Had my first meal at Franklin fifteen years ago. The barbecue we had today was just as great as it was back then. Remarkable consistency from a Texas institution.
Memory lane is how I cope with this loss. Talked to Jim a couple months ago, just a brief catch up. Didn’t know it would be the last one.
Y'all. @HoustonFed found a video that is a great example of Jim Buchanan being Jim Buchanan.

Yes, @BBQBryan and I went to Charleston in part to eat Chinese BBQ. It did not disappoint.
And today’s the day we do our best Steve Kornacki impression.
Live view of @HoustonFed and I tonight;
So here's the deal, these people make the best brisket but this joint has almost as good brisket but better sides.
This joint innovates dishes but that joint infuses non traditional flavors into Texas BBQ
May 27, 2017: @BBQBryan and I recorded the first episode of Tales discussing the new Texas Monthly Top 50 list as we drove to the newly named no. 1 spot, Snow’s.
May 27, 2025: @BBQBryan and I host a 4 hour live show from a TV studio discussing the new Texas Monthly Top 50 list.
8 years to the day that we recorded the first episode of something people had never heard of, a BBQ podcast, we will be broadcasting live in studio the day the next Texas Monthly Top 50 list is released. What a goofy amazing ride this all has been. Texas BBQ Forever!
This is going to be a lot of fun!
In addition to the sweepstakes, stay tuned for details on how to view our live stream on May 27 from a studio with on-air and in person guests!

Almost poetic that the health department makes Houston barbecue joints work through outrageous codes and permitting to get open but allowed Turkey Leg Hut to operate willy nilly only to have one of its owners try to intentionally burn the place down.

Not often I brag about this show we’ve done for 8 years, but this episode might be in my top 5 favorite ones we’ve done. Some honest reflection from one of the best in the business about the toll it has taken to produce world class barbecue for a decade.
Success doesn't come without a cost. On a special episode listen to Leonard Botello reflect back on the growth of @truth_bbq
