Yes! I made it to the franklin experience right before the shutdown phew...or maybe better said wah-wah-waaah...
I dunno , chatting it up and boozing it with the fellow wait line neighbors was actually a pretty awesome experience, one which sadly I know I'm not about to repeat. The end result is actually not worth waking up all butt early at ass crack of dawn when you're not even getting some ass for it, are you kidding me.. My girl was like you waited four hours for this? Guess what I'm saying is this q made me feel like a confused ass. Great experience, not so great q.

Ordered various pounds each of the trinity and a tipsy Texan. Everything was so freakin moist it was wet. Real tender and buttery but wetter than a Popsicle in a habaneros coochie wet. Could have worked had it left flavor, but it's was like the smoke and flavors all got washed out. The one thing that retained flavor was the briskets burnt end which was actually darn good, all 1 cubic inch of it...really?

Then again the meats are still way better than the bbq sauce, that thing was like a funny mix of a packet of ketchup, a spoon of molasses and like three cups of vinegar, now what the in the hell was that?? I didn't get it, I didn't get how nerd q out of that big ass pit don't work and I sure don't get any of these reviews, I can't give it like ten stars and say it's the best thing ever no way, not after having the actual best Texas bbq ala straight out of Compton the o.g. Bludso's, now that's freakin bbq. I wanted to throw out a warning to all of the people trying to pre-order to Franklin. I have tried to order three times at the minute that preorders were first being taken, and been turned down every single time. This has been over the last few months. With them using an antiquated e-mail system, you are unlikely to get food on weekends accepted unless you cheat a little. My last attempt was at 12:02 am (when it opened at 12am on 7/15 for August orders) for orders over 4 diff
erent optional dates. I was declined because they already received too many orders for ALL of those dates. No offers of weekday orders, or offers of dates in the more distant future. Nothing but a "oh I'm sorry, we are super busy".

Unless you cheat a bit with an e-mail bot or a script, it doesn't seem likely that you will get in. Considering this was my third attempt, I'm guessing someone else has figured that out already and beats all of the normal folks trying to get in.

Note that on the preorder page of their site they claim that they will be moving away from an e-mail order system soon. I sure hope so, because the constant rejection letters minutes after the deadline just makes me feel like something fishy is going on.
