No, I haven’t, because when I google “Arthur Bryant’s BBQ”, this picture comes up, and the amount of sauce is considered sacrilege where I’m from. Y’all need both Jesus and Aaron Franklin.

The best barbecue requires no sauce. There’s a food truck in the Milwaukee area that is fantastic. He uses no sauce and it’s always amazing . I’ve told him he ruined other “BBQ” places for me.

Ha! I’m not from KC, but from Missouri, and I do enjoy Austin BBQ, although I’ve never made the commitment to Franklin’s.
Have you been to Snow’s? Watched a recent show on Netflix about them.

Central Texas style is mostly beef, no sauce, slow smoked, salt/pepper rub, special spritz (usually worcestershire and something else, maybe butter, maybe red wine vinegar, who knows?), and love. BBQ joints around Austin will put the sauce out, but will judge you if you use it.
They say they don’t, but they do.

I saw the same Netflix special about Snow’s and Tootsie. I’ve never been, but it’s more out of princip le; a restaurant isn’t a place that’s open part of one day per week. That’s more of a pop up. I’ve actually wanted to go out there, but they’re closed right now (pandemic).
There’s actually a Texas Monthly-ranked* BBQ joint literally 2 miles away from me who’s pitmaster was formerly Wolfgang Puck’s Corporate Chef. His Q will melt in your mouth, but it’s not quite as smoky as some of the other ranked restaurants.
*Texas Monthly magazine ranks the top BBQ joints every 4 years. It’s the Texas James Beard Award of smoked meats.

Sweet... Are you going to tell me the name of the place?
My SS in waiting for me in Austin, by the way. =)

Are you going to pick the SS up and drive it back?

Thanks!
Still figuring that out. My parents and a brother are down there (and my brother’s buying my M3), so ideally I’d take the car down to him and then come back with the SS, but... many logistics to figure out in the near future.

Pro-Tips:
1. About a week before you go, log onto https://franklinbbq.com/ and see if you can get curbside BBQ. Normally, you have to wait in line for hours just to eat there. The inside is closed, so they are only offering curbside.
or
2. Go eat at TERRY Black’s BBQ on Barton Springs Blvd (important delineation, there’s Black’s BBQ and there’s TERRY Black’s BBQ, and yes there’s a story behind the names) and ask to take a tour of their smoker. The pitmaster on duty will walk you through everything they do. Their brisket and beef rib are some of the best around.
or
3. Drive that pretty Holden Commodore out to Lockhart and taste test the original Central Texas badass joints (Black’s, Smitty’s, and Kreuz). Order just a little bit of brisket, a little bit of sausage, and a little bit of pork rib. I assure you, you’ll have the meat sweats after your third serving.
AND
4. Drive out to The Oasis in your new stick shift whip and enjoy the view of Lake Travis from a cliff high above the water. Just a warning: the food has always been, currently is, and forever will be, absolutely horrible. The view combined with a cold beer or margarita, however, makes the visit worth the crappy grub.
or forget all of that and just do the most awesome thing you’ve ever done in a car in your life, including sex:
5. Drive out to Luckenbach, Texas.

Haha! Wish I had time for all that (and to come tip a beer with you somewhere)! Will be a very quick turn, unfortunately.
