Franklin Barbecue Aims to Expand With Real Smokehouse

A lucky neighbor who lives near Franklin Barbecue sent a tweet to Daniel Vaughn, TXMO's Barbecue editor, about a rezoning letter he received suggesting a possible Franklin expansion. Eater Austin reached out to pitmaster extraordinaire Aaron Franklin, who confirmed that Franklin Barbecue has filed plans with the city of Austin, with the hopes of adding a real smokehouse. They can't get more specific just yet, as they are still waiting to hear what the city will allow, but Franklin is excited about one thing for sure. "Can't wait to have a roof," he told Eater via e-mail. You deserve one, Aaron, you deserve one.
