Important note: I called and asked if I could do this beforehand. Aaron was enthusiastically on-board with the idea. Cooking a brisket while waiting in line wasn’t trying to one-up him. Instead it was to highlight the difference between getting a brisket finished and perfecting it.

Cooking a brisket, in a line outside of Franklin's, while wearing a Terry Black's T-shirt. Then Aaron comes to try it. Coolness personified.

I bet he let you cook that brisket just so he can say “ I’ve had a guy cook a brisket whilst in line “ 😂😂😂

[lyleswavel]

Neat how Aaron wasn't all jealous or concerned about competition, I reckon he believes in his product

[laxdfns]

I am convinced that the way Aaron walks and talks makes him the Goldblum of BBQ

[brianwarren]

Aaron Franklin was a good sport to let you do this video, I imagine not everyone would let you do it. Good video

[simonhimself]

Aaron know's he's the champ (in a humble way) so he's not "scared" of a video like this. He even teaches people how to make brisket like him for free on youtube.

I'm happy Aaron was cool with allowing you to do this cook comparison while waiting in line. I had to chuckle when seeing you with Aaron tasting the brisket and you were wearing a Terry Black's BBQ shirt!!! You Rock Jeremy!!! Cheers my friend!!!

Jeremy, I'm smoking a brisket this weekend and I owe you and Aaron big time for teaching me through all your excellent videos. I've been cooking for several years now with repeatable goodness. It's great seeing Aaron so gracious and humble as usual. Stopping at your table to try "imposter brisket" and having fun with the whole situation. Great job. Thank you!

Only Jeremy could cook his own brisket at another bbq restaurant whilst wearing a totally different bbq restaurant's shirt. xD

Rocking the Terry Black's shirt while cooking at Franklin. Gotta love it.😁

[jazzyrick]

Aaron with the cameo and being a good sport...love it!

[jcrewguy]

Your comment about "is it as good as I remember..." was spot on. My first time at Franklin was 10 yrs ago, and was just there again recently and it was as good, if not better than I remembered. (and I've developed a better "taster" as I've been cooking my own these last few years). Franklin is the standard we compare everything else to.

The premise alone is HILARIOUS! Aaron has always seemed like a really grounded dude, and thus just solidifies that.

I waited 3.5 hours back in the day. Enjoyed every minute of it because of the company. Strangers coming from far and wide. Great conversations. The food was phenomenal. I bought my first smoker a week later.

[davidsmith]

That's a incredible job on a 4 hour brisket. I don't see how you nailed it so well cooking it that fast. Franklin's is as good as it gets on ribs and brisket!

[Disastrousmedia]

Jeremy is just out here doing side quests at this point 😂👍

[keithmaxon]

Finally having Aaron Franklin try your brisket . . . and it is this one :) Dude seems super genuine. Great video!

[cronchy]

I love this, Aaron’s a good sport. I wasn’t convinced any food would be worth waiting that long in line until I went there - that brisket is just insane. Holy moly. Worth the trip from the UK for sure.

[philipweeee]

In his book and pbs videos, Aaron pretty much lays out the whole process of how he does brisket, so there’s really no big surprises on how to make it like he does. You just have to put in all the work and hours and not mess up, which isn’t easy
