Watch as Franklin Barbecue honors longtime customer for 100th visit Ivan Vires is honored during his 100th time waiting in line at Franklin Barbecue on Saturday Jan. 21, 2023 in Austin. If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times: Austin is a BBQ heavyweight. The Texas capitol frequently makes top barbecue lists ( some of which I've written about myself ), and a recent roundup of best barbecue cities in the nation put Austin in first place. Clever's Real Estate Witch ranked 50 best barbecue cities based on the metrics of barbecue restaurants per capita, regional price for a pound of barbecue meat, barbecue restaurants per square mile and more.
