Best BBQ in Texas

Howdy. It's 9:40am, the temperature is creeping up to 90 ℉ and I'm in the line for Franklins BBQ. Arguably the best BBQ in Austin, which has to put it in the running for the best BBQ in Texas. The best BBQ...in Texas. Bold claim, and judging by the fact that the people at the front of the line have been here since 6:00am and the people at the back of the line somewhere down the block are waiting on the hope that there's food left when they reach the counter, there must be some truth to the claim that this is indeed, the best BBQ...in Texas. Only time will tell. Hopefully not too much time, it is approaching 90 ℉. Thank goodness for sunscreen and water.
I'll report back after lunch.

Update: Around 1:30 we made it to the counter to order lunch. The wait felt more like a tailgate party than a lunch. Most people had camp chairs and coolers full of cold drinks. They knew what they were in for and came prepared. And while the wait was long you got to know your neighbors so passing the time was pretty easy. Besides, everyone was quick to mention that the food was worth it. That it was the best BBQ in Texas. When I made it through the door the walls were covered in magazine articles proclaiming the unmatched quality of the BBQ. I went with a 1/2 lb of brisket and a 1/2 lb of ribs with a side of beans. I'm happy to report that it is hands down the best BBQ I've ever had. The flavors, the textures, afterwards I felt like I was floating. Amazing, well worth the wait.
