Aaron Franklin, John Mueller Smoke TxMo Cover

Check out Austin barbecue men-of-honor Aaron Franklin and John Mueller on the cover of February's Texas Monthly issue, headlined "The Greatest BBQ Story Ever Told." Franklin looks to have been promoted from "novice" to "master," and Mueller's moved from "master" to "comeback," question mark.

Considering Mueller's early sell-outs at his new location in South Austin, we don't reckon there's much of a question mark needed--Mueller's meaty hiatus after the closing of his Manor Road barbecue joint in 2006 is over.
