ZOMG BBQ

Does this Texas Monthly barbecue issue cover mean that Franklin Barbecue will top the magazine's quinquennial Texas Barbecue Top 50? That's certainly a picture of meat and sides from the Austin barbecue joint that's earned a wealth of national acclaim, and, since it opened in 2009, this year is the first time Franklin is eligible. Looking for a clue as to the rest of the top five? Perhaps the six-star ratings on newly crowned Barbecue Editor Daniel Vaughn's personal blog offer a clue. [Texas Monthly, Full Custom Gospel BBQ]
