BBQ with Franklin
Pitmaster Aaron Franklin takes a boisterous road trip of BBQ culture -- the people, the places, and of course the food. Ten half-hour episodes celebrate the traditions and storied histories passed down through the generations, as well as those breathing new life into this distinctly American culture.

I just want to give Tootsie a hug. The world would be a much better place if everyone were like her.

[otrsmalls]

gotta love aaron franklin and how humble and respectful he is. because lets not forget he is a bbq god himself.

[TS-xbqg]

Tootsie is such a legend.. her passion for bbq is spot on .for those that know

[Enjoyrving]

Franklin on PBS talking bbq is great and sharing a sauce recipe outstanding.

When I hear her talk it reminds me of how blessed I was to grow up in the 70's here in Texas when they ALL talked like that including my grandparents, not so many OG's like her around now a days, love my state!

[matthewwright]

Snow’s, Franklin’s. Wow. These are literally the best in the business.

As far as sauces go, I like them all. If it tastes good, people will eat it simply. The fact that we have so many flavors of BBQ to choose from is such a blessing. Just eat.

The Regional BBQ Sauce guy is respectful about every region except one and its noticeable. He talks about Memphis BBQ sauce like it dropped his trousers in front of the varsity cheer squad. Must've dry rubbed him the wrong way

[JDP-wehk]

I like that Aaron is willing to go and give love to other big-time barbecue purveyors.

[stephenreeves]

I know it's already been said but I would drive out to Texas just to good Tootsie a hug. What a wonderful lady!!

Aaron's spicy bbq sauce is my favorite store bought sauce hands down. 3 bottles in my kitchen as we speak

[shawnrubel]

Great video. What a legend tootsie is. Would love to visit her place someday

[ZoKitchen]

That barbecue looks so good making me hungry. Nice restaurant there

There is NO mustard in North Carolina. Yes middle SC, but they did not care to change the map.

I will not bother to address his lack of knowledge about Lexington sauce.

Ms. Tootsie is a tough old gal. Anyone at her age working those big smokers in the Texas heat like that is a badass. She is/was doing custodian work at a school on top of this. Much respect!

[jameshusband]

Dozier's in Fulshear, Texas makes the best Texas style sauce like described. But, it is one of those places the meat doesn't need any sauce. A classic catch-22.

Imagine if u own or worked at a random barbecue restaurant and Aaron Franklin just walks in… U better bring out your “A” Game... If you’ve ever been to or seen Franklins Barbecue in Austin, dude has lines out for blocks with people in tents and camping chairs just to eat his barbecue… He’s not just your average customer. 🤣 I’ll be nervous AF! …Respect!

[no.gardenoffeedin]

I have never met the lady, but I absolutely love Miss Tootsie. I will be genuinely sad when we lose her and I pray I can meet her before she retires.

[mattthatsme]

HEYY WE LOVE BBQ in the North East, it's just that no one is really making it here!! I hear good things about Blacks Creek Barbeque out of Quincy MA

[raybaker]

I am so glad Tootsie is still doing it right. She is awesome!
