Got a dad who loves grillin’ and chillin’? Give him the gift of both this Father’s Day (June 15) with a field trip to Austin’s historic East Side. Stake out a spot in line at Franklin Barbecue (900 E. 11th) and prepare to feast on the best brisket in town – if not the universe. Doors open at 11 a.m. and goods sell out fast.
Is dear old dad further afield? Share the mouth-watering flavors of ATX via Franklin Barbecue: A Meat-Smoking Manifesto, every backyard pit master’s must-have resource.
Even better, ship a whole brisket? Just sayin’ …
Swoon-worthy options indeed.
