About this episode
In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Aaron Franklin, the proprietor of a barbecue spot that’s become so well-known that President Obama visited there back in 2014. Growing up in College Station, Aaron worked at his grandparents’ music shop and it was during his lunches there, when he’d head to their home next door, that he acquired his taste for slow-cooked meals. That’s also when he got into playing the music that led him to move to Austin, where he eventually took his barbecue skills from backyards to a trailer to a restaurant. He also shares about his grandfather’s influence on him, the building of Franklin Barbecue – and the rebuilding of it after a fire – plus his third cookbook, ‘Franklin Smoke,’ and plenty more.
