What I ordered: brisket slice, The Tipsy Texan sandwich
My take: the brisket has a delectable, peppery and tangy bark that easily fell off my (plastic) fork it was so tender / The Tipsy Texan is the best barbecue sandwich I've ever enjoyed, with chopped beef, sausage, coleslaw, pickles and onions, perched precariously high on a sandwich bun (definitely not for the faint of appetites...)
The place: small but iconic shop, you can't miss it with the ubiquitous wrap-around line, there's limited seating inside and outside on the small side porch patio. I've been to Franklin's a half dozen times and often am greeted by the pitmaster himself, who sometimes offers tasty samples for those that waited at the front of the busy line
Pro Tips: expect a several hours long wait early Saturday mornings, or take your chances and slide in around 1:30 or 2 pm on a weekday (at the very least they will likely have the Tipsy Texan even if the brisket/ribs/turkey runs out), if they have the turkey don't pass up adding it to your plate...it's smoked and basted with its own juices
