We are the champions! Of the line at the reopening celebration for the famous Franklin Barbecue in Austin, Texas. Yoni and Stover, the hosts of the Best BBQ podcast, got their BBQ butts up at 3 a.m. to wait by the door for the much-anticipated reopening of Franklin BBQ which sadly saw its smokeroom destroyed this summer by a fire.

Aaron Franklin's great BBQ place is open now and the Meat Men wanted to be there to share some love from the BBQ family. In this episode, Yoni and Stover listen to their numerous appearances on the Texas TV news, which helpfully broadcast our smoked meat messages to morning news viewers, who also got an eyeful of our Meat Man T-shirts.

Speaking of BBQ shirts, in this episode we give out another Ray's BBQ (a friend of the show from the Los Angeles BBQ scene) to a fan of Best BBQ. Make sure to subscribe to us on Instagram (@bestbarbecue) and on your podcast app to make sure to catch our contests and bonus episodes. What do you want for Best BBQ merchandise? We will be making official Meat Man merch in early 2018 and we want to get our fans the shirts, koozies and other things they want. Send us a note to [email protected].

Shoutout to the Meat and Metal NO podcast for the international BBQ love. Keep the smoke rolling and turn the metal up loud.
