feel like they should have a ring of other sausages just forming a posse around it because that that’s a star i mean i thought this was just like a throwaway item you’re in the presence of a giant beef rib and a brisket how good could you be how wrong i was the cheese just explodes when you take a bite you get that great spicy flavor of the jalapeno sweet barbecue sauce like they recommended that it’s a pro chip that’s so cheesy oh man every time i take a bite of this i feel like i’ve washed the entire twilight series all over again i think these three honestly i love the beef rib the best but the sausage i’m in texas so it might be sacrilegious for me to say i might like that better than the brisket that sausage is really really on a whole other level i think it’s time for me to have some fruit hello fluffy cloud oh man magnolias in new york has nothing on this bread pudding yeah real bananas for sure oh that flavor is great it’s really like eating a banana sweet cloud i am absolutely convinced this is what a banana cloud tastes like everything here so good so good i can’t even like i’m beside myself right now how good everything is what a legendary barbecue place i don’t know how i can get better than this i am going to try a place out tomorrow that’s supposed to be better supposed to be the best in texas maybe the best in the country maybe the best barbecue in the world tomorrow getting ready for a four-hour wait i’m going to franklin barbecue already the expectation is it’s it’s it’s up there it’s up there i’ll see you tomorrow about 5 30 5 30 in the morning i gotta go line up for what is apparently the best barbecue in the known universe franklin’s got a chair though i don’t have a jacket but good thing this is texas it’s already like 100 degrees outside when it’s six o’clock in the morning i booked a hotel about a 15-20 minute walk from franklin’s and this this is how i’m going to get there i got kind of lost i roll past franklin across the street i only noticed because i start smelling amazing barbecue and i was like wait a minute it must be near here there it is franklin barbecue so this is the line right now just a few of us here there’s chairs for you down there that people leave i bought mine because i was like i didn’t know there’s gonna be chairs with that but i bought mine so they do let you use the bathroom they’ll give you water and stuff if you’re getting here early you get to stand beneath the awning so that you don’t get sun or rain pelted down yet this is where i’ll be for the next five hours yeah you just showed up dude my lion friend coming i’m gonna i was gonna stone us dude this is our famous wrong rock donut wait this is a famous donut yeah wrong work done but i bought one of these for you i know i know you eat a lot oh my god this guy’s too cool look how big these donuts are look at this face this is a donut whoa oh my god there’s another one dude this thing weighs like 20 pounds we get a good workout lifting this there’s another one here oh man what what is this like the original is the original chocolate good lord man thank you so much i’ll eat this for the next four days that’s crazy yeah it’s not just big in size big on flavor oh god all right so here is some more information about this place that you will probably find really helpful once you get into the line about eight o’clock they come by and take your order and then you’re gonna they’re gonna i guess take your order again once you get in also you really don’t have to wait in line do you know this if you order over three pounds of food which i already did for myself you can get it to go and you could go on their website pre-order it you can’t i couldn’t do it for today i tried but you could do it for like a week from now so you don’t have to wait in line to get the barbecue and i didn’t know this but the beef rib is only on weekends i feel like i missed out a lot today so i would just do a pre-order on a weekend come in grab all your stuff take care eat it somewhere else that would be what i would do next time anyway line has grown all the way to the end of the building over there i still don’t think it’s that bad of a line right now it’s almost time it’s almost 11 o’clock almost five hour wait let’s see how it is finally after five hours of waiting let’s play the barbecue is all mine okay this thing is so juicy it’s forming a beefy greasy pool in the bottom of my tray let me show you what i got i got some ribs sausage ling pulled pork smoked turkey everything they have on the menu today only thing i’m missing is the beef rib which they only serve on weekends so sad about that by the way smoked turkey salt and pepper beautiful lean meat i’m thinking just by touching it right now this could be a little dry i hope not but it could be pulled pork juicy fallen apart as i’m poking it with my fork sausage like looks spicy a lot of chilies herbs in here but this this is what i’m really here for look at these pork ribs perfectly smoked covered in salt and pepper a little bit of sauce in this thing it’s a juicy look at that what i’m really here for and most people are here for in texas is the brisket ribs as much as i love you gotta step aside for the star beyonce has arrived that’s smoke ring that’s not for amateurs and as soon as i touch the meat just slightly prodding it with my fork you see all the juices coming to the surface trying to gush out perfectly crusty on the outside the most tender looking and this is a mix of fatty and lean brisket this is one of the most perfectly smoked briskets i have ever seen this place definitely has a love affair with briskets and that’s why they’re able to put such a nice ring on it and the part in the middle that’s the part i love that’s the river of fat this this is where it’s gonna really melt so nicely in your mouth and look at this this is the lean part right here look at that gorgeous ring of smoke johnny cash write a song about this pulls apart like a tender beefy accordion but this this is where i’m after this is the fatty part you don’t want to put too much pressure on this because you’ll damage it oh see just slight little pressure and it just falls apart that’s how tender this brisket is oh gosh if i squeeze this even slightly i would have to pay for it because i already damaged it i’ve been thinking about this barbecue place since i’ve since i heard about it about five six years ago i’ve been dreaming about coming here all right i’m gonna start from what i think is probably the least tasty to the most tasty start with the turkey breast wow i mean i’m pretty sure turkeys can’t fly but this this bird is soaring hot the smoky flavor on this chicken breast what’s the next level of smoke the ingredient to most of the dish including the brisket it’s just salt and pepper and smoke and to make something like that it works so well this is why i believe the barbecue god does exist and he or she resides in texas i mean to take something that otherwise i’d be like ah this is too dry but to have the flavor compensate so much for the dryness i honestly can’t stop eating that i don’t think i’ve ever uttered the words that trick is gonna dry give me another piece until today moving on to the pork ribs and i’m picking up this piece at the end oh my god salt and pepper barbecue sauce and smoke transform this this rib into something that if this was my last meal on the planet i’d be pretty happy look at all that beautiful color salt pepper a little bit of sauce and this thing look how easily it falls apart it might look dry on camera but trust me it’s anything but this is a juicy rib and it comes off the bone just like that i came for the brisket i fall in love with these ribs every bite i take my mouth is filled with tender melty juicy delicious rib meat that’s just engulfed in smoke and as you chew the smoky flavor gets more and more intense until the meat goes down you’re thrilled and thing you’re just gonna be begging to start that process all over again it’s just it’s too good i mean i knew texas barbecue is gonna be good but this this this is barbecue divinity in the pulled pork that’s no different all right so flavor still ribs hands down amazing sausage it’s not very spicy i thought it’s gonna be really spicy it’s not again peppery extremely smoky i really like the fatty flavor on this this sausage is not as good as the cheddar sausage at a terry black’s that one of the best sausage i’ve ever had this very solid sausage now the reason we drove all the way to texas the brisket trust me you incumbent texas eat ribs i might love those ribs ain’t the reason i’m visiting that franklin guy might actually be the god of barbecue when you’re tasting the different parts of the brisket you’re getting different texture different flavors some parts a little fatty some pour a little more chewy in all parts equally melts in your mouth i can’t believe the only ingredient in this is just salt and pepper and smoke that’s it it almost sounds like magic something they will cook up in hogwarts like here there’s a little bit of salt and pepper and a big massive chunk of beef now make it taste like the most melt your mouth delicious smoky food item known to man and mission accomplished these are the smokiest most tender briskets i’ve ever put in my mouth i love the fatty part that’s my favorite part favorite items 100 pork ribs brisket again they’re not going to try the beef rib i’m sure i’m sure that’s a magical experience because already just taking bite of the ribs and the brisket like i feel like floating right now i know i’m eating barbecue and i’m eating something that’s kind of heavy weighing me down but i feel lighter and let me just try this bourbon banana tart oh that’s a crumply tart get the bourbon banana that’s hard this thing crumbly sweet creamy banana flavor oh yeah this tarp is like the beef brisket of the dessert world oh this is so good guys i have not been disappointed since i came to texas from my first bite of barbecue to this right here not a single disappointing bite and finally to be able to try the legends well a couple of local legends terry black and then franklin it just made me realize one thing god the barbecue back in new york sucked this is really not up to par guys in texas you have it good i mean for sure the barbecue guys are with you all right that was a fun little dessert interlude but uh i gotta get back to the meat of the meal i got a long drive ahead of me and trust me i’m not leaving any of this behind not leaving you behind we bonded i mean i read on the reviews before coming here that people say waiting four hours is worth it honestly waiting in line was pretty funny you gotta talk to your neighbors you all have a similar passion for barbecue that’s why you’re all sitting there and have a nice conversation come here have some of the most amazing biscuits and ribs known to man all in all
