I travel to Austin somewhat frequently on business. Have searched high and low for some of the best BBQ, and found it. I believe that Black's, LaBarbeque and Franklin's are generally considered to be top three, with Franklin's considered to be the best. I have been to all three (LaBarbeque twice), and they are all amazing. The brisket, as Shaun demonstrates, is another level.

That said, I found LaBarbeque to be the best of the three. They are all amazing, but the rub, bark and juiciness in the LaBarbeque brisket is hard to describe. They put a whole brisket down on a cutting board and it was so juicy that it wiggled like a Jellyfish!

Anyway, if you are ever in Austin, make it a point to stop into Franklin's or Labarbeque. It is a culinary experience that will change your expectations for brisket forever!
