Big shoutout to the video dudes that were also there for 24 hours and edited that much footage down to 12 minutes
Leland Clemmons they probably switched camera guys etc ^^
Big shoutout to the video dudes that were there for a cumulative 24 hours and edited that much footage down to 12 minutes
Director here. @dinimuatter We didn't. We had myself running one camera, a shooter/producer running another, one more producer to keep everything in line and on time, and sound guy. All of us were on our feet for 24hrs as well. The editor is the real hero tho... We shot something like 11hrs of footage per camera
I don't really believe you NielsBohrd
i'd say worth it after eating there.. i sure hope you saved some for the editor ;D haha poor guy all that footage and nothing to eat :O
This guy has a better attitude after 24 hours than most of my coworkers after 2 hours.
of course he does when you are making a professional video for youtube
He's being filmed the entire time and also fucking edits it how he wants. He could have got shitty and did nothing plenty of times.
Im not saying he doesnt have a great attitude, im just saying this is a show that's been filmed.
MrStaton352 that is because he sees it as a experience your co workers see it as a job
Ben Parker .
Because he isn't poor
"We just... converse." Man that guy is high as hell and he's gonna keep smoking for 5 hours.
finna be more smoked than the meat itself
Get the munchies and grub out
🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻
When I lived in Austin I had a roomate that worked at Frankin BBQ.He would bring home leftovers all the time,it was awesome!
Would he bring the bbq meat? This video makes it out they sell out alot of the time? Must of been good tho
@@adamgordon3163 Yeah, I always hear that they sell out but he had a hook-up I guess.
I can validate. He is awesome
@@adamgordon3163 If you've ever worked in a restaurant you know that no place ever actually completely sells out of product. There are always leftovers, whether it's customer screw ups, waitstaff screw ups or just too much left over, and can't serve the next day. Also if you become friends with the cooks / chefs you will never go hungry!
lucky
I stood in line for 3 hours for this stuff. I was ready to call it overrated, not worth the time. But, no, it totally is. The best brisket I've ever had and I can't imagine how anyone can make it any better. It actually ruined BBQ for me for about a year because I compared my local stuff to Franklin BBQ in my head and everything became disappointing.
I know it sounds insane to try and get anything close but start smoking yourself. You get to experiment and slowly become amazing. I have been for a decade and know I come close to some of our top places here (STL). Mostly because you get to tweak your recipes to perfectly match your taste.
Franklin's recipe is simple. Quality post-oak, salt & pepper, off-set smokers, and patience. If you have never been here before, I highly recommend it. They may not have the best ribs or turkey in the world, but the brisket is by far the best brisket you will ever eat which is the staple for any good Texas BBQ.
TheChamp531 do you have some recipe about it sir? May I know the procedures really looks yummy, they spray an apple cider what the purpose?
from what I understand, this isn't even the best BBQ in the world; it's the best restaurant BBQ in the world. I think big competition brisket is even better. Obviously not gonna be trying that for myself anytime soon so this is as good as it gets.
Lance Dre Search Franklins BBQ - Brisket he has a PBS show and shows everyone how to do it
If I was robbing this place I would take the briskets and ribs, not the money.
Doge Viper I would take the expresso machine.
Doge Viper I would take the ribs and adopt them.
and ill take the sauce lol
No you take the money then you come back and get some brisket and ribs
Makes sense, you would make more money reselling it by the pound.
Love how humble the show is. The host doesn't have to pretend to master something in 24 hours.
the owner looks like a cross between steve-o and johnny knoxville XD
Nah this guy is straight up seth macfarlane
I was gonna say he looks more like Michael Jordan.
Bahahahaha
That dude who works by himself has the fucking life. I used to be a night shift baker, I would work by myself 3/6 days a week, never having to see anyone or deal with anyone, getting work done, enjoying yourself; that would be bitchin
Thurnis Haley that's my job now, n I love it ! Well, 3:30-noon is my shift, but during those early hours I totally agree....so peaceful and perfect for getting a lot of work done without people in the way :P
i love that noone bothers me thinking about trying to make a brisket like this
That shits gotta get old after a while though. Making the same things every day, same process for years and years on end? That would be mentally numbing to me.
Trey Warnock Well that's all jobs. I came to conclusion all jobs suck.
Trey Warnock
It's not when you do it cuz you love it!
You know you're doing something right when you have people coming in at 4 am and waiting 6 hours just to be able to get their order in for some BBQ
2:50 my man was high as a kite
From australia
holds up a beer
"Good times".
The way of life
Belgian beer (Stella)
Its worth watching because Andrew is such a lovable guy. Great sense of humour, good personality, and a hard worker. You better not lose him Bon Appetit
I can't believe there are only 4 of these episodes - they've gotten tons of views, Bon Appetit needs to make more! Andrew is awesome.
"which is better, franklins brisket or your fingers" LMAO
Baby: Proceeds to nibble her finger! So cute.
He's bringing in 22k a day just in brisket.....damn
KARBONFIB dont forget about the costs
Jack Burton That would ruin the atmosphere
whatever the costs are if he is bringing in 22k a day he is keeping a good chunk of it!
My father runs his own business, and I remember when I was younger I once saw some of the crazy numbers he was getting paid and was absolutely amazed. Then he told me that most of that money goes into his business costs.....
dude i know!I happen to own multiple businesses and the costs and if you see my revenues you will think i am a multimillionare but the costs are always big!But when you make 22k a day in the food industry you make good money at the end of the month
There would be no line if Matt Stonie was the first guy in the queue.
agree
Lol i can imagine "This is Franklins barbecue challenge! i take 20 pounds of every meat"
Lmao
I love u kenny
😂
"two pounds of bwiskeeeet, two pounds of wwibbsss."
Virgin fo lyfe
tilts head like it's a workout lol
Incel fo lyfe
You guys are the reason schools get shot up. Just because he has acne and isn't the coolest, best looking guy you're going to throw shade at him. I hope your kids are like you, and they bully a kid like this, and they get killed in a school shooting. Shame on you.
@@mickdavis2385 I had probably the worst acne ever until I was 26 brah. It's because it's of how socially awkward he is. If you want to survive you need to interact with people. So is that really why school are shot up? Because HE exists or because normal people exist?
The guy who said "we just,,, converse" was more smoked than the meat itself he is high af lol
This whole series is just a resume on andrews work ethic
This guy is an animal. I appreciate his tenasity
Damn i thought working 16hrs, 8 loading/unloading trucks and 8 delivering packages was tough, this is hard work man
Pancho Panochas I used to do that man... that's hard work and not nearly as fun as cooking bbq(o:
Pancho Panochas I love your profile pic😂
I used to help unload trucks for just an hour a day. Your job is harder.
damn I hated moving furniture for 8 hours HEAVY furniture.
imagine sacrificing your morning so you can get some brisket for the gang
Real homie
The thing that surprised me was how relatively young the crew is for such an iconic restaurant. Not only that but how pleasant and passionate they all are. I love passion borne of a good heart and the crew really seems to have nailed it. Great job, Andrew and Franklins!
That was a great video. Put the time in man. Didn't puss out. Wonder if Aaron sent you home with some free brisket for being such a sport?
24hrs at Franklin BBQ?...I would've been eating and working every minute of my time in!
then there would be nothing to sell anymore cx
always gotta be a troll
prankster671
Your Gunna eat raw meat? You know smoking takes a while right.
Dude they sell out everyday, youd be eating dry rub and sauce 🤣🤣🤣
I love how he had absolutely been beaten down after 24hrs straight and still talked the nicest things about the working place. What a man!
I'm so sorry but I can't help not to comment this
5:46 I can't stop laughing at his voice
Samantha Crawford “pEoPLe fROm noRtH CArolINa”
Ricardo Berumen - He was actually from Australia
His voice sounds like a "El gallo Claudio"
don't ask me why but I get the vibe this guy really knows his way around a piano accordion
3:20 "Good times"
Straya as.
This was a cool video!
I love your "working 24 hour" videos.
Such a great attitude. :)
" two pounths of brithket.. two pounths of ribths "
hahahahah sucha tool
2:50 high as a kite 4 hours later. Amazing.
Andrew has a beautiful attitude and a gorgeous smile.
The Aussie has a can rolling lmao
Andrew, I love seeing your passion, it really shows, and I thank you for your content. Food that brings every age colour and creed together id truly magical
i cant stop rewatching these. this has to be a series with a channel of its own
oh, this is the restaurant from the movie Chef
really?
Ohh where they stopped for brisket for their menu! Nice
MrJesusdoesntsave yessssss
yes
yeah when they stopped and take the meat :)
I've had it and it was honestly worth the wait, one of the best eating experiences of my life.
6:16 the baby is adorable awww
WHAT MAKES GREAT BBQ IS A LOT OF PATIENCE & LOVE
LOVE THE SHOW GREAT JOB
76 Hours straight nah Fam thats not possible
cosworth itsworth Cocaine is a hell of a drug
if you keep bumping speed it's pretty doable
cosworth itsworth its more than possible. 24hr ops would routinely top that when I was in. Insomnia has now taken its place.
Connor AC i understand but is it healthy tho?
James Epperson thats just crazy major respect
Respect! Franklin BBQ is on my bucket list.
Pitmaster Andy, and his wife Chelsey were my neighbors for a couple years. Later half was when this was recorded.
Lucky for us we never had to wait in line for bbq because of that.
Aside from that, your comment about the people who work at Franklin’s couldn’t be more true. They were great neighbors and good friends.
Great video. 🍻
He single-handedly thwarted a robbery attempt with potato salad!!! Well played sir, well played.
Fascinating to see Andrew's dedication throughout each 24 hour experience. I also wonder though who films and edits these videos?
Andy was about to cry to see how dedicated Andrew was and how he got another worker with him. Bonded in that short two hours.
this place has such a cool vibe. like a giant family reunion
2:50 that guy definitely High~
I've lived in Austin Texas my whole life and I still haven't gone yet but that pitmaster just looks like a great awesome guy
Been here for 13 years and still not eaten at Franklin, but I can confirm that Aaron Franklin is just a down-to-Earth, awesome dude. He was my customer at a local electronics supply store when I was still working retail. Super nice and jovial and just a joy to help. Really appreciated that he was doing the supply runs himself and not just paying people to act as gophers.
This is so cool! There’s so much love and effort that goes into good food.
I love the enthusiasm for this place and its food.
This guy is simply amazing!!! I love him!!!
I love the videos in this series they are all really interesting and entertaining, shame they haven't made more.
aw the baby is so cute
I just have to say that i have a whole new level of respect for u all. I smoked 1 brisket for 13 hrs and thought i had it rough. Man o man am I wrong. Shot out to u Mr. Franklin. Keep doin what u do. I hope to make it out to ur spot soon.
This video is edited incredibly well. Shoutout to the editors of this video! Well done people!
visited Franklin's last year.
ordered a shit load of food and not even halfway through my stomach wouldn't allow me to eat anymore
because the food is soooo rich!!!
it was really wierd because I can eat the sides but I couldn't eat the meat. sooooo good though was definitely worth the wait and flight
( from California)
was it good though?
It was life changing
I've heard mixed reviews at best. It looks good but I would never wait hours in line for something I can smoke myself.
But yours is not as good. That's why nobody is lining up for yours.
I thought it was pretty good when I ate there two years ago. It was not worth the long wait. I have had ribs and sausage just as good in at least 6 different BBQ joints in Kansas, Alabama, and Tennessee. It was good, but not as amazing as everyone hypes it to be.
I SEE THAT FILIPINO BANANA KETCHUP AT 10:20
damn! good eye man!!! i had to zoom in on dat jufran!!!!!
bmoneybesteves yo that's probably their fucking secret ingredient
ufc or jufran? lmao
This alone makes me love this country. God bless bbq.
This guys fun to watch, hes so stoked about everything.
i remember waking up with my cousins and my brother when i was like 13 at 5 am and waiting all day the line and the people by itself is amazing makes the food 100x better
That's BBQ dedication!
Ordered a couple briskets for pickup on my birthday last year. Grabbed a turkey breast as well. The turkey breast was great but the brisket is without a doubt the best brisket I've ever had. The post oak smoke is strong but not overpowering. The tenderness is perfect. Morning after the party we threw the left over brisket on some breakfast tacos and those breakfast tacos are also the best I've ever had. Expensive and you have to order at least a month ahead of time (if you're doing pickup) but definitely worth it.
Much love and respect
GREAT JOB
love the 24 hour vids!!
this and the chic fil a one were my favorite videos out of the rest!
Andrew has the best work ethics and attitude I have ever seen in my life.
When I grow up, I want to be like him.
Wow what a story! So well crafted!
Anybody notice that JirbyBBQ at 4:50 is on the line serving food at franklins and now he co-owns Goldee's BBQ voted number one on Texas Monthly?!
Love the hard work and passion that goes into Franklin BBQ!
Hi George Adams. I will be opening a BBQ restaurant and will be located within 100 yards of Franklin Barbecue. My BBQ joint will be a complete rip-off of Franklin Barbecue's recipes and I will only serve a maximum of 500 customers per day; however, my customers will only have to wait for 30 minutes maximum to get their delicious BBQ. I plan on spending $4 million to open this new BBQ joint. My business will be similar to Franklin Barbecue (almost a complete copy/rip-off) but just a maximum of 30 minutes wait time for our customers. The price of my BBQ items will only be 5% higher than Franklin Barbecue's prices. Would you pay 5% higher to be able to wait for only 30 minutes?
Aaron is a great guy who loves what he does I’ve watched so many of his videos to learn how to bbq to improve my own skills and I would love to try his food one day.
That was an enjoyable watch. And kudos to going the full 24 like a man! I've been once, can't wait to go back to Franklin's.
I love the working 24 hours series!! keep it coming· :D
Absolutely loved this video!
yeah he make more money xD

Good for you... so happy for ya!
Working 24 hours at franklins BBQ
Aaron: “hold my beer”
We went there a few years ago. Hungover as hell we arrived at 8:30 am and waited in sweltering heat (105) and we were lucky to get in. The brisket is insane, especially the little bits he gives you at the counter. Ribs were excellent, the sausage, however, was dry and not good.
We want more of these!!
Incredible video dude. Class acts all around.
Nobody:
Aussie: Beer time!
2:50 lmao wtf
I'm becoming a true fan of bon appetite, great shows
Thank you for you share the video
All my arteries would be clogged and i would be in a food induced coma if i worked there for 15minutes.
lol you are suppose to work not eat.
Temptation is literally ALWAYS there haha
Mandibule supposed
Chuck Beef No you wouldnt. They sell out everyday lmao Youd be eating a ham sandwich
Mandibule Dude. Im a Chef and you eat on shift if youre line cooking but not BBQ, because its too expensive
Andrew is such a down to earth guy!
huge "props" to you...great series of videos
I live in Austin, I’ve been to Franklin twice and I gotta say this video is really downplaying how hammered everyone gets while they’re waiting in line. Lol it’s like a tailgate
a visit there is definitely on my bucket list
Significant Nobody update??
I don’t eat beef but watching this makes me 🤤
So amazing
Awesome show 👏🏾
