Franklin Barbecue

It was the Obama fist bump, right? Or maybe the nifty Airstream-in-space expansion? Or pitmaster Aaron Franklin's holding the line (heh) on quality over riches and celebrity? Nah, we know it's the ’cue – the succulent pulled pork, the zippy sausage and ribs, moist turkey, and especially that divine brisket. Franklin was recently on Yahoo Travel's list of 10 restaurants worth the wait, and our discerning readers agree. If Franklin were a fist, you'd bump it again and again.
